The Wind. Since I was writing "It's the Water" I realized I owed you the other reason to eventually live above 5000 feet elevation most of the year. As a precognitive psychic as I look forward through time the one eventuality of Global Climate change that humans are the least prepared for is the wind. During the next 300+ years the winds will slowly increase. Yes, at times there will be extreme winds of 200 mph even now on the planet in Hurricanes and the like. However, I'm speaking of something more regular above 100 miles per hour in many places on earth that aren't very mountainous and that are below 3000 feet in elevation.
We already have had tornadoes in the United States this year that came so fast there was no warning and at least 50 people died overnight here in the United States. Something like this hasn't happened that I know of for at least 50 years. And that was before early warning systems were in place to give people the time to reach shelter. However, this particular group of storms came so fast at a time most people were asleep(2am to 6 am) that many died or were injured because of the incredible speed of the storms.
Unfortunately, I believe over the next 100 years these storms without enough warning to reach shelter will become more and more common in many areas and people will have to weigh how important it is to stay where they are for family or friends or whether their lives are more important. This is something people have always had to do during climate shifts as long as mankind have been on earth. So it is nothing new to the human race.
