I can't remember where I saw this (probably a webcomic) where they asked who won the Mexican American war, and the punchline was "well who ended up with Texas"

I don't know, they took some of the most conservative parts of the state to the north and northeast, plus the panhandle. Maybe we've got a chance now.

I'm just glad they took Oklahoma

This is getting out of hand! Now there are two of them.

Florida being basically the same.. even the ocean didn't want that fuckin place.

The sea there hit most of the mountain ranges. If Kentucky is underwater and ohio isn't a lot more than just climate change happened

Florida is going to be submerged way before the Rocky Mountains.

Do you have a source for this? I'm going to need to do some of my own research before I start believing that.

Except:

-Get Out of Denver - Bob Seger

-Because I Got High - Afroman

-Running Up That Hill - Kate Bush

As a citizen scientist, I have to agree with the map's conclusion. If anything, it's optimistic. I'd say the timeline is probably closer to 12 years before that map is our new reality.

Flattest state in the Union. My town is a whopping 33' above sea level.

2

Since a 2°C increase in temp means a ~2m increase in sea level, there's plenty of room left over from your 33'.

The world does not need another Balkan peninsula, trust me. And especially not in a place where guns are legal.

The nice thing about climate change is I can retire in a seaside town without ever having to move house.

I was thinking this looks a lot like the Mediterranean sea. It took me about 1 min to see Italy 🥲

Y’all thought Ohio was gonna invade everyone but it’s everyone invading Ohio

As long as I can still see some titties on the Huzzah I am okay with whatever

I’m from WV, many of us (including myself) care deeply about the environment. That being said, water front property in the state I love would be AMAZING wv with beaches sounds like a dream. Can imagine the valleys and hills would make a bunch of cool islands. Kind of like the Les cheneaux islands up noth. Would be sick as shit for sailing.

Alas I know this is a pipe dream and any environmental effects that drove the water that high would basically turn the rest of the planet into a desert hellscape.

Reverse effect of sea level rise. Can't wait for Florida to sink and all the Rich people that own all the coastal properties to have permanent jet skies

If the US gets their own Mediterranean, maybe they will start having proper food too. Ah who am I kidding, they will never stop eating toxic waste.

I think it Latin it would be color rubrum (color red), or subrufum (reddish), I'm not sure how you use colors though so not totally sure

I've always thought they saw models of the world we havent yet, and they all decided it's financially beneficial (for them) to physically destroy the planet in hopes of having it terraform like this.

I'm starting my rain dance while lighting up a mouth full of cigarettes. We need this bitch to flood in less than 5.

I was wondering why the water wouldn't match the topography and the realized where it's posted.

I don't think it can be reversed. They're just saying that so we don't freak out super saiyan level.

2

Dear God! We can't let that stuff into our country! We need to put up a wall to keep it out. I think I have a chant for it Build the Wall, Build the Wall, Build The Wall.

Amazing what 34 million years does to land formations. Time truely is fucking king.

I think this is rather a representation of how the common USA citizen see the world lmao
