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"
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.
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
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.
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.
Burn more coal, I still see part of Texas left.
From my Oklahoma friend: "Give Texas back to Mexico!"

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
Another Italy?
In this economy??
This is getting out of hand! Now there are two of them.
I'll pay taxes necessary for another Italy if we get another Greece. Fuck now I'm hungry
Florida being basically the same.. even the ocean didn't want that fuckin place.
Man I was hoping this was real thanks :(
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
Your only saying that cuz you have hope for the future
Oh oh I know this one!!!! It's at the bottom of the swamp they said they'd drain!!!!
Do you have a source for this? I'm going to need to do some of my own research before I start believing that.
John Denver - Rocky Mountain High
Flo Rida - Low
WATER RUNS DOWNHILL
Scientific and irrefutable :)
Except:
-Get Out of Denver - Bob Seger
-Because I Got High - Afroman
-Running Up That Hill - Kate Bush

A legitimate Gulf of America
Amerope isn't real, it cannot hurt us
Florida is still there so not real
Yeah no way FL and LA are above sea level.
Flattest state in the Union. My town is a whopping 33' above sea level.
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.
how is new orelans still there if its built under sea level?
The nice thing about climate change is I can retire in a seaside town without ever having to move house.
How dare you give Missouri such good food
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
Missouri. They get the best food in climatechangerica
As long as I can still see some titties on the Huzzah I am okay with whatever

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
huh. TIL
Looks like my house is still there so fuck it.

Keep going. We haven't sunk Florida yet.
I'm starting my rain dance while lighting up a mouth full of cigarettes. We need this bitch to flood in less than 5.
Lol, had me for a minute.
I was wondering why the water wouldn't match the topography and the realized where it's posted.
Great, just what I needed. MORE humidity
new york is close enough, no one's heard of jefferson anyways
lake Superior lookin pretty lush
Lol, the mountains in the East underwater.
I don't think it can be reversed. They're just saying that so we don't freak out super saiyan level.
That is this, some sort of shit post.

Inland sea could return?
Amazing what 34 million years does to land formations. Time truely is fucking king.
I never get tired of the map of Laramidia. I really was born in the wrong generation. I should have been an ankylosaur
Feck you, Canada won't be any part of the US, or the Mediterranean!
at least, they'll finally get decent food
I guess I’ll have water front property before I die after all.
Damn, hoped it was real.
I think this is rather a representation of how the common USA citizen see the world lmao
Waterfront property in Omaha! It’s gonna be lit!
So hilarious/s
