It would probably be extremely swampy for a long time. All that time it would release a tremendous amount of methane.

I mean, it's already swampy. Canada has the band of current habitability shown, followed by muskeg (frozen swamp) and boreal forest for most of it's area, followed by a strip of tundra along the coast (and continuing into all those giant uninhabited islands). Swamps are actually carbon fixers, though; it's the process of a swamp drying out and the exposed plant matter rotting that's the problem.

The tundra bit has permafrost that will thaw and rot into pretty pure methane, which is bad, but that's in line to become new boreal forest next rather than new farmland.

Sounds to me like a great energy opportunity, natural gas is totally green energy right? /s

Just put a great big garbage bag over the country and start sucking.

A community for Cartographers with nothing left to lose.

Rules:

Don't be awful Lemmy Guidelines Still Apply.

No direct upload images This is hosted on Lemm.ee- to post images, you must use an image upload service like Imgur to post maps.

We are agents of chaos I've created this to be the alternative to the community I used to manage on the website that shalt not be named "mapporncirclejerk"

Live and let die Meme trends happen, so please don't message mods asking to take down maps that are repetitive to a bit.

Reposts Vs. Covers Not all reposts are evil- if someone posts something that has been done years ago, it serves to bring old memes to the new users. I call these meme covers. However it can be done in excess which makes it a repost and spam. Mods will determine if a post is a cover or a repost.

No impersonating mods I can't believe I had to make this rule.

No harassing mods on an appeal We can talk it out, and we will be acting in good faith when making decisions. If you disagree with a removal, you are free to message for clarification or to appeal by giving some added context.

Bans Bans will be set to a maximum of 365 days for humans, and a minimum of 365 years for bots. I believe people can change, so if you are banned for good reason, do know that it is not permanent, it is just a way to say "take time to grow and come back when you are ready".
