Things I personally found interesting 1. Almost all of Netherlands will vanish from maps if sea level rises by just 3-5 metres. 2. By the end of it the only landmasses left were Tibetan plateau and Andes mountain range. 3. Australia was quick to join with Papua as soon as water level dropped a little making the ancient continent of Sahul 4. NZ got a huge chunk of land kinda showing the continent of Zelandia 5. A new significant landmass popped up in southern Indian ocean Kerguelean. 6. All the extra land acquired by island nations like Maldives, Seychelles, Fiji etc. 7. English channel got drained at around 40m and UK finally got connected with the mainland Europe (directly to France) 8. Sea level rise resulted in a small sea in the middle of Australia 9. The increase in sea level can be easily traced in South America as you can clearly see Amazon river starting to flood and expand. 10. By the end of sea level fall you see a land ridge in Indian ocean (west of Indonesia) which is basically the land that India left behind as it was moving from Africa to collide into Asia
The Netherlands are actually already mostly below sea level, they just have a sea wall. This does provide some level of hope for the future since we can invent ways to prevent the ocean from swallowing the land. However, this could fail at any moment and does of course reduce the natural beauty of the coastline in most cases.

It's pretty interesting that Antartica is one of the last landmasses before the mountain ranges to get submerged. This is because with that Icesheet ontop of it, Antartica is actually the highest continet in the world with an average altitude of 2.5k meters. Which is also why it's interior is colder that the coast because of the altitude.
Also remember Antarctica land mass is pressed under all those ice, when all ice will melt the pressure might release abruptly and make the dormant volcanoes of Antarctica to erupt all at once making even more land for Antarctica!
I’ve wanted to see a simulation like this show the effect of falling sea levels for years. There were so many stupid discussions in my textbooks talking about all these mysteries of how civilization moved across continents and built all these cities and monuments that are underwater but I always said “Well when the earth was covered in ice during the last ice age, where do you think the ice came from? Think it just appeared? No the sea levels had to have gone down” and a map like this easily explains it.

