no, this is just a copy pasta of the Mediterranean Sea onto central US. it ignores the rocky/smoky/blue Ridge mountains and all elevations minus lucky guessing the central plains.

I’m sorry. Im just sensitive to disinformation and apparently not sensitive enough to humor.
Happens to the best of us.
Tho at the some time I bet some real estate people would see this and start buying up “future beach front properties”.
Helping the economy!!1
Damn…I was looking forward to my future as a Burgundian
Florida not being underwater is the first clue this isn’t a legit map lmao
And what’s the deal with Lake Superior, does it get filled in?
As it should be?
Not so superior now, huh?
Also Louisiana lol

There’s Black Sea too. I swear it exists, I saw it!
Why is Florida still there?
Wait are you serious? It’s the Mediterranean Sea
No, but I never miss a chance to punch down at Florida.
Every chance we can.
Because the ocean will reach the middle of the continent trough the mountains North America has close to its West, not through the plains on the South-East.
Can’t you read a map?
It’s actually mirrored Norway
America took viagra.
America needs to call a doctor, it’s infected now.
Like roaches, really hard to kill.
They tied the state to Trump and told him he gets to debate Biden. The hot air is keeping them afloat.
On the bright side, new Italy unlocked
2nd Italy would be really nice about right now, ya know?
I feel like only about ten percent of commenters even looked at the image.
And of those, only 5% know what the mediterranean sea looks like
Florida survived 😣
America’s penis will be the last thing poking outta the water.
Little known fact, Florida floats
It eventually got so hot it got SWOLL and rose up out of the sea.
I came into the comments ready to go off then I saw the fkn boot rofl
Maybe someone needs to start a science shitposts community
There it is, the long lost city of Atlanta!
“Turner Field, the Coca-Cola bottling plant the, uh…the airport.”
This would make traveling to Italy so much more convinient.
Was wondering how the hell Florida was above ground when I saw the boot shape. Surprising that Saddam Hussein isn’t on this one.
The only way to fix it is to flush it all away Any fucking time, any fucking day Learn to swim, I’ll see you down in Arizona Bay
Some say the end is near
Some say we’ll see Armageddon soon
Certainly hope we will, I sure could use a vacation from this stupid shit…silly shit…
What scientists are these? Fully half of the U.S. is going to be underwater in the next thirty years?
Bull fucking shit.
It’s not real, that’s the Mediterranean sea.
I knew something was up when literal mountains in the black hills were under but the great plains along the great rivers were totally fine.
science_memes
I got too heated lol, forgot to check what neighborhood I was in.
At first I was confused because Tennessee is a lot of mountains, so them getting covered with water was surprising
Then I saw Italy
Ah common mistake
Dear God, *hio still exists, truly the worst timeline.
Meanwhile in Scotland. Even with a worst case scenario we loose our coastal cities but not much else and the country looks nearly indistinguishable from orbit. Unfortunatley more or less all our cities are costal.
I’m Finnish, but also live on the coast.
And my city, Turku, has these signs all over the place about where the sea level used to be, like just a few thousand years ago. And those signs are at the top of a hill, where there’s an observatory.
So yes, I realize this a joke map (honestly, a giant, probably mostly freshwater sea, in the US would be a blessing). But what you’re describing is the main issue with climate change.
It’s not going to be “the day after tomorrow”. It will be coastal cities… which are… like nearly ALL of them… losing all their economic value. In the US when having this conversation I say “what do you do when any building in Manhattan is uninsurable? What do you do when it’s sure to have severe damage?”.
For most people there are plenty of places to go, but the “going” is going to be very, very ugly.
On the bright side a lot of the most valuble beach front tower blocks are just huge empty investment vehicles so the rich are going to take one for the team on this one.
They already own a second or third house in a mountain state so they can ski in the winter. They’re already pre-migrated.
Not as great as it seems. The thing is, everyone’s retirement is tied to real-estate. The numbers my vary country by country, but nearly all pension funds and mutual funds have significant exposure to real-estate that is just ignoring the issue that those properties may become uninsurable. That’s before what happens due to the economic disruption of all those cities slowly, then at an increased velocity, relocating.
It’s not going to be pretty.
This is so med.
