Florida is a temporary place: By the year 2500 it will all be underwater

I think a tipping point was reached with Hurricanes Harvey, Irma, Jose and Maria and beyond where people are beginning to realize that Florida and many islands in the caribbean will be gone over the next 500 years completely. What happened to Puerto Rico and other islands is a reminder of this. The mountains of Puerto Rico will still be there that are above 50 feet in elevation. But, by the year 2500 AD Florida (all the land) will be underwater completely. There still likely will be high rise buildings sticking up out of the water in Miami and places like that that people might reach by boat. There still might be buildings built on stilts in the higher places in Florida that still might be there too. Anything above 50 feet above the ocean now might still be there. But, everything else will be completely underwater. So, for boats and ships there will be many underwater hazards if you can imagine everything now underwater there from the Keys up to where land is higher than 50 feet above the present ocean likely in Georgia somewhere.

In fact, it isn't just Florida that will be underwater, all or most of Bangladesh and anywhere else on earth lower than 50 feet elevation above sea level now worldwide which is most coastal cities on earth. So, imagine EVERYWHERE on earth under 50 feet in elevation along coastlines all over earth then underwater.