Yes, and imagine the sea level rise when the glaciers melted after the ice ages. No wonder they find whale bones in the Atacama Desert and whale fossils in the Sahara. I've never heard the theory that the Sahara turned from jungle to desert from being submerged for years, killing all vegetation. But I bet that's the case. If sea levels rose and fell again there would be nothing green left - no animals or birds. Just fish. Imagine the civilizations buried beneath the sands of the Sahara that they will never find. So many exciting things to imagine.
Fascinating how quickly the connection between Alaska and Russia appears even with a tiny drop in sea level forming the Beringia Land Bridge between North America and Eurasia.
That explains why during Ice Age (When the sea level was around 50-60 meters below current sea level) was possible for humans to travel between Eurasia and America
Or the Doggerland bridge between the UK and the rest of Europe which is now the North Sea and the English Channel. During the last Ice Age that was all land and even today they find ancient human remains and ruins at the bottom of the North Sea.
In the movie waterworld, the plot revolved around finding the last piece of land in an oceanworld, The main character were around the New York area as shown during some underwater scenes. In the movie they found a small japanese island with long dead inhabitants. Looking at this map at 2:06 -2400 meters there is indeed a straight path from New York towards Japan at a northwest angle. I love it when movies include such detail!
To be fair there isn't enough water even in ice to have sea levels that high. Actually most of the water on earth is in the mantle and slowly the earth sequesters water. Though not fast enough to be a problem since the expanding sun will boil away the oceans before they can be absorbed by the mantle.
At 2400-2600 m of the falling sea levels, you can clearly see the new proposed 'Zeelandia' continent, which is buried underwater below New Zealand, which means that New Zealand is just a mountain range of the continent. Plus, it has every propriety of a normal continent too
If, as someone said, the maximum rise would be about 68 meters, then I would assume that much of Antarctica and Greenland would be uncovered by ice yet still possibly under water. I would like to see a simulation of that as well.
Idk why I got the biggest sense of fear when the sea levels started rising in the beginning, and the biggest sense of relief when the water started filling up in the end, knowing both were probably never going to happen anywhere close to now.
Personally, i fell that having 0080m of low sea level would be perfect. Since, not only would new zealand be a new continent, but also that parts of the ancient world that is currently under water would finally be able be viewed by the public and allow us to study them.
This would render the Panama and Suez canals unusable, close up the Bering Strait, fuck with weather patterns and make places have less rain, and create wars for people trying to claim the new land.
@@haven216 Check the facts not the media hype. Category FIVE hurricane history - almost extinct. Since Al Gore’s “Inconvenient Truth” (a melodrama posing as a documentary) it’s been about 17 years. During that time there have been TWO C5s to touch the USA but none in the last six years. In the 16 years prior to I.T. there were EIGHT C5s. 1990-2006 (8) Andrew, Mitch, Isabel, Ivan, Emily, Katrina, Rita, Wilma. 2006-today (2) Michael, Irma - none since 2018 Looks like they’re disappearing - thank you “climate change” The ratios are the same no matter which category of hurricane size you choose.
You gotta love how freaking massive Lake Superior is in northern Michigan. it's like one of the most outstanding land changes for miles around when the water is drained. Like a little indent in a flat plane
The fact that the Great Lakes aren’t full of water when this simulation begins really saps all the credibility out of this video for me. Like, why does Florida have to sink before the St. Laurence Seaway is present? As a side note, I can’t wait for Florida to sink.
What's interesting here is that the sea before the last ice age was about 120 meters or something lower. So 4:30 is pretty much how it was. You can see where "Doggerland" used to be, same as the Sumatran peninsula, "Sunderland". Then all got swallowed up by the sea
We have been in cyclic ice ages for about the past million years or so, but be advised but the current sea level is roughly 300 feet ("100 meters") *lower* than the average over the last 500 million years, and down *1200ish feet* ("400 meters") from the peak over Phanerozoic time. Basically, the sea levels during the time that humans have been around is wildly out of character low for the earth and is highly anomalous. And thus very unlikely to stay that way, humans or not. I also note that the 1200 feet is about as high as it can possibly be, once you have melted all the ice, there is no more water, the continental crust is also finite, going past 1200 feet is not physically possible.
@@mariusmatei2946 Yes, that was the point. The implication being that we are not "normal" now, trying to keep it at an abnormally low level is probably not realistic.
This was a simulation of god dumping unlimited water on the world, plate movement is kinds itrelevant. The ice all melting would only raise the ocean like 70 meters or something
I guess one would need to include both changes in sea level and motion of plates and elevation of different land masses. Would love to see it! Ice ages, continental drift, mega volcanoes.
Ignoring water crises the map around the 5:40 mark would be such an interesting world to live in and see the history of A few predictions: 1. Coastal Antarctica (which would be a bit greener as its land would reach further north) would be settled by the people who reached Tierra del Fuego in our world with a culture similar to Greenland’s developing there. 2. Polynesia or Phoenicia-style seafaring and island hopping empires all over the world.
3. Japanese Empire could more easily conquer the rest of asia bc how easy it is to transport minerals (key meaning : better logistics for japan either for war or for goods)
@@chalkp Japan wouldn't be anywhere near the same as today. The isolated civil wars, safe from outside interference, are what made Japan what it is. I think Japan would likely be 2nd Tibet in this world. A mountainous area dominated by the Chinese heartland.
I find it interesting how when the sea levels are dropping, strips of land start to appear everywhere and sort of start to look like how the tectonic plates are arranged especially around the americas
Interesting that Lake Eyre in almost Central Australia grows quickly early, this is definitely created based on altitude levels not sea levels rising, that region is totally surrounded by higher ground and its very dry most of the year, it is fed by rivers from the east that empty into it rather than it being possible for sea rise to back up a river from the sea.
Very useful simulation. The important range is from -120 meters below the current sea level during ice ages to +80 meters above when all of the polar ice melts. Would have been nice if the simulation also illustrated the estimated ice cover over land as it changes with the sea level
Would be useful to include a 'lights out' feature, where the city names disappear once that location is underwater. Lima and Kathmandu would, I think, be last to flicker out. Also interesting is the latter part of the video, which I suppose is what happens when the magnetic field around the planet fails or weakens to the point that the sun's radiation begin stripping away atmosphere and water -- until there's no life left, and no possibility of it either.
