Some of the leading victims to climate change will be U.S. national landmarks, scientists find in a new report.

According to USA Today, the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) released their new report, titled "National Landmarks at Risk." The report details how a rising sea level, extreme heat, wildfires, droughts and other weather events will affect 30 locations deemed most at-risk.

"You can almost trace the history of the United States through these sites," study co-author Adam Markham, director of climate impacts at UCS, told USA Today.

Included in these at-risk locations is where the first Americans lived, where slavery began and ended, where prospectors found gold and more. For example, NASA's Kennedy and Johnson Space Centers, in Florida and Texas, respectively, would be affected by rising sea levels, as would the Statue of Liberty.

"During the last decade and a half, massive fires have swept through Mesa Verde National Park and Bandelier National Monument and other southwestern sites, damaging ancient pueblo masonry, petroglyphs and pottery," Markham said.

The UCS report comes on the heels of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's (IPCC) comprehensive report. The IPCC, a United Nations group of scientists, found climate change was already making its effects felt around the world. The group said world leaders need to act now to curb some of the issues, but they are no longer entirely preventable.

"This report certainly echoes findings from an array of different peer-review studies and is very consistent with the challenges confronting our national security installations," J. Marshall Shepherd, a University of Georgia atmospheric scientist who was not involved in the report, told USA Today. "Remember, most naval facilities, like many of these national treasures, are at or below sea level."

Landmarks closer to the coasts will be subject to suffering coastlines and a rising sea level while those inland could be subject to extreme weather events like hurricanes, wildfired and droughts.

"We're heading into Memorial Day this weekend... Millions of Americans are starting to plan and think about their summer vacations, and many of them are going to go to national parks and historic districts, to the places where American history was made," Markham, told NBC News. "Our report is about... how so many of those places are being impacted right now by climate change.

"The impacts will get worse in the future. The risks are growing. The vulnerability is greater."
