Cities on Earth

[Draculabot]

Mentally, when I think of cities on Earth in SS13, I imagine sprawling, polluted, overpopulated megacities that are havens of criminals and the desperate. Due to the year of being 2457, some 450+ years past our own, and given our current trends, do you think I'd be wrong?

[Rusty Shackleford]

Loreperson here. You are not wrong. Most of the population is crammed into polluted multi-tiered cities. If I can Find it, I'll provide the map I made of Earth in 2457 to give a sense of scale for the megacities.

That shows the borders of the Earth's supranational organizations, as well as general boundaries for the megacities, though urban areas would extend even further beyond the pink areas.

Holy Jesus my eyes, Like what happened?

Global warming. 400 years worth of global warming.

Even if all of Antartica melted, It would not be that bad.

I didn't create the map from scratch, Vitt. It is one of the projections of the Earth given 500 years of global warming. And yes, a lot of the world is below sea level, meaning that there are a lot of places that would end up underwater.

I like how the only countries that have the same name as they do now are Madagascar and the UAE.

If this is sarcasm, I retort: "Do you want to memorize 90 new nation names?"

I think you're just mad because most of Italy will be gone in a hundred years or so.

That's not his map, No because the only parts that are missing are the fucking dirtbag Secessionists who I would gladly spit on, My problem with this is we are doing the thing we wanted to change by bringing Earth back we are going fifty shades of Grimdark, This map assumes Humanity would not try and stop ecological damage, Which in itself is a falsehood, in my view as we can all see with each year MORE people get concerned about our sustainability an tech is developed to combat this, if a trend continues I would gladly put my marbles on Humanity being able to reverse the ecological damage. Also cut the Argumentum ad hominem.
