This post is misleading. This scenario will only happen after all the ice is melted in Antarctica causing a >200ft sea level rise, which would take at least a couple millenia of extreme global warming to happen. There will be beachfront property slipping into the sea by 2075 with a lot of ecological and economic consequences involved, the NOAA has given us a neat little tool for visualizing what’s to come. https://coast.noaa.gov/slr/#/layer/slr
Don’t forget all the extreme weather eroding away the peninsula. I’m less worried about sea level rise over the next 50 years than I am of a 20’ storm surge happening over the course of a few hours.
Archive that, it’s gonna vanish soon.
Thank you for the dose of reality. Of course it would be nice if Florida sank into the sea. But let’s try to stick to reality.
Climate change isn’t real, it’s the democrat water machines they have in the ocean to punish red states, dummy.
Projections for when though?
- Sorry I had to do a ninja edit: the original post I stole this from didn’t have the text on the image, but was rather a retweet of text post with this image (e.g., nested post)
I see, the meme makes a lot more sense now. I was like this isn’t a meme it’s just a map of the future of Florida lol.
That said this seems very extreme and exaggerated for 2075. Sea level rise is one of the slowest aspects of climate change. Generally the worst case is thought to be about 2 meters by 2100 which is significant but not enough to affect non-coastal areas.
For fun I did a quick check and based on GEBCO elevation data this looks like about 20m sea rise (I’m guessing exactly – I assume whoever made the image picked a round number).
I could have posted what 2m looks like but at this scale it just looks like current Florida.
20m is if I remember correctly about what the melting of the greenland glacier will cause, which is pretty much locked in already. It will not be 2075 for sure, but probably this millenium.
I grew up a little south of Myakka. A meter rise still puts most of the area under some water. Half a meter put my childhood home in a shallow moat, since it was raised a bit from surroundings.
Maybe you’re right, this won’t be a full time map. But it definitely will be seasonal and difficult to live in
Oh to be clear 2 meters will absolutely devastate some areas. But it won’t look like entire counties inundated as we see in this map.
your edit was so stealthy if befuddled even the formatter
Right? I was wondering how I got a hanging indent. That could legit be useful
Looking at the bright side, there will be lots of newly formed artificial reefs available for the remaining fish. Hoping those fish can find a way to adapt to the warmer waters though.
Warmer waters isnt the real problem (well i mean it is) its ocean acidifcation where coral and other marine creatures cant form carbonated calcium shells anymore causing a complete collapose of marine ecosystems.
Certainly that’s a big part of problems, as is the collapse of the currents, and so on, sadly.
And this is how we can turn Florida blue.
Damn democrats and their sea machine!
Hurricane machines in 2024 and now this!?
/S
I’d much prefer the Floridians stay in Florida. We need to stop climate change before the Floridians move in next door.
they might go down with the ship
Miami Heat will have to change their name to Miami Moist.
Miami damp
Please tell me all the trump real estate is under water
Along the bottom right you’ll see West P[alm] Beach. That’s where Mar-a-lago is.
Now by 2075 Trump will be dead, as will likely all of his children except the youngest ones like Baron who will be roughly Trump’s current age.
This is also why many “current generation” folks don’t care about climate change. They will not be alive to see it, since people just don’t live that long.
Basically none of those you hope will suffer the consequences of their actions will.
If we discover a method to obtain eternal life on this world, we should force Trump to be the first subject for him to experience the suffering he created.
Financially? Always has been.
Build! A! Wall!
Funny that just like the border wall, water, just like people and life, finds a way.
I the case of Florida the water base will rise and cities will flood from within.
Cape Coral will certainly be living up to its name.
Good, fuck Florida!
Orlando not under water. Clearly God hates humanity.
I mourn the loss the Key West, and… Not much else, geographically speaking.
RIP Cape Canaveral
Putting almost all the major cities underwater is only gonna make what’s left more red.
well all those people have to go sonewhere
They have to sell their homes first, like smart man Ben Shapiro, said. And that might take so long that they drown!
Think, man, think!
