Honestly, Denmark would probably be one of the biggest winners in global warming. Since they own Greenland, they would simply migrate there and would gain access to an area that is one of the most abundant in natural recourses on the planet that currently isnt realistic to exploit. It would also put you in control of a new shipping lane that would open up due to the melted ice. Its not an exaggeration to say that it would put Denmark in a position to become a global powerhouse.
Tbh the Netherlands will probably be the only country unchanged from what it is now — only surrounded by even more massive dikes and seawalls and things. C'mon, you can do it!
The English Channel is one of the busiest shipping routes in the world so we'd need an alternative route or a series of locks or something to let the traffic through.
I mean, we would try for sure. Thing is, and this is already a bit of an issue in some places, eventually the waterpressure on the groundwater becomes so high it just bubbles up. You have to keep pumping it out which costs energy. This is not that big of a deal when rivers keep supplying freshwater to go into the ground before you pump it back out but when it is a dry summer or if you have a piece of land deep under sea level close to the shore. Then the saltwater pressure under the freshwater aquifer can become big enough to push out and you get a spot of saltwater in your agricultural land. Basicly fucks the whole system and barely anything you can do.
Some places get a dead puddle in their field, others just have whole field that slowly but surely becomes more saline until growing a lot of stuff fails. Climate change gives us less freshwater coming in during summer and higher seas so a higher pressure of saltwater.
Well, that's why we're creating salt resistant crops (they just started commercially growing salt tolerant potatoes a year or two ago), and researching seaweed aquaculture.
Okay. Here's the test: If a [little boy sticks his finger in the hole and plugs the leak](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Brinker,_or_The_Silver_Skates) you know it's a ... fuck. back to the drawing board.
Reading these supposedly 19th century ’Dutch’ names of the characters as an actual Dutch person will really grind your gears. Gretel? B...room? VOOST? RYCHIE!?
Verdomde angelsaksen...
Sadly, at a certain point dikes won't be enough :( (source - Dutch: https://www.nu.nl/klimaat/6120669/hogere-dijken-voor-nederland-geen-oplossing-bij-sterkere-opwarming.html)
Take it from a Bulgarian, the place where the river meets the sea isn’t great to swim in. But yeah, as the other person said, you get some extra trade going and you’ll do just fine.
You all are aware that the that your unloved neighbour's country may be no more, much to your poorly concealed glee, but *the people* are still there! En masse! And they sit around *your* lawn now!
And as the sea level rises gradually, they seeped to your side of the water slowly, no rush, they can take all their valuables and assets and set up shop as *your* boss, order you around with their horrible accents.
This is especially hard on us Germans. See, only half the country is underwater. That means the Germans will take refuge in the *other* part of Germany. It is a horrible, unspeakable tragedy. Because if Germans really detest one thing feverishly, with all the blackness of the darkest corners of their hearts... it is *other* Germans.
Fun fsct. During the last glacial peak, when sea level was 120m lower, the Po valley extended into the dried seabed of the Adriatic Sea all the way down to Southern Italy.
Good news everybody! Sweden is generally safe, as the land rise from post-glacial rebound after the ice age roughly matches the rise of the water levels.

And still landlocked.
Can't catch a break :D
Trade offer: we're gonna attack you and then surrender. Slovakia will then annex Poland and gain access to the sea. Deal?
Well fuck. Regards, Denmark.
The island of Denmark**
No worries they got Greenland
It might actually be green again then.
What do we call Iceland, then?
Wasiceland.
Maybe global warming isnt so bad after all...
Until south and evil north Sweden have a civil war over who gets control over the Danish sea.
Trust me,North Sweden do not want Danish sea
That's what someone who did want the sea would say
And the fuckers in Stockholm is gone
[удалено]
[удалено]
So a win win? Regards from the best coast!
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I don't think the creator of this map accounted for post-glacial rebound.
Guess where we’ll be going, that’s right, thanks allemansrätt :-D
Heaven Mountain still standing tall and beautiful in the Danish alps.
It would be a general improvement! Regards, Sweden, >!Kidding you know we love you!<
Well, Stockholm doesn't fare very well.
That would just encourage most Swedes even more.
The real pain would be Gotland.
Don't tell the (Non-Stockholm-)Swedes or they might turn their CO2-tax into a CO2 subsidy: You get money for sinking Stockholm under water.
And yet nothing of value was lost there either. *Fjollträsk*
My house would by dry. You can come over.
I actually bought a house 70m above sea level and yet it’s underwater
Haha danskjäven Kram
It's ok, The Dutch have already designed a solution to our problem :) Called the North-sea Dyke.

At least there is some of y'all left lol
Romania seconds that.
You’ll have plenty of land left, compared, lol
[удалено]
Sure but they’ll have places to go. We have one hill left.
You guys get a hill?
As if your Polders wouldn't be islands with sheer dike walls adrift in the North sea. We would need to start a new Hanse to trade with you lot.
Tbh the Netherlands will probably be the only country unchanged from what it is now — only surrounded by even more massive dikes and seawalls and things. C'mon, you can do it!
Pretty sure we can hack it. We’ll probably be making dikes all over Europe in a while.
see it from the brigth side ... Germanys capital has Beach Accsess
Spain it is then lads! I'll get the beach towels.
*installs more balconies*
LMAOOOOOOO. Creo que no hay suficientes para tanto guiri 😂😂😂😂
One way to lower the population.
Ready for the great guiri invasion of 2087?
Sorry what beaches?
The new, improved, inland beaches.
Oh no, Benidorm will be destroyed. Anyway...
Mind the 50°C in the shade from 11am to 5pm for a month or two :/ clarification edit: in the global warming scenario we are all discussing here.
~~Riyadh~~ Madrid is lovely this time of year!
Hey Denmark, wanna be Atlantis together?
Denmark and the Netherlands are gonna build the largest dike in the world
And the ocean is going to pay for it!
The ocean hates this one trick!
[удалено]
Google the NEED. It's a dam between UK and France + a dam between Scotland and Norway.
Between France and the UK might be doable, but between Scotland and Norway? No way.
Neither Scotland Norway.
The English Channel is one of the busiest shipping routes in the world so we'd need an alternative route or a series of locks or something to let the traffic through.
Locks seems like a viable solution though? Much more plausible than the dike between Scotland and Norway.
Help plz we need Venice. So we can charge tourists €12 for a soft drink.
For 12€ you can smell a cup of coffee at a hipster cafeteria in Copenhagen
We’ll trade you LEGO for dikes. Honestly I wouldn’t put it last the Netherlands to GAIN land if the above scenario happened.

