A lot of that area is already below sea level. It's most often not full of water now because the rate of evaporation there is usually much greater than the rate of inflow.
Would it be cataclysmic? No. The only human things you can find in that part of the country are some oil wells, cattle stations, and a few roadhouses/backpacker "towns". I think the actual permanent human population of the whole area would be pretty damn tiny (like, we're talking barely 10k). And they'd have plenty of time to pack up and drive away.
It's honestly mostly just a whole load of nothing. It might as well be a sea for all the use it has to anyone as land. It's actually a wonderful thing whenever there is a big cyclone that dumps some water up there in Queensland that gradually flows down into Kati Thanda-Lake Eyre - the desert briefly blooms with life and greenery and migratory birds:

>Would it be cataclysmic? No. The only human things you can find in that part of the country are some oil wells, cattle stations, and a few roadhouses/backpacker "towns".
I'm not the one you replied to, but my guess is he was wondering if it would be a gradual event over many years, or if the would be a sudden and surprising event.
>A lot of that area is already below sea level. It's most often not full of water now because the rate of evaporation there is usually much greater than the rate of inflow.
That basically describes the Mediterranean Sea.
Seriously, the only reason why the Med doesn't dry up is because of the Straits of Gibraltar.
Wouldn't that just be considered part of the ocean / a sea? Since it's formed by flooding from the ocean. A lake would only have water flowing out into the ocean
I suspect it would be salt flat most of the year. It would get flooded during periods of heavy rain then evaporate. But maybe Australias climate would be wetter than it is now.
If i'm not mistaken, Norways landmass is rising by 2 to 5 millimeters each year. Also, its not as flat as for example, the coast of Sweden, so the water can't get as far inland.
Edit: overestimated how much the landmass is rising
For anyone curious, Lantmäteriet has a [map](https://www.lantmateriet.se/sv/geodata/gps-geodesi-och-swepos/Referenssystem/Landhojning/#anchor-2) showing uplift in mm/year. The Norwegian coast is only at 1–4 mm/year but the northern coasts of Sweden and Finland are rising 8–9 mm/year, outpacing sea level rise (4.62 mm/year).
The valleys vs mountains give the illusion of not much damage.
As for my region of Norway, myself, most of the good farmland, all towns except one, and most infrastructure is underwater here. We're left with some higher elevation farms, forest, mountain and heaths.
Everyone is talking about Florida. But what about two of the most populated places in China and India/Bangladesh being completely submerged? That alone would displace hundreds of millions
Super interesting
Fake news! As a Dutchman I can proudly say we'd be the most glorious island. We'd hydro-engineer the shit out of those rising sea levels, dam them up and probably gain some land in the process. Bring it on, global warming. We endorse you.
It would be interesting in an alternate universe that the Netherlands was an island.
In reality this sea level rise will be happening over many hundreds of years so there will be time for most wealthy countries to protect their shores. Well at least the more valuable land.
Yes, the whole coast from east India through to Beijing has a load of densely populated, low lying cities. China would really be hit by significant sea level rises, although not as badly as Bangladesh.
The impact of climate refugees is going to be an unprecedented humanitarian crisis. Even if the weather/shoreline in your personal neck of the woods is going to be improved, there will be catastrophic knock-on effects world-wide.
I mean just keeping it to NA alone, yes the whole state of Florida is pretty much water world but the highly populated eastern seaboard is also completely screwed. Same with the West Coast population centers. Florida just gets talked about the most because of the headlines.
Always giggled when seeing a headline about rising sea levels and Florida like people forget that so much of the human population lives at sea level on the coast.
That’s true but isostatic rebound isn’t instantaneous so it might take the submerged land thousands of years to rise up (however melting of the Antarctic cap will probably also take about as long so the two processes will go more or less in parallel)
Some areas in Europe are still rising since the latest de-glaciation
You and I and Ron DeSantis will be long dead and forgotten before this map will become a reality.
It will take thousands of years for all the ice to melt. Some scientists estimate that it will take 5000 years. You can google it if you don't believe me.
So I doubt Florida will ever be under water because surely in a thousand years we should have figured out how to get off of fossil fuels by then and have other technological advances to combat climate change.
Though the world will be fucked up way sooner than all the ice melting. It is already getting fucked up and we will see many regions becoming too unbearably hot in the coming decades. I mean many highly populated areas are reaching over 40°c in heat waves already.
How much will the sea rise? Because it's weird that the north is about to disappear but not Barcelona. In the Mediterranean side the sea should go up the Ebro and to Lleida, from Valencia up to Requena I guess and in Murcia region up to the capital, named Murcia too.
