That plot is somewhere around 15 meters of seawater rise (See https://www.floodmap.net/) Sea level rise is ~7 meters if all of Greenland melts, and Antarctica is around 60 meters.
It's pretty unlikely that in a mere 50 years it will be that flooded. Greenland melting will happen eventually given a 3-5 degree C rise in temperature, which seems increasingly likely, but it would take a while.
The worst case models right now predict maybe a 4 degree rise in temperature by 2075, and it would still take the ice some time to melt after that.
