    What could go wrong it’s not like Florida is at any risk for damage from rising seas right!?!?? Right!?!?!?

  • DeSantis and anyone who follows him really are fools. Same with the Trump fans. Fools. There is no other way to put it nicer. I hope the smart people in Florida step up and make some noise, but they are probably busy moving out.

      As far as I can tell, the trump supporters are several levels detached from reality. We can talk about their real grievances that led to them supporting trump initially, but that was the mile one, 800 miles in the rear view mirror.

    It’s such a missed opportunity. Climate change could be used as a blanket excuse for a boon in technology, construction, transport network development, urban redesign, an agricultural revolution and all the investment, tourism, etc that would come with that. Adapting our communities and ways of life toward a sustainable world could be an awesome process and something to celebrate. Any politician that sees this and runs with it will look like a hero for relatively little effort.

    Democrats need to begin to understand that even if they don’t think they’re at war, Republicans do. They should start fighting like it.

    The free market will just make living there unaffordable because it cannot be insured anymore.

    Without dikes, levees, and a proper system to alleviate water issues, Florida will return to the sea. And Florida man will have to move elsewhere.

      Exactly.

      Florida about to erase climate change from its laws?

      That’s fine. Climate change will erase Florida using the laws of nature.

      I disagree. They will find a way to still be right while blaming the problem on others. Alternatively it’ll be like giant forests. Cut one down and that open space seems perfectly fine to the children who never saw the forest that used to be there.