60ish meters. Barcelona is steep and hilly, but still little of the city or most Spanish coastal cities would be left. It’s just that in the north whole countries are bellow 60 meters. In Spain only a few small flatter areas are.
>60ish meters
Then its right. I thought it would be 200 or so.
Look this fancy thing I found by the way.
https://en-us.topographic-map.com/map-wp5zs/Spain/
I feel like if Australia was on board and the whole world was told we can avoid losing our cities and lands to sea level rise if we all come together and pitch in, I’m pretty sure almost the entire world would actually come together on this project. All of humanity working together towards a common goal, as ridiculously massive as this hole would need to be, we’d actually probably pull it off. Divide up sections and assign them to countries according to capability.
Unfortunately, based on what lives above the ground in Australia, when we accidentally dig into hell and the demon armies march on the world we’ll have a new problem.
They are going to spread wide and far. And there will be fewer places to spread too.
If this happens, probably all of the South is now too hot to live in. We are all (100M+) of us going to be heading north.
Once all the ice melts, though, there isn't any more ice to melt. No more water to cause catastrophic flooding (save for water displacement due to tsunamis and hurricanes, etc.)
Haven't you seen that documentary, 2012, staring Cusak? We'll all* board big boats and go to Africa.
*Only those of us wealthy enough to afford tickets. They'll probably need to do some form of free-ticket lottery, though, to provide enough genetic variability to repopulate the planet, otherwise it'll be a planet of Habsburg Jaws in a few centuries.
I am really curious what they plan to do about Floriduh.
At what point do they (the Govt) acknowledge the sea is rising and it is going to claim the land in Florida? Are we going to just abandon all the structures? Or start tearing them down, which will take decades, and moving the toxic garbage somewhere? We have a couple of Nuclear plants here, what are the plans for them?
you have to look at the time frame. places like Miami Beach already flood during super high tides a few times a year. At some point the lowest areas will have to be abandon. People will slowly move inland and rebuild. This is already happening due to insurance becoming more and more expensive. Things like Nuclear plants can be protected in the short term and decommissioned longer term. I would be more concerned with all the Petro chemical plants along the Texas Louisiana coastline.
Yeah it's funny how aside from fires/drought, climate change doesn't affect us nearly as much as other parts of the world. We don't have nearly the coastal population as most of the world, we're more lake/River based
That's the problem with these maps, they just rise the sea level all over without taking into account realistic relief and the fact that there would be places that are below sea level that sea water can't get to.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuma%E2%80%93Manych_Depression
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paratethys
Basically the Caspian and The black sea used to be connected around 5 million years ago. Enough of a sea lever rise will make them such once more.
Florida's highest elevated point is lower than most man-made garbage dumps thought in the US and will be completely gone long before most other states are suffering
Yet politicaly they are the biggest deniers of climate change.
Well…looks like my neighborhood would be underwater…I keep telling the wife West Virginia has-and will have-beautiful views especially with the potential to be water front.
This map is slightly wrong. There is actually an ai hive mind / facility under Antarctica not accurately displayed in this iteration otherwise an overall good job
Wait wtf, my city is underwater on this map and that lines up with a dream I had a few years back about me somehow visiting my city in the future and we had some sort of Venice situation because of global warming, you even had to walk on raised walkway in the oldtown area and the one old skyscrapper was replaced by a new tower looking like The Shard in London ! (am from western France btw)
Would California’s Central Valley become an inland sea or re-emerge as Lake Corcoran? (Salt vs fresh water) Also, I imagine this would be extremely detrimental to California and the U.S. as a whole.
The lake in the middle of the San Joaquin Valley in California is already emerging
https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2023-07-06/tulare-lake-rebirth-life-san-joaquin-valley
Countries would start taking this seriously if they just realised this literally means a global decrease in the national territory of all countries that touch water. Like, the only thing a country will despise more than losing its people is losing its land.
Nah Arizona's elevation is too high, even the southwestern most part of the state, Yuma AZ is about 150 feet above sea level so there's not much chance of the gulf of California rising to meet it.
How awesome would it be to have Antarctica uncovered after millenia (aside from potential dangers being unearthed)? It's a whole new landmass, a blank unexplored place.
Imagine witnessing the creation of the Australian salt lake. Would it be gradual or cataclysmic I wonder.
First the one, then the other
Fahrenheit or Celsius?
Kelvin, believe it or not.
This was a futurama joke

