      Just the tip. The area that is less than 15’ above sea level.

      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.

    Thankfully, Florida is a state that isn’t subject to weather extremes, so things will be fine.

    If they want to pretend climate change isn’t real, they should lose all federal funding for addressing it.

      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.

    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*…

    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…

        I live in Texas, so the best we can hope to do is win by attrition.

        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.

    It’s the tried and true method of sticking your head in the sand and hoping the problem goes away.

    Whatever happened to Gov. DeSantis, the environmentalist?

    (Well, at least they have their priorities straight; culture wars are much more important. /s)

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
