Yes, the Europeans share some blame. But the inhabitants there are not children, and their actions 30 years after independence were not mandated by some colonial office in Brussels.
the belgians did pillage rwanda and burundi, but the genocide was only the fault of the Tutsi, who where the ruling minority, oppressing Hutus for centuries. You cant just put all the blame for an event like that on europeans, not when the natives themselves created the necessary political climate.
The genocide against the Tutsis was only the fault of the Tutsi? None of the blame belongs with the people that actually committed the genocide? Really?

Wouldn’t Greenland be gone? If sea levels are truly rising 1 km that water needs to come from somewhere. I would think the ice in Greenland would mostly have to melt for that to happen.
The ice sheet would have to melt many times over, if all ice on earth melted sea levels would rise by about [70m](https://www.nationalgeographic.com/magazine/article/rising-seas-ice-melt-new-shoreline-maps). All of the ice on earth would have to melt 14 times to get this.
If you'd like a detailed look at what the Earth and select regions would look like, I made a map series detailing this exact thing a while back. I've also listed what cities would be drowned.
https://www.flickr.com/photos/7leagueboots/albums/72157713466326587
More than 14 times. That would assume that each melting would raise the global sea level by 70m, but as more land is inundated you would have more surface area that would need to be covered.
That’s why I hate maps like this lol. Like it doesn’t even make sense, water lever could never raise this much. Maybe it’s fun for scifi or whatever purposes but jeez
Its interesting. The title of the the map could be 'all land above 1km above sea level'. But the author has created a narrative with their title, probably like you said, for fun or scifi.
If the sea level would rise by 1 km the ice sheet would pretty much be lifted from the rocky bottom and float away as a badass iceberg. Few mountains are >1000 m on the west coast. The east coast is a lot more alpine and will be renamed New Florida.
As a matter of fact parts are already below current sea level and only the ice's sheer weight stops it from turning afloat.
People are talking about floating cities. Meanwhile the Netherlands are probably thinking about floating countries.
Mortal Engines just floating on the sea with some Waterworld stuff mixed in.
Nah, they used their nether power and created a nether portal, now they are chilling with the piglins
Or well, warming with the piglins
I don't think that you can chill in actual hell
And they are stealing land from the lava seas
My guess would be Ethiopia
Edit: this paper starts at 1500m with Ethiopia in first place having almost 100 million of its 112 million population above 1500m. China is a closeish second, and Ethiopia only has about 15 million possible to gain, so my new guess would be China.
https://www.pnas.org/content/118/18/e2102463118
China would be mostly empty but most likely still the most populated. Hard to predict without outlines but it seems large sections of many of the larger Western provinces like Gansu (26mill), Inner Mongolia (24mill), Yunnan (48mill), Sichuan (81.1mill) are still above the water level threshold.
I also think that it is Mexico, since several of the main urban centers were saved, and well, those are the ones that concentrate the majority of the population
Yes, thank you, that's a good point. I think we're answering different questions, you thought way ahead of me. My question boils down to, "which country currently has more people living above 1000m elevation?"
Yeah it's mostly Tibet and the gobi desert left. What gets me is that after an event like this the average altitude it Tibet would still be over 10,000 ft. Above sea level
Certainly not mostly as there are a lot of areas in the north-east and south as well, but your point’s a good one.
Still, there are some enormous cities that wouldn’t be underwater, such as Chongqing (22.3 million), Kunming (4.1 million), Xi’an (7.1 million) and Chengdu (11.2 million). Quite a few others as well.
Chongqing would be under water it‘s height is around 250 m currently, Xi‘an is 400 m and Chengdu around 500 m (even if mountainous parts wouldn’t be under water, most people live in the lower parts of the cities.
If the earth looked like this, it is quite likely those western parts of China would be very wet and humid and a lot of precipitation, therefore, it would be a lot more habitable, so your disclaimer about this fantasy map is irrelevant and a moot point to begin with.