The simulation is very useful, indeed; but it highlights, solely, the level of the land above, and below the sea level, not the land flooded/inundated as a result of the melting glaciers, or the sea level drop as a result of the glaciations (hence the sea levels rise, and fall above/below 8000 meters).
@@michaelthibault7930yeah, a mere 10 meters rise in the sea levels, and cities like Tokyo, Shanghai, Bombay, Calcutta, Jakarta, London, Amsterdam,... would be submerged (by water)/go "lights out". Of course, the scenario/simulation featured in this video, is (purely) hypothetical, as, even if all the glaciers in the World (including Antarctica) melted, the sea levels would, still, not rise more than 70 meters; and, so, cities far away from the sea (shores)/shorelines, especially those that are located, at least, at a modesty high altitude (at least, 100 meters above the sea level), would be unaffected by the rise of the sea levels in itself.
Great video! But I feel like the second scenario is infinitely more worse than the first. Even at its most extreme. With more water, we still have a chance (boats, fish, etc.). With no water though... we're finished. That, in a way, makes me worry a little less about rising sea levels.
Also we should remember about magma pressure and the thickness of Earth crust under the oceans. There is quite possible to die due to massive planet eruption
@@blueglassesguy1 If that. One of our US presidents obsessed with climate change (not specifying who) bought a beach front mansion. If the ocean even rose 5m, he'd notice. Behaviours like that make the validity of their concern questionable.
@@joshuagross3151The most sea levels could EVER rise is 68 meters, and thats IF somehow ALL ice on earth melted, which is highly unlikely due to antarctica and greenland surviving with ice in far warmer climates
Sulawesi / Celebes. really hard to drown it down, and really hard to unite with closest island. what a special one. sukar ditenggelamkan, dan sukar disatukan bahkan dengan pulau terdekat. pulau yg istimewa 👏
The video is pretty cool, you should do another of this thing! It’s really satisfying! I like how Greenland survived really long! That was really cool!
The most terrifying of the four scenarios to me is of the previously inhabited continents being revealed by the receding water level. You'd find the dead remains of all sorts of alien like sea creatures littering the soaking ground, massive abandoned heaps of steel and concrete where cities used to be, and billions of human bodies strewn in places they don't belong. The eerie sense that people used to live here... and that it was once covered by thousands of meters of water, in total darkness.
Don't fret it's not going to happen, sea levels ain't rising, it's the ground that's sinking in some place's and rising in other's, Glacial isostatic adjustment, then along comes another ice age and it will all change again over the next several hundreds of million years 😊
I think it would be interesting to see how nations take on new borders with sea levels dropping. Would war break out between France and Britain over land disputes with the new land bridge from the British Isles to mainland Europe. What about the new territory connecting Australia and New Guinea? Russia and the U.S now having a border would led to disaster. Or what about the closing Mediterranean Sea? Would new nations rise? What about the the new large islands formed in the Atlantic? So many possibilities for this kind of world.
Australia and PNG already have a border that extends almost all the way to the PNG coastline. When I was a kid I used to stand on Daru island and I would look to the next island and it was officially Australia.
@@riverinaremedies7894??? Daru island isnt anywhere near australian islands . no way you could see australia . the closest australian territory to daru island is saibai island . over 50 km away . you could be seeing bristow island and mistaking it for australia . but ig its possible if there is a large peak on daru island and Saibai island has tall hills it could be possible but very unlikely
No. If all of Earth's ice melted, the sea level would rise ~68 meters (which would be catastrophic), but not thousands of meters. Scientists in the 90s obviously already knew this.
One positive point that I see in your illustration, is the ease with which anyone left, will be able to take a boat ride to Mt. Everest. Has your video included any compensation for volumetric conversation of snow and ice into a liquid form? The 8k meter figure, is I am assuming a representation of the increased ocean depth from today’s current surface level. It is puzzling to see most of the Earth’s surface inundated, and yet there is still snow and ice on Greenland and Antarctica. Those should have slipped beneath the surface before Kathmandu.
Fun fact. During the Late Cretaceous period America was sliced in the middle by a north-south sea named the Western Interior Seaway. It was populated by plesiosaurs, mosasaurs and large carnivorous fish and separated the western continent that had Triceratops, T. rex and other famous dinosaurs from the eastern continent that had other species.
It’s amazing that the big island of Hawaii stayed above water longer than most of the rest of the world. Mauna Kea is ridiculously tall (4,207.3 m / 13,800 ft).
@@JakeKoenig just because a mountain is mostly underwater doesn't mean it's not the tallest If Everest was this way it's height not changed at all and was partially underwater it wouldn't be considered tall either
Chile is largely located along the Andes, which is a high mountain range. The peaks of those mountains would likely help the Chilean government survive the massive floods, probably making it the last pre-flooding civilization on Earth realistically. While China and India have the Himalayas, the majority of their population and governmental centers aren't close enough to the mountains, while Chile's are. All in all, that is how Chile MIGHT survive the end of the world, if they don't collapse from riots and the like before the floods even happen
Así es, la primera gran barrera natural de Chile es la poco conocida "Cordillera de la costa" que en su punto más alto pasa los 3 mil metros de altura en el norte del país.
There is one problem: A area under the actual sealevel will not fill automatically. There are a lot of areas under the 0 Level at the moment that are not filled with ocean water. Death valley or the death sea.
Something interesting that the data isnt accounting for is the rebound effect. As the water enters certain areas it is pretty heavy but when its ice its super heavy.
True, but that takes many thousands of years. Much of North America is still rebounding from the last Ice Age. That's why sea level doesn't appear to be rising here than in many other areas.
Reference points: 0:29 - water level increase 69 meters - level if all ice melts 4:33 - water level decrease of 130 meters - level during ice age 20,000 years ago
Majority of the world: submerged Santiago, Nairobi, Tehran, and Kathmandu: *(sips) This is fine!* Chile loved the ocean so much that the ocean returned the favor by sparing Santiago till the end. And on the bright side, at least we survived a bit longer than the southern government
Wow!!! Africa seems to be the last continent to start having major changes.... I forgot the name of the movie but at the last part of the movie it shows the survivors in very large ships heading towards Africa.
The great lakes were gone WAY too early in the dry up period, at ~50 Meters (~150 feet) I know from sonar fishing that they are EXTREMELY deep from glacial carving, we used to have sonar returns never come back in relatively close to shore areas with sonar set at the ~250 foot range (~83 meter).

