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
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.
Miami Heat will have to change their name to Miami Moist.
Miami damp
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.
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
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?
And this is how we can turn Florida blue.
Please tell me all the trump real estate is under water

I mourn the loss the Key West, and... Not much else, geographically speaking.
RIP Cape Canaveral
If it’s not visibly happening right now, then they won’t believe you until their house is underwater.
Cape Coral will certainly be living up to its name.
On the plus side, Palm Beach sinks and so does Mar-A-Lago.
Very encouraging
