    Meanwhile in Scotland. Even with a worst case scenario we loose our coastal cities but not much else and the country looks nearly indistinguishable from orbit. Unfortunatley more or less all our cities are costal.

      So yes, I realize this a joke map (honestly, a giant, probably mostly freshwater sea, in the US would be a blessing). But what you’re describing is the main issue with climate change.

      It’s not going to be “the day after tomorrow”. It will be coastal cities… which are… like nearly ALL of them… losing all their economic value. In the US when having this conversation I say “what do you do when any building in Manhattan is uninsurable? What do you do when it’s sure to have severe damage?”.

      For most people there are plenty of places to go, but the “going” is going to be very, very ugly.

    Was wondering how the hell Florida was above ground when I saw the boot shape. Surprising that Saddam Hussein isn’t on this one.