Amazing how quickly the North and Baltic seas disappear with the water drop. Same for the Arctic ocean, it's gone after 400 meters... And then nothing moves until we're at 4k meters under sea level 😊
Tenía miedo en general acerca de la subida del nivel del mar, pero me quedo un poco más tranquilo viendo que donde vivo el proceso tardaría bastante. Lo malo serían los refugiados climáticos.
Decho vi por un sitio de Google, que si toda la Antártida se descongelara, el nivel del mar solamente subiría unos 7 metros (no es mucho a comparación de los edificios y la tierra en general)
The simulation of a global deluge is interesting, even in real life it surpassed and tripled the level of evil 3 times more. To such a point of disappearance the highest mountain in the world and modified relief and geography (atmospheric, terrestrial, aerial, maritime, fluvial) upon reaching its current state.
Never been happier to live near Denali in Alaska! I'd get waterfront property lol. Damn this video is soooooo cool!! It also shows that with a drop of 150 meters in sea levels due to glacier ice, how easily early humans were basically able to walk to any continent on earth without getting their feet wet! So cool!
If see levels could drop around 1000 meters with no consequence that’d be pretty dope, it looks like 2 different world. You have all the continents and then ocean is filled with islands like it an endless archipelago in some places
Notice the crazy speed at which Florida withers away. This is why it's a huge mistake to live there long term. All it takes is the most modest of increases and the whole of the southern coasts on both sides becomes a loss. Central Florida and the Panhandle will take longer but they won't be far behind. As for the rest of the world, it's needless to say that ALL sea coastlines are also at sea level, with varying degrees of grade but all of them will be consumed at the same time, forcing human activity ever further inland. Rivers and deltas will likewise be inundated as a new normal level pushes them back and back. Eventually, the vast majority of the human population becomes displaced since the vast majority live close to water. Meanwhile, the further inland you go, the more struggle you encounter with droughts, poor land and lack of misc resources becoming an increasing problem. You're damned from within and damned from without, two unlivable forces crushing hundreds of millions into an ever more narrow band of survivability. We should have paid attention several decades ago. Now we pay for that. Edit: Another thing people don't seem to even consider let alone discuss with any importance... Submerged civlilzation does not just go away. What happens to thousands of miles of human infrastructure when it is in constant exposure to salt water? It rots away, exactly. It's not just concrete, steel, wood and sheet rock you have to worry about. It's all the other things we produce and store. Chemicals of all kinds, waste materials of all kinds, misc materials of all kinds that are stable until you throw them in the ocean, mass losses of livestock like what happened during Hurricane Florence, millions of coffins popping up out of submerged cemetaries, the list of things that will end up in the ocean is LENGTHY and horrible. This mass dissolution of lost human civilization into the oceans will massively compound our situation.
@@TheShadowBall16 Yep the crazy part is that anything that is already below sea level becomes SUPER vulnerable to sudden inundation. You'll see this play out as the rise actually begins to threaten low lying places. They'll scramble to create complex wall and pump systems which then need to ABSOLUTELY be maintained on ever dwindling resources, then one little slip and boom there it all goes. That's what happened with Katrina and New Orleans.
The rise and fall of the Sea is such a heart breaking and interesting documentary perfectly visualized through artistic storytelling. Salute to the Sea for rising so high yet falling off like everything else at the end🫡
Well scientists have estimated there is another 75 meters of water locked in the ice at the north and south poles. So this simulation should have stopped at the 31 second mark for rising water, before dropping. then it should have stoop dropping at around 250 meters below sea level. Unless you turn earth into another snowball.
The worst case scenario for rising sea levels is about 68 meters. That is if all of the ice on Earth melted.

