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

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

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.

Projections for when though?

[-] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 31 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Sorry I had to do a ninja edit: the original post I stole this from didn't have the text on the image, but was rather a retweet of text post with this image (e.g., nested post)

[-] LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net 14 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[-] rxxrc@lemmy.ml 10 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

For fun I did a quick check and based on GEBCO elevation data this looks like about 20m sea rise (I'm guessing exactly -- I assume whoever made the image picked a round number).

Hacked-together graphic showing Florida with sea level rise causing approximately the same coastline as the OP.

I could have posted what 2m looks like but at this scale it just looks like current Florida.

[-] poVoq@slrpnk.net 6 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

20m is if I remember correctly about what the melting of the greenland glacier will cause, which is pretty much locked in already. It will not be 2075 for sure, but probably this millenium.

[-] nicknonya@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 2 weeks ago

your edit was so stealthy if befuddled even the formatter

Right? I was wondering how I got a hanging indent. That could legit be useful

[-] rekabis@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 weeks ago

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?

[-] krashmo@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

2025 is in less than 60 days. Much sooner than that would be like tomorrow.

[-] rekabis@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

2025 is in less than 60 days. Much sooner than that would be like tomorrow.

My last reference was the 2050s “most likely due date”. That is bound to get revised radically towards the present, as more data is collected.

And at the very least, that entire range is going to be compressed towards the present as well.

Climate change isn't real, it's the democrat water machines they have in the ocean to punish red states, dummy.

[-] apocalypticat@lemmy.world 19 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[-] piccolo@sh.itjust.works 15 points 2 weeks ago

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.

Please tell me all the trump real estate is under water

[-] MimicJar@lemmy.world 27 points 2 weeks ago

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.

Financially? Always has been.

[-] daggermoon@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago

I'd much prefer the Floridians stay in Florida. We need to stop climate change before the Floridians move in next door.

[-] JustZ@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[-] affiliate@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

that will be a fun new tourist attraction

[-] LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net 6 points 2 weeks ago

I was recently in the Yucatán and their tourist season is basically driven by seaweed these days because it grows so much in the warmer temps. In summer the beaches are covered in rotten seaweed and no one wants to travel there. I imagine Florida will start to experience this as well.

They have to sell their homes first, like smart man Ben Shapiro, said. And that might take so long that they drown!

If it’s not visibly happening right now, then they won’t believe you until their house is underwater.
