    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.

    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.

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

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

      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.

      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.