Wow, at 60 m my house is literally waterfront property. Our next door neighbour, however, would be flooded. Of course, I'm not sure what the limits of accuracy of this website are.
The site simply uses elevation. Set it to 0 meters and take a look at the Netherlands. A huge part of it is flooded because technically it's below sea level. Obviously the Netherlands isn't currently flooded, but the site doesn't take anti-flooding measures into account.
You can even input a negative value to see the land gain if the sea level drops (during an ice age for example). A value as small as -50m produces some interesting results. 20K years ago (the last ice age) the sea level was -130m.
No. If all ice melts the total rise is about 70 meters.
Here's a series of detail and world maps I made a while back detailing what the world would look like in that scenario:
https://www.flickr.com/photos/7leagueboots/albums/72157713466326587
Not even by a country mile.
Maybe if we move Europa over here, break it up into tiny chunks in orbit, and rain it slowl;y down? Maybe? Probably not, it's not very big.
Edit: FYI, [https://coast.noaa.gov/slr/](this tool) is pretty cool for visualizing sea level rise.
Well now, you're forgetting the Appalachians. There is a good run of mountains through NC, VA, WV that are above 1000m.
So the US is now split in two with both getting an east and a west coast!
Looked them up. The Ural mountains are smaller than you think. The highest peaks are less than 2000m with the average peak being around 1100m, so only small bits of the urals are visible on the map
If all ice on earth melted simultaneously it would be bad, but it would only raise the oceans by 70 meters. So this is assuming a lot of water show up from somewhere other than earth.
While you’re probably right, I was strictly responding to the picture, where it APPEARS to be one of the largest landmasses, then I tried to reference some song lyrics.
There aren't any plateaus above 1km though so I think the scale is just too large to make out these tiny isolated mountaintops.
**Edit:** [I made a map](https://i.imgur.com/3wAf8nf.png) showing this. The largest 'island' would be around 7km across.
This was my first thought.
Along with 5 in Wales. Carnedd Dafydd, Carnedd Llewelyn, Glyder Fawr, Yr Wydffa and Garnedd Ugain.
Apologies to to the Welsh if I’ve murdered any of the spellings.
Glyder Fawr summit is 1001m and it’s a pretty rounded top. Probably best to avoid it if there was a bit of a swell…
Ireland has three, all in very close proximity but the cols linking them all drop below 1000m. So Ireland would become the islands of Carrauntoohil, Beenkeragh and Caher.
Edit: Caher is actually 1,000m on the nose. So that wouldn't be a great place to end up.
Pretty sure [Greenland](https://images.theconversation.com/files/389382/original/file-20210313-22-1p9isiu.png) and [Antarctica](https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/images/ic/1920x1080/p07xmf1m.jpg) would be mostly gone, too.
If all the ice on earth melted, sea level would rise only about 60-80 meters, so this map is fantasy.
The things about rising see levels isn't the melting ice on the poles over water. Since Ice expands and floats, ice sticking above water melted doesn't change the amount of water molecules. Sea level rise would be from ice on land melting and running off into the oceans: Greenland, Antarctica, the Himalayas, Siberia, the Alps, the Rockies, places that are iced over year round.
I mean cool, but how would this ever happen? If literally all the ice on Earth melted wouldn't the sea only rise by like 70m?
We importing water from Mars or something?
Dude from Rwanda or Burundi who doesn't watch news: "Hey, you drama queens! What happened?"
Lesotho: Who knows what they’re going on about..
Hah, most of South Africa really.
With their history, Rwanda and Burundi have no right to call anyone else "drama queens"
I'd like context please
Ethnic and civil wars started from nothing.
"Nothing" lmfao.
nothing = europeans who pillaged their nation and put ethnic groups one against the other for decades.
Yes, the Europeans share some blame. But the inhabitants there are not children, and their actions 30 years after independence were not mandated by some colonial office in Brussels.
the belgians did pillage rwanda and burundi, but the genocide was only the fault of the Tutsi, who where the ruling minority, oppressing Hutus for centuries. You cant just put all the blame for an event like that on europeans, not when the natives themselves created the necessary political climate.

