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.
Projections for when though?
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.
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
2075
And likely much earlier.
Due to the nature of science and how any predictions and projections it makes needs to be couched in exceedingly conservative tones, it has become a running gag in climate science that everything will happen “much sooner than expected”. Because invariably, it does. Sometime hundreds of years sooner than expected.
Hell, it was first thought that the AMOC wouldn’t collapse for centuries, and now more accurate projections put it as being sometime between 2025 and 2085, with a “most likely due date” of some time in the early 2050s. And this is still an exceedingly conservative estimate. Who wants to bet that it’ll happen much sooner than even that?
2025 is in less than 60 days. Much sooner than that would be like tomorrow.
2025 is in less than 60 days. Much sooner than that would be like tomorrow.
My last reference was the 2050s “most likely due date”. That is bound to get revised radically towards the present, as more data is collected.
And at the very least, that entire range is going to be compressed towards the present as well.
Climate change isn't real, it's the democrat water machines they have in the ocean to punish red states, dummy.
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.
Party in the city where the heat is on all night, on the beach 'til the break of dawn

Reminds me of this 2 second SFX https://youtu.be/qMPpnCvCZvw
Just seeing the pic, I could hear the sound.
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
Cape Coral will certainly be living up to its name.
Good, fuck Florida!
Orlando not under water. Clearly God hates humanity.
This map fails to depict unfathomably massive amount of seaweed that the ocean is going to push in. The ocean doesn't stop pushing in, ever. The shit will be 100 feet high.
that will be a fun new tourist attraction
I was recently in the Yucatán and their tourist season is basically driven by seaweed these days because it grows so much in the warmer temps. In summer the beaches are covered in rotten seaweed and no one wants to travel there. I imagine Florida will start to experience this as well.
Ocean: "your land, my choice"
I mourn the loss the Key West, and... Not much else, geographically speaking.
RIP Cape Canaveral
Free Willy the lazy version
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!
to be fair it’ll be more like a greenish brown.
If it’s not visibly happening right now, then they won’t believe you until their house is underwater.
Pfff. Have liberals never heard of red tide?
[Still gurgled from underwater, even while surrounded by the floating water bloated corpses of their neighbors, who weren't able to get homeowner's insurance for the prior 20 years] "let's go Brandon!"*
