It's the tried and true method of sticking your head in the sand and hoping the problem goes away.
The "Set it and forget it" of climate disasters.
So they going to tell the Ocean to not reclaim the land‽
Most of Florida will ignore this for 2-4 years, then some hurricane that breaks records will chart a line straight through Florida then things will go from bad to worse.
Insurance companies that have been acting shady will be vindicated as they will not have to pay billions for housing rebuilding.
The general public will have to mass migrate up north as housing and general logistics will be a much harder strain.
Which will be an even bigger issue when the housing market in Florida crashes.
Couple this with Hawaii's new research that Lunar cycles will make coastal tides larger for the next 10-15 years starting around mid-2030s*...
Whatever happened to Gov. DeSantis, the environmentalist?
(Well, at least they have their priorities straight; culture wars are much more important. /s)
Yes, good...keep enticing the braindead among us to move to Florida. Surely, it won't be wiped out by a Category 6 hurricane and rising sea levels...
Listen man, how the hell are we supposed to fix the damn state with that mindset...my dumbass moved there...which was stupid but...I'm canceling out one vote for ignorance and hate...
Yeah, at the rate idiots are migrating to, I don't think that's an effective choice. Better to run like your ass is on fire and your hair is catching before they can kill you with the stupid.
I live in Texas, so the best we can hope to do is win by attrition.
Two can play that game,
Climate Change also plans on removing Florida eventually.
I love how everyone is afraid for the Dutch with climate change and rising sea levels, but the Netherlands gained a province from the sea. The US is about to lose a state.
Just the tip. The area that is less than 15' above sea level.
That's a lot more than "just the tip" tbh
If they want to pretend climate change isn't real, they should lose all federal funding for addressing it.
Florida is fucking COASTAL STATE. GOD DAMMMMM
In some respects the most coastal state. (Don’t worry, I’m actually from Michigan, which is having it’s own water level problems, but thankfully doesn’t have DeSantis in charge)
I don't think they could be more costal without becoming an island.
Good news, everyone!
Thankfully, Florida is a state that isn't subject to weather extremes, so things will be fine.
Guys if we don't believe in it then it's not real.
Rising sea levels hate this one trick!
