Europe if the sea level rose by 100 meters!

[u/Master1_4Disaster]

[u/RealisticBarnacle115]

I'm curious how the British would handle the scenario.

[u/DrMabuseKafe → u/RealisticBarnacle115]

Invade France?

[u/Humorpalanta → u/DrMabuseKafe]

You mean... Business as usual?

[u/Corvatz123 → u/Humorpalanta]

What else would be there to do?

[u/Old-Bread3637 → u/DrMabuseKafe]

Stuff France invade Spain. Plus they won’t put up as much of a fight

[u/BarristanTheB0ld → u/RealisticBarnacle115]

Rule the waves of course

[u/Nervous-Dog-5462 → u/BarristanTheB0ld]

Good one

[u/AncientMarinerCVN65 → u/RealisticBarnacle115]

They and the Dutch and Belgians are welcome here in the US. But we don’t want any more Irish! We got enough of them! Aww Hell, we’ll take everybody.

[u/Tiny_Megalodon6368 → u/AncientMarinerCVN65]

Haha you should take more Irish. They've improved since you took the first lot.

[u/McTacobum → u/AncientMarinerCVN65]

Some big green lady with a torch just shed a tear somewhere

[u/StolenDabloons → u/AncientMarinerCVN65]

Man those Mexicans will be pissed with you throwing up the gates like that lol

[u/Doc_Occc → u/RealisticBarnacle115]

They'll adapt and fulfill the ultimate destiny for Britain to become Atlantis.

[u/Odd-Consequence8892 → u/Doc_Occc]

Keep calm and carry on

[u/yetix007 → u/RealisticBarnacle115]

Well, London is gone, and there's more water between us and France, so overall, it's a huge win.

[u/chroma_kopia → u/RealisticBarnacle115]

Heeeeyyy.. it's not too bad after all.

[u/Stupid_Dragon → u/RealisticBarnacle115]

Will remember their good ole seawolf traditions, scallywag.

[u/LucianoWombato → u/RealisticBarnacle115]

I mean they were the greatest nation of seafarers after all

[u/MethturbationEnjoyer → u/RealisticBarnacle115]

You mean ^britain

[u/J1mj0hns0n → u/RealisticBarnacle115]

wed all be dead. but dont worry theyve been saying this is going to happen for decades. and one day it will, but slowly over decades, by which time britain/france/spain/germany might not mean anything anymore.

[u/Tiny_Megalodon6368]

If this starts happening build a long canal and refill the Aral Sea.

[u/doston12 → u/Tiny_Megalodon6368]

Waiting for it :)

[u/dog_be_praised]

Any post which shows sea level rise more than 70 meters (the total amount of water on the planet) should be banned.

[u/Brendissimo → u/dog_be_praised]

These types of maps are so lazy and are a staple of repost bots for well over a decade.

When the reality is even a few feet of sea level rise will have drastic consequences, and 100m rise is an insane, unserious scenario. But a few feet (what will actually happen in the next century) doesn't make for a dramatic map.

[u/echoinear → u/dog_be_praised]

But then how would we prepare for when ur mom goes for a swim?

[u/dog_be_praised → u/echoinear]

Yeah you're right, geography isn't a real science anyway. Plenty of future baristas on this sub.

[u/Big-Key7789 → u/dog_be_praised]

Are you dull? It's a joke bro

[u/1ksel → u/dog_be_praised]

It is science, but I completely concur about mentality of those kids from vexilogy and alt history. Just a garbage hobby of dreaming while could simply build rockets and colonise mars...

[u/Micah7979 → u/dog_be_praised]

That's what would happen if the sea level rose by 100m, it's correct even though it couldn't happen. But I agree that it maybe belongs more to r/mapporncirclejerk.

[u/Humorpalanta → u/dog_be_praised]

But you ignore the fact that the Dutch will not stop asking the sea to "gib clay"!!!!

[u/Heavy-Network-4360]

As an Austrian, it definitely sucks not having access to the sea. On the other hand though..

[u/Kamel-Red]

Doesn't sea level rise max out around 70m with 100% melt? As in zero ice.

[u/centaur98 → u/Kamel-Red]

yes, it does this is a scenario which is impossible and not in the "global warming isn't real" sense but in the "there isn't enough water on the surface of Earth for it to happen"

[u/Big-Key7789 → u/centaur98]

Unless OP's mom decides to go for a swim

[u/StrongElderberry8952]

No way Netherlands gone, they're gonna dam the whole coastline

[u/MarkTwainsLeftNipple]

The Dutch would build huuuuge dikes and survive

[u/yetix007 → u/MarkTwainsLeftNipple]

"And as you can see, if all the ice caps melted we'd lose so much la... why is the Netherlands bigger?"

"Oh ja zo ve saw de warter gettings high und started makings ze dikes und got a little bit carried avay ja"

[u/Beautiful_Role_1168 → u/yetix007]

I’m curious as to why you think this even remotely resembles a Dutch accent lmao

[u/Taxfraud777 → u/Beautiful_Role_1168]

He's confusing us with the Germans like everyone does

[u/Beautiful_Role_1168 → u/Taxfraud777]

I assumed so

[u/yetix007 → u/Taxfraud777]

Putting Dutch accent into text doesn't work because it was clearly created as a mockery of the German language, while also annoying the French. It's a masterpiece really.

[u/yetix007 → u/Beautiful_Role_1168]

Please, do better, like genuinely, I want to improve it so I can better mock my Dutch friend.

[u/Proof_Traffic_7095]

Why TF would a landlocked country - Hungary - become submerged?

