Neat idea, but:

  1. Way too fast.
  2. Not a very good projection
  3. 500M is creation myth level flooding. Should be kept in the realm of reality or marked as Kevin Costner fanfic.

That's good feedback. I could slow it down, but I didn't know how much patience typically people have around here. I agree on the projection - the underlying data is all gridded though and reprojecting elevation is quite doable, but reprojecting populations and keeping track of how many people are now involved is non trivial. If you have a suggestion, let me know.

Sure, 500m is not going to happen, but people kept asking me to show what happens at that height.

This is your second post of approximately the same thing. No comments on the other post requested that.

People on the street kept asking for it.

You have people on your streets still? They're all flooded here and you basically only see ducks.

I'm asking for a version that shows what would happen if at the same time the sea level is rising our necks all stretched by the same amount keeping our heads above water. I'll keep asking for this until I see it.

Why push this narrative when the maximum rise would be 70m if all ice melted? ❄️ It would be bad enough, no need to exaggerate with this kind of visualization. https://vividmaps.com/the-world-with-a-70-meters-sea-level-rise/amp/

I don’t know who has an a map that would accurately depict this event but I think even a quarter of one of those scenarios would be devastating

I had one that went on to 100m but then people kept asking me what happens if we go to 500, so ...

Sure. What would happen if Europa crashed into Earth?

Nothing that will matters to us in the long term

because there wont be anyone left to tell immediatelly after

Then random people kept asking what if it was 1000m? Or, people kept asking if, instead of water, it was LAVA!!????

What would it look like if the displaced populations diffused to other areas where populations/settlements already exists?

It would be interesting to see how super dense areas that need to evacuate flooded areas would affect surrounding areas in unaffected regions in terms of population growth as the sea level rises.

It would be interesting to see the opposite, a projection of ice age conditions. A 300m+ sea level fall, coupled with a 300m+ rise in sea floor level due to crust compression from the mass of a 2km thick sheet of ice over most of Canada and Russia.

Spain seems to be the least affected, time to brush up on my Spanish.

No joke on my bucket list. My mother spent time in Austria, Norway and Switzerland in the early 50s. Even in black and white photos the area looks incredible

Don't forget, half the world would be pissing their pats, which would make the water raise even faster.

using this map and a 3-d render you can build a survival game that would be very realistic

500m sea level rise is laughable. I.e. NEVER gonna happen.

Water constantly and evenly rising without any other nasty effects over years/centuries is a massive oversimplification. Far more people will be at risk all through the way to that, how many people would survive in your area if just one of the days of all those years gets to, I don't know, 60ºC? Even 40-50ºC with very high humidity will do the work. And massive rains, or hurricanes or other extreme weather events. No matter how safe are you from sea rise, is the whole pack what put your life at risk.

It’s reassuring to know that Florida will be the first to go

Yes. That's my favorite part of these animations, seeing Florida disappear almost instantly. Except, all those Floridians would then scramble northward like elderly, wrinkled cockroaches, building CVSs and Riteaides everywhere. Florida man and his family would stay put and drown.
