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
Don't forget all the extreme weather eroding away the peninsula. I'm less worried about sea level rise over the next 50 years than I am of a 20' storm surge happening over the course of a few hours.
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.
Archive that, it’s gonna vanish soon.
Climate change isn't real, it's the democrat water machines they have in the ocean to punish red states, dummy.
Looking at the bright side, there will be lots of newly formed artificial reefs available for the remaining fish. Hoping those fish can find a way to adapt to the warmer waters though.
Warmer waters isnt the real problem (well i mean it is) its ocean acidifcation where coral and other marine creatures cant form carbonated calcium shells anymore causing a complete collapose of marine ecosystems.
Certainly that's a big part of problems, as is the collapse of the currents, and so on, sadly.
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.
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.
Party in the city where the heat is on all night, on the beach 'til the break of dawn

Under the sea!

Reminds me of this 2 second SFX https://youtu.be/qMPpnCvCZvw
Just seeing the pic, I could hear the sound.
Damn democrats and their sea machine!
Hurricane machines in 2024 and now this!?
/S
Miami Heat will have to change their name to Miami Moist.
Miami damp
Please tell me all the trump real estate is under water
Along the bottom right you'll see West P[alm] Beach. That's where Mar-a-lago is.
Now by 2075 Trump will be dead, as will likely all of his children except the youngest ones like Baron who will be roughly Trump's current age.
This is also why many "current generation" folks don't care about climate change. They will not be alive to see it, since people just don't live that long.
Basically none of those you hope will suffer the consequences of their actions will.
If we discover a method to obtain eternal life on this world, we should force Trump to be the first subject for him to experience the suffering he created.
Financially? Always has been.
Build! A! Wall!
Funny that just like the border wall, water, just like people and life, finds a way.
I the case of Florida the water base will rise and cities will flood from within.
I'd much prefer the Floridians stay in Florida. We need to stop climate change before the Floridians move in next door.
they might go down with the ship
This map fails to depict unfathomably massive amount of seaweed that the ocean is going to push in. The ocean doesn't stop pushing in, ever. The shit will be 100 feet high.
that will be a fun new tourist attraction
Ocean: "your land, my choice"
Good, fuck Florida!
Cape Coral will certainly be living up to its name.
Pfff. Have liberals never heard of red tide?
I mourn the loss the Key West, and... Not much else, geographically speaking.
RIP Cape Canaveral
to be fair it’ll be more like a greenish brown.
Free Willy the lazy version
Orlando not under water. Clearly God hates humanity.
Putting almost all the major cities underwater is only gonna make what's left more red.
well all those people have to go sonewhere
They have to sell their homes first, like smart man Ben Shapiro, said. And that might take so long that they drown!
Think, man, think!
Fewer electoral college votes tho
Ben is a dumb dumb lol

If it’s not visibly happening right now, then they won’t believe you until their house is underwater.
They could look at their flood insurance bill to see if there is visible evidence of it affecting them
Sure, but is that climate change per se or from being in the middle of hurricane central? Probably both, but again, the hurricane is visible. And while there are more, hurricane central keeps voting red which could be an indicator that they don’t buy or care about climate change.
... and then these small government people will demand that the government help them out
It's a new big flood as the holy bible told us once. It's here to wipe all those slow infidels from the face of earth. I'm pretty sure history rhymes. /s
I like the idea of jesus did come back, took his 3 followers, and we are all left behind
[Still gurgled from underwater, even while surrounded by the floating water bloated corpses of their neighbors, who weren't able to get homeowner's insurance for the prior 20 years] "let's go Brandon!"*
Very encouraging
Ummm.. that would make it a lot redder, no?
Water is blue.
😭😁 whoosh🤦 And this is why I'm taking a news break
