What time-frame are you basing your premise on? In the next decades up to half a century it is very unlikely for the geopolitical situation to change much, especially their geography. Granted, there will be coastal changes worldwide. In the next few centuries though things will naturally change, empires do rise and fall and it is quite hard to speculate that far. Who knows, maybe China or US or Russia may not even exist then in the shape and form they are now.

There was just a projection that we could see a 7C global temperature increase in the next 80 years. Sea level rise is just one factor, and is probably the minor factor in comparison to changes in arable land, fresh water resources, and overall farming productivity that 7C will represent. There will be big losers and big winners in the next few decades if these projections hold true.
