Because the ocean will reach the middle of the continent trough the mountains North America has close to its West, not through the plains on the South-East.

They tied the state to Trump and told him he gets to debate Biden. The hot air is keeping them afloat.

At first I was confused because Tennessee is a lot of mountains, so them getting covered with water was surprising
Then I saw Italy

What scientists are these? Fully half of the U.S. is going to be underwater in the next thirty years?
Bull fucking shit.

It’s not real, that’s the Mediterranean sea.
finitebanjo@lemmy.world 5 days ago
I knew something was up when literal mountains in the black hills were under but the great plains along the great rivers were totally fine.

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.

Fake bullshit.
Climate change is real and serious, fake nonsense like this just serves to undermine real information about the ongoing disaster that is climate change.

crawancon@lemm.ee 5 days ago
no, this is just a copy pasta of the Mediterranean Sea onto central US. it ignores the smoky/blue Ridge mountains and all elevations minus lucky guessing the central plains.

Actually, as tectonic uplift interacts with mantle plume activity, crustal thinning could occur, creating a series of grabens and faulted basins. These basins would rapidly flood as water levels rise, forming an inland sea. The unique east-west orientation of the rift system would shape this new body of water in a manner resembling the Mediterranean. Furthermore, increased precipitation, a byproduct of global climate shifts, could introduce more freshwater inflows from the Mississippi River and other tributaries, enhancing the formation of coastal ecosystems similar to those around the Mediterranean. Over millennia, the regional limestone bedrock would undergo karstification due to the influx of acidic rain, contributing to the rugged, cliffed coastlines characteristic of Mediterranean geology.