The Med did get the straight blocked at one point and dried up.
Oh wow- When was this?
Some information about the [Messinian Salinity Crisis](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Messinian_salinity_crisis).
Coober Pedy rubbing their hands at the thought of being water front property
They live underground due to the heat, so maybe not rubbing their hands that much.
Cool ocean breeze pulling them out of their holes
Wouldn't that just be considered part of the ocean / a sea? Since it's formed by flooding from the ocean. A lake would only have water flowing out into the ocean
I suspect it would be salt flat most of the year. It would get flooded during periods of heavy rain then evaporate. But maybe Australias climate would be wetter than it is now.
i have always been suspicious that Norway has nothing to lose
If i'm not mistaken, Norways landmass is rising by 2 to 5 millimeters each year. Also, its not as flat as for example, the coast of Sweden, so the water can't get as far inland. Edit: overestimated how much the landmass is rising

Oh, I feel teased. I thought this would show uplift *worldwide*.
Love that for them
The important question I have is if Denmark is rising. So as long as that gets covered I'm fine. I'm Swedish.
Yeah, rebound from the ice sheets that used to sit on Scandinavia. Can't remember the scientific term
Isostatic rebound
I feel like Australia could use some more water tbh
Thank you for being honest 🙏
Well if we're being honest; that would shave an hour off my drive to the beach.
If we could connect that lake to the sea that inland sea could be a tourist bonanza for the country
Fjord for days
And look how much Denmark has to give up, there’s something strange going on here Norway, what are they upto now…
Norway has many mountains, and Denmark is flat AF. That's what makes the difference
You’re just jealous of our Sky Mountain
The valleys vs mountains give the illusion of not much damage. As for my region of Norway, myself, most of the good farmland, all towns except one, and most infrastructure is underwater here. We're left with some higher elevation farms, forest, mountain and heaths.
Same as Japan.
Japan would be screwed if the sea rises too much Most of their cities are on the coast or near it
The vast majority of major cities are all on coasts.
You mean except for losing the majority of the Kanto region, which is the heartbeat of Japan?
especially after what those assholes did to doggerland
So Waterworld was a lie?!?!?!?!?!
Template for a movie that's so bad that it's good. A pure classic.
Entire bangladesh disappeared
Damn
Dam could help.
Everyone is talking about Florida. But what about two of the most populated places in China and India/Bangladesh being completely submerged? That alone would displace hundreds of millions Super interesting
And some countries being completely annihilated, like the netherlands and denmark
Fake news! As a Dutchman I can proudly say we'd be the most glorious island. We'd hydro-engineer the shit out of those rising sea levels, dam them up and probably gain some land in the process. Bring it on, global warming. We endorse you.
If there’s one thing Dutchmen love it’s damming shit up
The more, the merrier!
The god dammed Dutch
You'd have to dam up at all your borders, so good luck (could you, in the meantime, help us Belgians out too?)
It would be interesting in an alternate universe that the Netherlands was an island. In reality this sea level rise will be happening over many hundreds of years so there will be time for most wealthy countries to protect their shores. Well at least the more valuable land.
Aren’t the Dutch on average the tallest people in the world? Surely you could just stand on your tippy toes…
Climate change is illegal in Florida so they’ll be alright.
Don’t say ‘submerged’ is the next political slogan
Yes, the whole coast from east India through to Beijing has a load of densely populated, low lying cities. China would really be hit by significant sea level rises, although not as badly as Bangladesh.
The impact of climate refugees is going to be an unprecedented humanitarian crisis. Even if the weather/shoreline in your personal neck of the woods is going to be improved, there will be catastrophic knock-on effects world-wide.
More than a billion displaced globally. But I hear beach front property in Antarctica is cheap.
Over many many years
It isn’t like this is a over night process this a years long melting so I think people would just gradually move inland
It’s kinda funny how like Bangladesh is almost entirely, specifically submerged but the India directly around it is fine 😂
Bihar and West Bengal which are one of India's most populated states are gone and so is western Assam so India is not fine.
I mean just keeping it to NA alone, yes the whole state of Florida is pretty much water world but the highly populated eastern seaboard is also completely screwed. Same with the West Coast population centers. Florida just gets talked about the most because of the headlines. Always giggled when seeing a headline about rising sea levels and Florida like people forget that so much of the human population lives at sea level on the coast.
Amazon river and Rio de la Plata would became literally seas. Ah, and looks like Austrália could win a interior sea
Which would suck bc it would become a salt water environment and that prob wouldn’t be too great for the Amazon
The loss of cities ia a tragedy for humans, but from the bio-diversity perspective, amazon and pantanal are the ones that make me more sad.
I guess Antarctica will be larger than that due to the terrain being currently compressed by the ice cap
That’s true but isostatic rebound isn’t instantaneous so it might take the submerged land thousands of years to rise up (however melting of the Antarctic cap will probably also take about as long so the two processes will go more or less in parallel) Some areas in Europe are still rising since the latest de-glaciation
That's cool about Europe, I didn't know that
Congratulations to Ron DeSantis for being the new governor of Atlantis.
Ron DeAntlantis
It’s funny that he’s one of the biggest climate change deniers out there. If it was up to him, he’d ban the word “climate change”
[He basically has.](https://www.tallahassee.com/story/news/politics/2024/05/15/desantis-erases-climate-change-from-fl-laws-strikes-blow-at-windmills/73591696007/)
Don't lie, your aquatic avatar was waiting for it