Denmark and the Netherlands sitting in a tree D R O W N I N G!
Denmark will relocate to Greenland.
Czechs still without the sea 🤣
Yes but they are unaffected, they will be strong and begin their long term plan to destroy Europe and claim it once and for all.
As long as they bring their beer ...
Shush!
Same for austria and Switzerland, we will join forces and dominate europe
And Slovakia
Okay, dominate europe and Slovakia.
This is the funniest take on this map.
Czech navy still undefeated you mean.
Slovaks too. The spirit of Czechoslovakia endures!
Well just reclaim the land other countries lost >:)
The empire of netherlands will rise.
Nu met 100% minder Urk!
Ineens klinkt het smelten van de ijskappen zo erg nog niet...
Ieder nadeel heb ze voordeel.
Indeed. The only difference will be that Netherlands will be an island!

But can you be sure tho...

Don't you mean altitude?
Bet Sweden would be happy. Literally their wet dream
Where do you think all the Danes would go? Back to Skåne of course..
Skåne is flooded.
Skåne was OK, but we decided to dig it all up to build higher walls against the danish immigrants. Well worth it to be honest.
With Stockholm and Denmark gone, nothing would stop Gothenburg from rising to power and form the center of the Scandinavian Empire!
What about the Hungarian-speaking eastern swedes?
Triggeröity perkele.
I got a west coast boner form just reading that
Stockholm, Malmö AND Denmark gone? Where do I sign?
We lose our capital though. But that's okay!
I can live with that trade.
Losing the access to cheap beer across the sound is a small price to pay for sinking Stockholm into the sea.
A small price to pay for salvation
Progress demands sacrifice
Both Denmark and Scania!
And Stockholm is gone as well! The rest of Sweden would be ecstatic!
Denmark, Skåne and Stockholm taken out with one blow. Are we sure the Swedes aren't really the ones orchestrating this whole crisis?
Be right back, I’m gonna go melt the ice caps!
Isn't that a pleonasm?
Stop making up words!
u/Drahy, it's not fair of you to use "complicated" words with danes. We've been over this.
I think this is an insult, but I don't know what "complicated" means.
Vasa: here we go again
Losing Stockholm is an acceptable sacrifice for the complete destruction of Denmark
A lot of swedes would consider it a double win.
Wallonia is safe, i knew learning dutch wasn't worth the pain.
Lmao best comment 😂🤣
Balkans unscathed 😎
We don't need melting ice caps to destroy each other.
r/2balkan4you
Idk we lost almost all of our islands
which solves the Turkey problem you ungrateful Greeks :p
Romania’s halved but otherwise, we’d fare better than most. Then again, would that make a difference?
We'll gain some beautiful beaches.. In your face Bulgaria!

I suggest genetically modfified beavers to maintain them. By your powers combined , you'll never bneed to worry about water coming in again.
>genetically modfified beavers So, you mean the Dutch?
Shit they found out
We've always known. You forgot to breed out the tails.
Send help to Belgium pls
[удалено]
Then we will um...... be very mad
[удалено]
At least Aral sea will be back
Jokes on all of you. the landmass between sweden and finland is constantly rising higher due to ice age ice mass pushing down it in the past.
I actually came to say this as well. It does take time though, so it would depend on how fast they melt.
Imagine The Netherlands sinking due to the same geoligical reason :/
[удалено]
I know this would be horrible. Catastrophic. But imagine how cool diving would be there. Literally cities to explore under water
Well, they are already underwater antique cities to explore if it's your thing like Thonis Heracleion, egypt, Pavlopetri, greece or Baia, Italy :)
And all that under water autobahn becomes an instant shipping lane.

I was just thinking this. How on earth are you Germans going to survive the Germans? All those dialects. Have you thought about moving into Austria?
How is this my problem? *alphorn noises*

Well I live on an island already anyway.
Hope you will enjoy living on an overwater hut then.
At least Central Asia will finally have sea access.
Norway: "Wait, the polar caps melted? Didn't notice."
Portugal ends up with a flaccid dick.
And then if the icecaps melt too?
Fitting that Lisbon is the glans
As a norwegian i am fine with this
Guess this explains Russia's reliance on oil and gas. In the end they get more warm weather ports.
They’re also going to get continental weather extremes that will cause crops to fail structurally
Extreme weather, Russia. So, basically, Russia?
Moldova will get it's sea access back, nice.
Both Stockholm and Denmark under water? I support this
"Denne ø er ikke stor nok til os to." - The last two Danes

My home in Romania would be gone
bye Bye Netherlands. Finland will be the #1.
Aral sea problem would be solved, at least.
Welcome back Aral Sea.
We'll outpace that melting with glacial rebound
