    Global climate change and rising sea levels were predicted more than 100 years ago, and specific warnings for low-lying areas like Florida have been given by scientists for decades.

    But people, especially the ‘pull yourself by you bootstraps’ and ‘no gubmint handouts’ people, have conveniently believed politicians of a specific party and chose to invest in buying this property.

    Why should these people be bailed out now? Why should they be rescued rather than the socioeconomically disadvantaged?