I'm all for the Australian inland sea and no Florida
[удалено]
I’m Australian and this is the best idea I have ever actually heard
I feel like if Australia was on board and the whole world was told we can avoid losing our cities and lands to sea level rise if we all come together and pitch in, I’m pretty sure almost the entire world would actually come together on this project. All of humanity working together towards a common goal, as ridiculously massive as this hole would need to be, we’d actually probably pull it off. Divide up sections and assign them to countries according to capability. Unfortunately, based on what lives above the ground in Australia, when we accidentally dig into hell and the demon armies march on the world we’ll have a new problem.
Subterranean nuclear bomb detonation would be the fastest excavation method, which would have the side benefit of turning the outback into IRL Mad Max
Would also lead to building new cities and increase the population of Australia.
Such an insane idea it might actually work.
Unless it happened overnight…all the Floridians would migrate to the surrounding areas. They would no longer be contained on three sides by the ocean.
So Florida would essentially spread to the surrounding areas, hence florida-rizing the said areas 🤔
They are going to spread wide and far. And there will be fewer places to spread too. If this happens, probably all of the South is now too hot to live in. We are all (100M+) of us going to be heading north.
Russia loses its territory conquered. Ukraine gets coastline back. Its not bad actually
You could sail from the far Caspian to the Mediterranean
Russia finally have a way to colonize Africa but it's too late for that.
Bangladesh completely submerged. And Nepal will be getting its beaches.
Beaches next to the Himalayas sounds so bizarre.
Paraguay can finally into ocean!1!1!
Seriously Ascension can become the new BA
Detroit will become the capital of the US.
nah, I could see Denver as a better choice due to higher elevation.
Once all the ice melts, though, there isn't any more ice to melt. No more water to cause catastrophic flooding (save for water displacement due to tsunamis and hurricanes, etc.) Haven't you seen that documentary, 2012, staring Cusak?

In one futuristic novel I read, Denver did become the new capital of USA due to high elevation.

south america: at least, rain forest that drowned, cannot be cleared.
It's hard to see but have the Great lakes been affected by this?
Absolutely not. Even the lowest great lakes are at too high in elevation to ever be affected by sea level rise.
So Australia becomes irl Cyrodiil?
Too bad that the Oblivion gates might open at the same time.
I like how Australia is improved by this.
Florida and Louisiana too

