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.

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.
It seems the memes about Americans not knowing geography are correct?

It will be the perfect place to restore the Roman Empire.

Was wondering how the hell Florida was above ground when I saw the boot shape. Surprising that Saddam Hussein isn't on this one.
At first I was confused because Tennessee is a lot of mountains, so them getting covered with water was surprising
Then I saw Italy

Nothing of value was lost.
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.
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.

This is so med.
I'd love to have a great seaside property in Montana. I'll call up Aquaman Realtors ASAP!
Fake bullshit.
Climate change is real and serious, fake nonsense like this just serves to undermine real information about the ongoing disaster that is climate change.

Water is now flowing up. Truly chaotic times.
I see nothing but improvements.
I guess thats one way to turn the central states 'blue'
Who is we? Stop putting this at the feet of the poor and telling me it's my job to fix what billionaires are causing