The fact that the Great Lakes aren’t full of water when this simulation begins really saps all the credibility out of this video for me. Like, why does Florida have to sink before the St. Laurence Seaway is present?
As a side note, I can’t wait for Florida to sink.

Finally, a rise and fall video that doesn't have to do with a celebrity!
What's interesting here is that the sea before the last ice age was about 120 meters or something lower. So 4:30 is pretty much how it was. You can see where "Doggerland" used to be, same as the Sumatran peninsula, "Sunderland". Then all got swallowed up by the sea
4:32,4:31
We have been in cyclic ice ages for about the past million years or so, but be advised but the current sea level is roughly 300 feet ("100 meters") *lower* than the average over the last 500 million years, and down *1200ish feet* ("400 meters") from the peak over Phanerozoic time. Basically, the sea levels during the time that humans have been around is wildly out of character low for the earth and is highly anomalous. And thus very unlikely to stay that way, humans or not. I also note that the 1200 feet is about as high as it can possibly be, once you have melted all the ice, there is no more water, the continental crust is also finite, going past 1200 feet is not physically possible.
@@brettbuck7362it's "lower" because we/the Earth is actually going through/in an ice age!

Interesting that Lake Eyre in almost Central Australia grows quickly early, this is definitely created based on altitude levels not sea levels rising, that region is totally surrounded by higher ground and its very dry most of the year, it is fed by rivers from the east that empty into it rather than it being possible for sea rise to back up a river from the sea.

Very useful simulation. The important range is from -120 meters below the current sea level during ice ages to +80 meters above when all of the polar ice melts.
Would have been nice if the simulation also illustrated the estimated ice cover over land as it changes with the sea level
Там у человека New York не тонет =)) , это самая смешная симуляция .
Would be useful to include a 'lights out' feature, where the city names disappear once that location is underwater. Lima and Kathmandu would, I think, be last to flicker out.
Also interesting is the latter part of the video, which I suppose is what happens when the magnetic field around the planet fails or weakens to the point that the sun's radiation begin stripping away atmosphere and water -- until there's no life left, and no possibility of it either.
The simulation is very useful, indeed; but it highlights, solely, the level of the land above, and below the sea level, not the land flooded/inundated as a result of the melting glaciers, or the sea level drop as a result of the glaciations (hence the sea levels rise, and fall above/below 8000 meters).
@@michaelthibault7930yeah, a mere 10 meters rise in the sea levels, and cities like Tokyo, Shanghai, Bombay, Calcutta, Jakarta, London, Amsterdam,... would be submerged (by water)/go "lights out". Of course, the scenario/simulation featured in this video, is (purely) hypothetical, as, even if all the glaciers in the World (including Antarctica) melted, the sea levels would, still, not rise more than 70 meters; and, so, cities far away from the sea (shores)/shorelines, especially those that are located, at least, at a modesty high altitude (at least, 100 meters above the sea level), would be unaffected by the rise of the sea levels in itself.

Great video! But I feel like the second scenario is infinitely more worse than the first. Even at its most extreme. With more water, we still have a chance (boats, fish, etc.). With no water though... we're finished.
That, in a way, makes me worry a little less about rising sea levels.

The most terrifying of the four scenarios to me is of the previously inhabited continents being revealed by the receding water level. You'd find the dead remains of all sorts of alien like sea creatures littering the soaking ground, massive abandoned heaps of steel and concrete where cities used to be, and billions of human bodies strewn in places they don't belong. The eerie sense that people used to live here... and that it was once covered by thousands of meters of water, in total darkness.

