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.

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

Flattest state in the Union. My town is a whopping 33' above sea level.
Capricorn_Geriatric@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 323d
Since a 2°C increase in temp means a ~2m increase in sea level, there's plenty of room left over from your 33'.

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.
