Considering the current trajectory of global warming and sea-level rise can we expect the world to look something like this? I made this map showing the world in the event of a 7m sea level rise using an interactive sea-level rise map on the internet. The world will evidently look much different than it does today, and that's not to mention political features, as this is done on a present-day political map. Also note that the Aral Sea is completely gone, this is arguably inaccurate though. With massive current and future increases in sea level in the Caspian Sea it is logical that some sort of canal project will be undertaken to replenish the Aral Sea. As is evident on closer inspection no one is safe, of course Louisiana, the Low Countries, the Amazon Delta, Venice and Shanghai are devastated as everyone predicted, but along with that we have major regions, such as London, Bremen, Hamburg, the Nile Delta, Hong Kong, the Mekong River Delta, (most of) Bangladesh, Mumbai and even the Persian Gulf, flooded and destroyed. This represents 100s of millions of people and likely 100s of billions of dollars if not more. Its simply not a good outlook for most of humanity.
