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.

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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
Sure, but is that climate change per se or from being in the middle of hurricane central? Probably both, but again, the hurricane is visible. And while there are more, hurricane central keeps voting red which could be an indicator that they don’t buy or care about climate change.

It's a new big flood as the holy bible told us once. It's here to wipe all those slow infidels from the face of earth. I'm pretty sure history rhymes. /s
