no, this is just a copy pasta of the Mediterranean Sea onto central US. it ignores the rocky/smoky/blue Ridge mountains and all elevations minus lucky guessing the central plains.

I'm sorry. Im just sensitive to disinformation and apparently not sensitive enough to humor.
Happens to the best of us.
Tho at the some time I bet some real estate people would see this and start buying up "future beach front properties".

Why is Florida still there?
That's how you know the map is fake.
No joke, that was the first hint.
Wait are you serious? It's the Mediterranean Sea

jesus christ i thought this was real until i noticed fucking louisiana is completely unaffected lmao
It will be the perfect place to restore the Roman Empire.
Was wondering how the hell Florida was above ground when I saw the boot shape. Surprising that Saddam Hussein isn't on this one.
the remnants of nebraska
At first I was confused because Tennessee is a lot of mountains, so them getting covered with water was surprising
Then I saw Italy

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.

I'd love to have a great seaside property in Montana. I'll call up Aquaman Realtors ASAP!
Nothing of value was lost.
I guess thats one way to turn the central states 'blue'
I see nothing but improvements.
The mental climate change of people not being able to read & assess data is truly abhorrent and will demolish the ability to understand maps vs memes.
Who is we? Stop putting this at the feet of the poor and telling me it's my job to fix what billionaires are causing
