This is going to be a big thread about climate change, energy, and @TheExpanseWR. Literal representation, analogues, creative decisions in general - I want to talk about it all! Will post my own thoughts, other ppl's tweets, etc.
It's been in the show from day one. The opening titles of season show
- Icebergs breaking free
- The statue of liberty's little island being built up after it's coated in water
- S4,5 sea level rise in Chesapeake bay
It's in the show too. "The gulf of Denmark". Old Boston turned into the square tops of buildings barely visible. Sea walls lock out the ocean. The show is set in 2350: climate change is driving people off Earth.

Some Redditor actually found a rough comparison angle to compare the CGI future Copenhagen to the real one - I've actually walked down this bit to get the Australian consulate

Episode 2 of Season 5 has plenty of rich detail, now there are longer scenes on Earth. Baltimore is a post-climate city: a sea higher than the city itself, widespread apartment solar. Interestingly: not a single car; but a heavy, prominent (electric?) train, cycles, walking.

Baltimore by S5 of The Expanse. Most of the "old" city is gone, flooded in by climate change.

Unlike New York, they never got their seawall up on time to protect most of the present-day city.#TheExpanse pic.twitter.com/Wt515DQBU3