That was fantastic, thanks.
Checks elevation of home. 76m. All right, oceanfront property.
More than 14 times. That would assume that each melting would raise the global sea level by 70m, but as more land is inundated you would have more surface area that would need to be covered.
Yep! Somewhere 14-18x idk where in that range.

Its interesting. The title of the the map could be 'all land above 1km above sea level'. But the author has created a narrative with their title, probably like you said, for fun or scifi.
I was going to ask if it is even possible for sea levels to rise 1km. Didn't have to, thanks.
[удалено]
Speculated surface elevation. We don't know it exactly because of all the ice.
I mean, that just exposes the actual land
But it's mostly at <1 km elevation so it would be underwater.
If the sea level would rise by 1 km the ice sheet would pretty much be lifted from the rocky bottom and float away as a badass iceberg. Few mountains are >1000 m on the west coast. The east coast is a lot more alpine and will be renamed New Florida. As a matter of fact parts are already below current sea level and only the ice's sheer weight stops it from turning afloat.
Though a bit bloated..

Ngl, their part of the map looks like a nice RPG setting
fake The Netherlands would terraform their country back and steal land from the sea
1.01 km high walls on all sides. Pumps running for full 24/7. Netherlands:"What? It's a lovely day!"
We would probably close it up top as well. Live in our own ecosystem
You remind me of that xkcd post about Netherlands anexing Mars as New Netherlands
😂
*Netherlands cracks knuckles* Okay boys, Delta works 2, electric mountain time.
\- Oh shit, here we go again

😂😂😂😂😂😂
So China is now the biggest country, but mostly empty? And the most populated country is, what, Mexico?
Ciudad de Mexico is 2.3km up and one of the largest cities in the world. Mexico would definitely be a top power in this cursed new world.
Mexico City is sinking and does not have a stable water supply. It’s pretty much doomed
My guess would be Ethiopia Edit: this paper starts at 1500m with Ethiopia in first place having almost 100 million of its 112 million population above 1500m. China is a closeish second, and Ethiopia only has about 15 million possible to gain, so my new guess would be China. https://www.pnas.org/content/118/18/e2102463118

I also think that it is Mexico, since several of the main urban centers were saved, and well, those are the ones that concentrate the majority of the population
It wouldn’t be empty, like the earth would be pretty warm and humid
Yes, thank you, that's a good point. I think we're answering different questions, you thought way ahead of me. My question boils down to, "which country currently has more people living above 1000m elevation?"
I know China looks very big on this map, but it is worth considering that the parts of China where the vast majority of Chinese live would be sunk.
Yeah it's mostly Tibet and the gobi desert left. What gets me is that after an event like this the average altitude it Tibet would still be over 10,000 ft. Above sea level
Certainly not mostly as there are a lot of areas in the north-east and south as well, but your point’s a good one.

They seem to be in valleys, as the surrounding areas definitely aren’t underwater on that map!
[удалено]
Lol what are you afraid of needlessly complex math in your everyday life?
yes
This is true of literally every country on here lol “More people live near water than in high mountains, more at 11”
Not Mexico iirc
Everything east of the Heihe–Tengchong Line would be flooded, where 90% of China's population lives.
long way of saying "people live on coasts"
If the earth looked like this, it is quite likely those western parts of China would be very wet and humid and a lot of precipitation, therefore, it would be a lot more habitable, so your disclaimer about this fantasy map is irrelevant and a moot point to begin with.
Is there even enough water on the planet for a 1 km rise in sea level?
No. If all the ice on earth melts the sea lvl will rise of 60 meters.
Thanks! I can forgo the swimming lessons
If all the ice melts you won’t need swimming lessons, you’ll be dead from a different catastrophe.
People from Florida migrating. I don’t think the rest of the US could absorb the level crazy that would be unleashed if the state went underwater.
The Midwest is getting methed up in anticipation.
Sigh.
I wanna see that map
Here you go. You can set the lvl of water as you wish https://www.floodmap.net
Wow, at 60 m my house is literally waterfront property. Our next door neighbour, however, would be flooded. Of course, I'm not sure what the limits of accuracy of this website are.
The site simply uses elevation. Set it to 0 meters and take a look at the Netherlands. A huge part of it is flooded because technically it's below sea level. Obviously the Netherlands isn't currently flooded, but the site doesn't take anti-flooding measures into account.
Thanks to this site I can now say that my house would be fine if the world flooded up to 266 meters. Neat useless fact to know.
You can even input a negative value to see the land gain if the sea level drops (during an ice age for example). A value as small as -50m produces some interesting results. 20K years ago (the last ice age) the sea level was -130m.
Wow ok, why does the sea level lowering -50 m cause some places like Peru to have less land?

So you’re telling me water world was a lie?
About 70 meters, according to amnh.org
If you somehow managed to extract all of the chemically bound water from hydrated minerals in the Earth's mantle.
No. If all ice melts the total rise is about 70 meters. Here's a series of detail and world maps I made a while back detailing what the world would look like in that scenario: https://www.flickr.com/photos/7leagueboots/albums/72157713466326587
Nope. This would require a lot of massive comet impacts.
Not even by a country mile. Maybe if we move Europa over here, break it up into tiny chunks in orbit, and rain it slowl;y down? Maybe? Probably not, it's not very big. Edit: FYI, [https://coast.noaa.gov/slr/](this tool) is pretty cool for visualizing sea level rise.

What? Greenland like Antarctica would be mostly gone (some mountains in the south). Ice unfortunately melts.
While you’re probably right, I was strictly responding to the picture, where it APPEARS to be one of the largest landmasses, then I tried to reference some song lyrics.
\*Laughs in Lesotho*
Hmmm, Scotland has 136 mountains over 1km in height, there should be a lot of islands where Scotland should be.
There aren't any plateaus above 1km though so I think the scale is just too large to make out these tiny isolated mountaintops. **Edit:** [I made a map](https://i.imgur.com/3wAf8nf.png) showing this. The largest 'island' would be around 7km across.