I think it would be interesting to see how nations take on new borders with sea levels dropping. Would war break out between France and Britain over land disputes with the new land bridge from the British Isles to mainland Europe. What about the new territory connecting Australia and New Guinea? Russia and the U.S now having a border would led to disaster. Or what about the closing Mediterranean Sea? Would new nations rise? What about the the new large islands formed in the Atlantic? So many possibilities for this kind of world.

No. If all of Earth's ice melted, the sea level would rise ~68 meters (which would be catastrophic), but not thousands of meters. Scientists in the 90s obviously already knew this.
One positive point that I see in your illustration, is the ease with which anyone left, will be able to take a boat ride to Mt. Everest. Has your video included any compensation for volumetric conversation of snow and ice into a liquid form?
The 8k meter figure, is I am assuming a representation of the increased ocean depth from today’s current surface level. It is puzzling to see most of the Earth’s surface inundated, and yet there is still snow and ice on Greenland and Antarctica. Those should have slipped beneath the surface before Kathmandu.
50 m water level rise is ideal, the unwanted cities will be flooded
@@1mol831 What are the unwanted cities ?
Fun fact. During the Late Cretaceous period America was sliced in the middle by a north-south sea named the Western Interior Seaway.

For me its crazy how Chile survives a lot even tho its literally a really big coast
Chile is largely located along the Andes, which is a high mountain range. The peaks of those mountains would likely help the Chilean government survive the massive floods, probably making it the last pre-flooding civilization on Earth realistically. While China and India have the Himalayas, the majority of their population and governmental centers aren't close enough to the mountains, while Chile's are. All in all, that is how Chile MIGHT survive the end of the world, if they don't collapse from riots and the like before the floods even happen
@@oi-cj1pzbig flood
Chile has the highest average land above sea level in America, 1871 m. And also many peaks above 6000 m.
ackchually in this scenario chile is not protected by the andes, which is in its "back". the protection comes from the lesser known "coastal range"
Así es, la primera gran barrera natural de Chile es la poco conocida "Cordillera de la costa" que en su punto más alto pasa los 3 mil metros de altura en el norte del país.

Something interesting that the data isnt accounting for is the rebound effect. As the water enters certain areas it is pretty heavy but when its ice its super heavy.
True, but that takes many thousands of years. Much of North America is still rebounding from the last Ice Age. That's why sea level doesn't appear to be rising here than in many other areas.

Notice the crazy speed at which Florida withers away. This is why it's a huge mistake to live there long term. All it takes is the most modest of increases and the whole of the southern coasts on both sides becomes a loss. Central Florida and the Panhandle will take longer but they won't be far behind.
As for the rest of the world, it's needless to say that ALL sea coastlines are also at sea level, with varying degrees of grade but all of them will be consumed at the same time, forcing human activity ever further inland. Rivers and deltas will likewise be inundated as a new normal level pushes them back and back. Eventually, the vast majority of the human population becomes displaced since the vast majority live close to water. Meanwhile, the further inland you go, the more struggle you encounter with droughts, poor land and lack of misc resources becoming an increasing problem. You're damned from within and damned from without, two unlivable forces crushing hundreds of millions into an ever more narrow band of survivability.
We should have paid attention several decades ago. Now we pay for that.
Edit: Another thing people don't seem to even consider let alone discuss with any importance... Submerged civlilzation does not just go away. What happens to thousands of miles of human infrastructure when it is in constant exposure to salt water? It rots away, exactly. It's not just concrete, steel, wood and sheet rock you have to worry about. It's all the other things we produce and store. Chemicals of all kinds, waste materials of all kinds, misc materials of all kinds that are stable until you throw them in the ocean, mass losses of livestock like what happened during Hurricane Florence, millions of coffins popping up out of submerged cemetaries, the list of things that will end up in the ocean is LENGTHY and horrible. This mass dissolution of lost human civilization into the oceans will massively compound our situation.
The same goes for the Netherlands too.
@@TheShadowBall16 Yep the crazy part is that anything that is already below sea level becomes SUPER vulnerable to sudden inundation. You'll see this play out as the rise actually begins to threaten low lying places. They'll scramble to create complex wall and pump systems which then need to ABSOLUTELY be maintained on ever dwindling resources, then one little slip and boom there it all goes. That's what happened with Katrina and New Orleans.

Well scientists have estimated there is another 75 meters of water locked in the ice at the north and south poles.