[u/Aleograf → u/Proof_Traffic_7095]

The Danube

[u/MysticEnby420 → u/Aleograf]

Yeah people don't realize sea level rise means groundwater level rise and river widening as well.

[u/Proof_Traffic_7095 → u/MysticEnby420]

I still doubt that. There are thousands of kms before the river reaches the sea. The excess water would disperse there

[u/omygodifuckinhateyou → u/Proof_Traffic_7095]

Do you not understand elevation or

[u/HighwayInevitable346 → u/Proof_Traffic_7095]

You have no fucking idea how rivers work, they cant drain a basin that's below sea level.

As sea level rises high tide would reach further and further up the canyon until the lowlands in the basin start flooding. The only way to stop it would be to dam the canyon and pump out the danube at least as fast as it flowed in.

[u/skippy_nk → u/Proof_Traffic_7095]

Pannonian sea was there like a milion years ago or something so maybe some underground waters and some shit that remained underneath idk?

[u/amlevy]

[u/PaleoEdits]

Adjö, Danskjävel. /j

[u/turbothy → u/PaleoEdits]

Vi må jo bare tage Sverige tilbage.

[u/PaleoEdits → u/turbothy]

Ni kan få Skåne, det är lungt.

[u/bandit4loboloco → u/PaleoEdits]

Is that Danish for "Adios"?

[u/as1992]

What is the point of posting something that will never happen?

[u/markejani]

How would Hungary get flooded?

[u/ClarkyCat97 → u/markejani]

They might be Hungary, but at least they wouldn't be thirsty.

[u/44-47-25_N_20-28-5-E → u/markejani]

There was a sea in those regions, that's why 80% of those lands are flat

[u/Optimal-Pie-2131 → u/markejani]

Much more water front property for Lake Balaton!

[u/labicicleta- → u/markejani]

Pannonian sea

[u/ur_sexy_body_double → u/markejani]

finally someone asking the important question

[u/hallouminati_pie]

Bye bye England, bye bye Nederlands, bye bye Belgium, bye bye Ireland.

[u/Fantastic_Class_3861 → u/hallouminati_pie]

Not "bye bye Belgium" but "bye bye Flanders," which means only two national languages remaining: French and German. Goodbye to separatist parties like N-VA and Vlaams Belang, and goodbye to dumb rules about languages. For example, a train conductor in Flanders greeted passengers in both Dutch and French but was reported by someone for saying "hello" in French in Flanders. I think Belgians would be much happier if this happened. (Source, Source). Similarly, in municipalities around Brussels where most people speak French, municipal employees are prohibited from speaking French to residents and risk being fired if they do so (Source).

[u/mardegre → u/Fantastic_Class_3861]

Wrong sub bro

[u/Wooden-Bass-3287]

There is not enough water in the world to achieve this.

[u/ur_sexy_body_double → u/Wooden-Bass-3287]

not with that attitude

[u/Rhylan209]

Wales is staying strong

[u/soc96j]

Funny how the 214m high Cliffs of Moher and sourrounding mountains in the west of Ireland are flooded.

[u/Micah7979]

Balaton Lake is apparently now a sea.

[u/WinterRespect1579]

Scotland finally free

[u/halfxdreaminq]

scottish and welsh independence at last

[u/WhenIOverdose]

I wonder how that would change weather patterns

[u/Spion-Geilo]

False, the Dutch would never surrender!

[u/Tabo1987]

So not even then Austria gets back access to the sea 😅

[u/kaoc02]

Still no sea connection for austria. We need trieste back!

[u/brain_of_fried_salt]

And nothing of value was lost.

[u/AcidaliaPlanitia]

Where'd the Faroe Islands go? They have several peaks way, way over 100 meters.

[u/bugsy42]

Czechia still without a sea. Typical.

[u/Wild-Wolverine-860]

This is pretty stupid though, is t sea level expected to rise a couple metres if we continue to warm the world at current levels? If all the ice in the world melts I think it's only 50m rise? The world cannot make more water so 100m is Impossible.

[u/-_-Jack-_-]

These 100 meter sea level rise posts happen periodically and every time they look different! Waste of time looking at this

[u/centaur98 → u/-_-Jack-_-]

it's also straight up impossible to happen since if we melted all ice and snow on the surface of the Earth the sea level would still only rise by give or take 70 meters

[u/Drunken_Dave]

There is no way the Southern Romanian part of the Danube not becoming visibly wider much more westward on a map like this. Downstream from the Iron Gates the left bank is not really hilly and it is evidently lower than the Great Plain in Hungary and Northern Serbia, because the river flows down.

At the other hand there should be an island south of Danube Delta, because a considerable part of Dobruja is higher than 100 m.

Well, resolution issues, they went for big picture I guess.

[u/Jniuzz]

The dutch will never lose to the sea again!

[u/CrueltySquadMODTempt]

Fuck everyone else in Italy, my region is still completely fine and my family is safe.

[u/notthisonefornow]

Luckely the rise of the sealevel is around 70m if ALL ice melts.

[u/PhantomOps1121]

Hey Ferb, I know what we're doing today.

Denmark ❌ Drownmark✅

This area alone has 14 peaks higher than 100m.

So you are speaking about europe in 2100

[u/Henry-Gruby]

That's wrong, I live in a coastal city which is at sea level but it still sppears on your map.

[u/FrostyAlphaPig]

What’s with the lake in Eastern Europe?

[u/woodpigeon01]

Looks like what’s left of Ireland is flipping Britain the bird.

[u/r4n6e]

How does Hungary always get to be a sea itself?! We are joking that we had a sea shore and lost it (Croatia), but this is too ironic even for my taste.

[u/generalraptor2002]

Bye bye Netherlands

Too much France try again

Nvm..
