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

It's gonna be quite hot though in that Spanish highlight island!

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 ...

But that’s impossible.

Sure. What would happen if Europa crashed into Earth?
DouweOsinga OP t1_iyrhz17 wrote
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.

False. The Netherlands would be fine-ish.

Haha, yeah, we'll be ok!

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.
gigglemaniac t1_iyrncui wrote
Then random people kept asking what if it was 1000m? Or, people kept asking if, instead of water, it was LAVA!!????

Switzerland gives no fucks either. Come visit.
tuctrohs t1_iyrp1nb wrote
You have people on your streets still? They're all flooded here and you basically only see ducks.
gigglemaniac t1_iyrpc3w wrote
Yeah, right. The ducks were 50m underwater.

I love a good Star Trek quote. 🥰

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

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

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.

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.
jaylotw t1_iyrsdlg wrote
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.
iamthemosin t1_iyrsr8w wrote
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.

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

The Swiss Alps are insane man, defo make the trip someday.

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

Is this really "beautiful" though? Seems like scaremongering to me

500m sea level rise is laughable. I.e. NEVER gonna happen.
gmuslera t1_iyvsu4v wrote
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.
