Just like trump’s “don’t count the sick people and we’ll have less sick people.”
Just because you shut your eyes and ears doesn’t mean the problem went away. But that’s the best you can expect coming from republicans these days.
YES IT DOES! LALALALALALALALALA!
I mean, they kinda got it figured out. They don’t even have to acknowledge climate change, if hurricanes threaten Florida they can simply redraw the path of the hurricane with a sharpie. Checkmate, liberals.
not going to help businesses ignore the fact its happening. hows your insurance market defuckface?
Gonna build a beach house 5 miles inland and wait a few years.
The peninsula and archipelago state that is statistically most affected by hurricanes, with the majority of its southern coast at less than 4’ (1.2M) elevation, that is already getting gouged by insurance companies, is ignoring climate change.
Bold strategy, Cotton.
I’m not a geologist by any means but isn’t South Florida uniquely screwed by rising sea levels? I’ve read articles about it basically being a geology problem. There’s a layer of porous limestone on top of the bedrock there. So, the types of flood protection you see in the Netherlands, Southeast Louisiana, etc. (levees, sea walls, pumps, etc.) aren’t possible.
Yep. And they’re already fighting a losing battle against sea water getting into their freshwater supply. There will come a day when the sea levels have risen enough to make Florida tap water not potable throughout the state.
Yes, you have a reasonably accurate description of the problem. It is possible to buy some years of additional use of some areas (eg: parts of Miami) using pumps to move water back out.

Reality has a liberal bias.
Good thing he doesn’t lead a low lying coastal state that would be heavily impacted by climate change and rising sea levels or this would be super awkward.
Didn’t like the movie, the message was okay.
His damage total won’t be measured in dollars it’ll be in meters and lives, if he’s lucky there will be nobody left to remember his name.
i guess one plus side of climate change will be watching florida get completely fucked up
If it was exclusively filled with twatwaffles like DeSantis, I would agree. But there’s a shitton of people that were born there, have nothing to do with the policies (if not actively voting against the people enacting them), and don’t have the resources to up and leave.

Can we sign a bill scrubbing DeSantis from Florida law
From earth.
