Sure, and within a few hundred years, this can all happen. The problem is getting through that period.
Arable land shifts do not happen quickly. And even with the right climate, a desert does not become a farmland in less than a few millennia.

You do realize that even the climate alarmists are talking about a period of many centuries, right?

No they are not. The sea level is expected to rise by several feet within 50 years or so.

It was expected to rise several feet since the 70s. That's almost 40 years now. Has it happened?

Coal needs to be killed as an energy source - it's simply too dirty (I know, I write patents on clean coal tech) - China (and other non-western leftist utopias) don't use clean coal tech......
So GCF - are you willing to go to war with China to force them to stop obliterating the environment? Sanctions ain't going to stop them....and the Commies don't seem to give a fuck about posterity - They honestly believe money will allow party members to escape anything....
For all their smugness - I find it interesting that the Chinese are so sloppy when it comes to the environment.....

LOL
I wish that were so, but alas, it's not happening.

They, and other Southeast Asian nations, are nearly 100% responsible for the near-extinction of most charismatic mammals due to superstitious folk remedies.

I mean.. if this actually happened, that would be fantastic. Our nation really needs to obliterate those giant blue columns in the electoral map. They are utterly destroying the nation. Flooding the cities would be a good solution.
Come on, China! Make it rain!

I have an inflatable alligator pool toy that I am going to use to get up and down the flooded central Florida archipelago traveling between small islands that were once skyskrapers and hills in orlando.

Orlando has to go.
Look at the map.
