  1. 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)

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.

I grew up a little south of Myakka. A meter rise still puts most of the area under some water. Half a meter put my childhood home in a shallow moat, since it was raised a bit from surroundings.

Maybe you're right, this won't be a full time map. But it definitely will be seasonal and difficult to live in

Oh to be clear 2 meters will absolutely devastate some areas. But it won’t look like entire counties inundated as we see in this map.
