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.
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.
Because this is a shitpost and not at all based on reality unless giant chunks of the land get carved away in this specific shape, through mountains and deserts.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The very southern parts are more hilly as they never sat under a glacier and all the other water drains into the caves. Water doesn't want to become ice and is scared those glaciers might come back if they get any ideas about northward expansion.
Climate change is real and serious, fake nonsense like this just serves to undermine real information about the ongoing disaster that is climate change.

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?
That's how you know the map is fake.
No joke, that was the first hint.
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.
America took viagra.
America needs to call a doctor, it's infected now.
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
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.
Because this is a shitpost and not at all based on reality unless giant chunks of the land get carved away in this specific shape, through mountains and deserts.
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.
On the bright side, new Italy unlocked
Venice, North Dakota
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
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."
It will be the perfect place to restore the Roman Empire.
jesus christ i thought this was real until i noticed fucking louisiana is completely unaffected lmao
And Florida! They will be the first to go.
What can I do to expedite global warming? I want to do my part.
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 remnants of nebraska
🤌 🤌 🤌 🤌 🤌 🤌 🤌
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
This would make traveling to Italy so much more convinient.
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...
Dear God, *hio still exists, truly the worst timeline.
I just found out that I am actually from Iowa ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
My condolences

They already own a second or third house in a mountain state so they can ski in the winter. They're already pre-migrated.
The rich never pay for anything. I guarantee-fucking-tee they will get a socialized payout.

It's not going to be pretty.
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.

This is so med.
Brb, moving to northern Dakitaly
In closing, Carthage must be destroyed.
-Trump the Elder
Damn, somehow failed to get rid of Florida...
Nothing of value was lost.
I guess thats one way to turn the central states 'blue'
I see nothing but improvements.
I'd love to have a great seaside property in Montana. I'll call up Aquaman Realtors ASAP!
North Panamarica
im just glad the rockies are underwater
At least New Orleans and Florida are spared.
thats not a good thing
Water is now flowing up. Truly chaotic times.
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
We are the people of Earth. We should not tolerate land rape by corporations, governments, religions or billionaires.
Or anyone else, for that matter
The mental climate change of people not being able to read & assess data is truly abhorrent and will demolish the ability to understand maps vs memes.
Oh, US finally getting universal healthcare!
I’ll finally be able to swim to Vegas.
This would significantly improve Oklahoma
We are going to lose some of our mountains to flooding
Arma 3's lore has a lot of explaining to do
![email protected] is leaking!
There's no way Ohio isn't sunk.
I won't let it
The very southern parts are more hilly as they never sat under a glacier and all the other water drains into the caves. Water doesn't want to become ice and is scared those glaciers might come back if they get any ideas about northward expansion.
Yeah that's where I live.
It's nobody's business but the Turks!
Pueblo, Colorado delenda est
I call the Amalfi coast
I call Lake Como. Always wanted to live on Naboo with grandma.
Hi i'm from Cagliari(Northern Colorado)
They'd ... switch to metric?
Nebraska will have the best pizza. It's-a great news!
We’re going to get Italy? Awesome!
From the looks of it, I'll eventually be living on some waterfront property.
Oh sweet I'll have some nice oceanfront property to inherit. Thanks global warming.
I'm gonna move to New Naples, sell unreasonably good coffee and very expensive tourist trinkets.
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.
I got too heated lol, forgot to check what neighborhood I was in.
Inb4 someone calls you anti-science for this
Well that explains where Italy went
Nebraska's gonna get the boot
Tennessea
I know, I've been on the wrong side of climate change all along!
Wouldn’t be missed.
All roads lead to Grand Island, Nebraska
Once again the Amish can continue what they are doing in PA
Greybull, Wyoming? Nice!
Mmm... Greek BBQ
Lul, climate change will not improve any continent!
This looks fine, more beach front property
Its like the US will have its own mediterranean's. eh?
Man, Ohio is now in Turkiye. Not sure if I'm more excited about the mountains or dreading the time in the restrooms.
Mezze platters for all.
Florida man asserts his dominance.
Oh cool I’ll have a new beachfront property /s
Oh good, they finally annexed Canada and Mexico
Georgia is about right
So they gain a Mediterranean sea. Doesn't seem so bad to me.
Wow, I'm setting every thermostat I ever see to 62 then. This would be so rad.
Why don't we have any lakes this big?
Armenia will have access to sea again. (why did I write two)
You fucking wish.
Didn't even get Ohio, fuck.
Are straight up shitposts allowed here?

Denile is not just a river in
EgyptMississippiFake 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.
Please look for the boot.
Naah man this seems totally legit what are you on about?

We are going to die. It is too late.