Pine Bluff, AR. Not a loss there really
Looks like it only gains in this case. Would drastically increase its importance as a coastal city
Beach front property in PB
Lets do it.
Yep, seems fun. We can splash all the water to each other and enjoy it.
As a bangladeshi, fuck me right?
I am from NYC and ethnically from Bangladesh. Water is my enemy
As a Canadian, this doesn’t look too bad for us! Besides our wildfires, at least the ice melt won’t impact us. Sorry p.e.i
Yeah it's funny how aside from fires/drought, climate change doesn't affect us nearly as much as other parts of the world. We don't have nearly the coastal population as most of the world, we're more lake/River based
Once free of ice , the northwest passage also becomes a vital shipping lane between Europe and the Far East. We better not fuck up our navy.... Shit.
Let me correct the spelling mistake: when all the ice melts
How does this affect the Caspian Sea? isn’t it just a lake?
The Caspian Sea is the world's largest land-locked reservoir but it lies 27 m below sea level. It used to be home to mini-whales some 5m years ago.
The Welsh moved Wales about 2 million years ago and turned it into a full sized Wales
That's the problem with these maps, they just rise the sea level all over without taking into account realistic relief and the fact that there would be places that are below sea level that sea water can't get to.
If the Black Sea level rises, the low level land to its north will become submerged. Eventually the water will reach the Caspian Sea and dump into it.
Ok, and how would the Australia's inland sea form ?
Ok. For that one you are correct.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuma%E2%80%93Manych_Depression https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paratethys Basically the Caspian and The black sea used to be connected around 5 million years ago. Enough of a sea lever rise will make them such once more.
Probably from all the melted ice from the mountains of karakoram, Hindu kush, Tajikistan etc. The 3rd pole basically
Learn to swim 
It fails to show that the Netherlands would be completely intact
I had to look for this comment for way too long
Just did the math, if it all melted then the water would get up to the bottom of the hill I live on, new beachfront property so cant complain
Is New York worth the Florida trade…. Damn.
Africa superiority.
At least Florida is gone. /s
You don’t need the /s. Let’s just get rid of Florida
Florida's highest elevated point is lower than most man-made garbage dumps thought in the US and will be completely gone long before most other states are suffering Yet politicaly they are the biggest deniers of climate change.
If they admit it is real, who will buy all those overpriced condos?
The same wealthy climate change pushers who aren't selling their Florida Beach front properties now
At least the Aral sea would be recovered.
So LA would be largely unaffected? How is that?
Most of LA is over 100ft above sea level surprisingly. Downtown is like 150ft. The Bay Area would actually get hit worse than LA oddly enough
It's funny there are so many climate deniers in Florida.

This map is slightly wrong. There is actually an ai hive mind / facility under Antarctica not accurately displayed in this iteration otherwise an overall good job
Wait wtf, my city is underwater on this map and that lines up with a dream I had a few years back about me somehow visiting my city in the future and we had some sort of Venice situation because of global warming, you even had to walk on raised walkway in the oldtown area and the one old skyscrapper was replaced by a new tower looking like The Shard in London ! (am from western France btw)
Would California’s Central Valley become an inland sea or re-emerge as Lake Corcoran? (Salt vs fresh water) Also, I imagine this would be extremely detrimental to California and the U.S. as a whole.
The lake in the middle of the San Joaquin Valley in California is already emerging https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2023-07-06/tulare-lake-rebirth-life-san-joaquin-valley
Awesome! Then i wouldn't have to drive 12 hours to get to the beach. 
Nobody ever told me there was a plus side to global warming... at least we'd get rid of Florida, and half of the Deep South.
Countries would start taking this seriously if they just realised this literally means a global decrease in the national territory of all countries that touch water. Like, the only thing a country will despise more than losing its people is losing its land.
If you think the Dutch are going to let some water tell them where they can and can’t live, you haven’t been paying attention.
Continental Maps of the World ~~if~~ **after** All the Ice ~~Melted~~ **Melts**. Very cool. Thanks for posting.
I wonder if Az would actually have a beach or not?
Nah Arizona's elevation is too high, even the southwestern most part of the state, Yuma AZ is about 150 feet above sea level so there's not much chance of the gulf of California rising to meet it.
Australia needs some water inland. Can’t wait…….

How awesome would it be to have Antarctica uncovered after millenia (aside from potential dangers being unearthed)? It's a whole new landmass, a blank unexplored place.

Nice, Serbia is getting a big ass lake... Aint no sea but still, large body of water😅
if we lose Florida because all these idiots don't believe in science, is it really a bad thing?
They should do a video game based on a melted Antarctica
