This does not simulate climate change and you should not describe it as such

Yes, I was agreeing with you. I apologize for being unclear.

Hmmm... I see a legend

For a USA county level assesment of climate risk I reccomend this site https://map.climatevulnerabilityindex.org/map/cvi_overall/us...

As a researcher in this general area I would not say 2m by 2100 is a consensus view of the worst case scenario see [1].
Here is a useful scenario for understanding what different SLR scenarios mean for the states [2]

("most of the Florida peninsula will be under water in 50-100 years" is certainly not true, however, Miami would be in a very difficult spot at 2m SLR)

As a physical oceanographer, the destruction of these observing systems is horrific.
It is hard to stress enough how intentionally OMB is trying to disassemble American science. The new (proposed) OMB guidelines prohibit international collaboration without pre approval for example. They also codify a political grant approval process. https://arstechnica.com/science/2026/05/the-office-of-manage...
Additionally, OMB is not releasing the congressional appropriated funds that they are required to. This is currently tanking the post-doctoral researcher market and eventually will wipe out a generation of researchers if it isn’t stopped. https://grant-witness.us/funding_curves_nsf.html
Please call your elected representatives! It is so so important! https://5calls.org/issue/federal-financial-assistance-scienc...

I would be curious if you have any source for this. I spent about 30 minutes looking through google scholar looking for studies from the 1980s which included snow projections under climate change to no avail.
I even got an account to a british newspaper database website [1] to try to find popular discussion of this claim. I was unable to find anything in maybe 10 minutes of looking.

EDIT: I will also drop this citation for the general question of whether change is happening slower than previously predicted https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1029/201...

These grants make up about 75-80% of all NSF grants

KDE+arch works perfectly out of the box
I hope I have not come across as too snarky. I am a climate scientist and modelling and visualization are a passion of mine so I am excited you are interested in it too. I just am a stickler and think for climate change in particular it is essential we communicate the best possible information we have to the public. I worry that projects like this can detract from more accurate scientifically grounded projections which climate scientists have spent decades on.
Have a good rest of your day.
