Legally my state can’t tell us why. They banned the words that you would use to describe the situation.
which state if you do not mind me asking?
Florida. Can’t talk about climate change.
Aren't they drowning and insurance companies there aren't covering flood damage?
What's the explanation for that?
CLEARLY the intensifying hurricanes and rising water levels are the work of THE WOKE LEFT and their EVIL WEATHER WEAPONS powered by JEWISH MAGIC SPACE LASERS!!!
/s
Florida is falling apart and sinking into the ocean, and it's their own damn fault. Insurance is no longer covering storms and flooding because both are getting SO common and SO extreme that by the time they've finalized payment for one case, the same party has filed 3 more. This is further exasperated by the rampant suburban sprawl Florida is known for, as they bulldozed and developed the coastal flood zones (read: the everglades, the swamps, the coves and inlets, all the little islands and water features that help mitigate storm damage) in order to build more fucking McMansion neighborhoods for retiring Boomers, only for them to get washed away in the next storm. Add on to this an openly Fascist and anti-urban development/public infrastructure (except highways, always more money for highways! Just one more lane bro, we promise!) government, and you get Modern Florida.
Honestly, the best thing that could happen for Florida is if everyone left it, and they ceded it back to the wildlife. We failed, give it up, and move on.
we know its getting badin florida has very little news coming out of it, due to all the trump shaninigans recently. hows the tourism going on there, DISNEY? whos picking your oranges in florida?
The orange trees are dying from fungus anyway. Monoculture and climate change were gonna kill OJ at some point anyway. That’s why it’s coming in smaller plastic bottles for higher prices already. Right? It’s not just naked profiteering, right?
Don't forget their 'solution' to this is to uh, checks notes, abolish property taxes... and replace the lost revenue with increased sales taxes.
In a state massively reliant on tourism.
I concur, Florida is completely a lost cause, the best thing to do would indeed be to just let nature reclaim it, the humans that live there largely won't in 10 to 20 years,.no matter what is done, at this point.
As a geologist I think the deep time context makes this pretty interesting. Florida is a shallow limestone platform that was built underwater. It's only been above ground for the past few million years because recently our planet has had a lot of polar ice cover. Its position above sea level is just as anomalous as the insane developmental practices of the boomers. So it's fitting that they both go down together now, although it's unfortunate for all of the people who suffer needlessly because of their arrogance.
I hope successive generations will learn to live in harmony with nature and accept that their actions have consequences outside of their tiny worldview.
Democrat weather machine.
in RA2, the allies has a weather machine as a superweapon.
I don't remember that in Ride Along 2?
It’s the “globalists” with their weather machines, obviously.
The explanation is that conservative boomers are very, very well versed in gaslighting, enforcing reality denial on others, to keep themselves from ever having to entertain the the idea that they were ever wrong about anything, ever.
... and if they were wrong, it wasn't a big deal, and if it was a big deal, then you deserved it, and if you didn't deserve it, then it doesn't matter in the long run because in the long run we are all dead, etc, ad infinitum.
God punishing wokeness, probably
remember the california fires, insurance isnt covering houses that people KNOWINGLY built in fire prone areas.
Burn it down. Wait, no, that would contribute to climate change
Burn only the ac units. Would solve the problem and be a help in reducing energy emissions.
Yes burning things like plastic and electronics and coolant would totally help the environment. 🙄
Not just coolant, but extremely environmentally hazardous refrigerants.
So you guys keep running the internationally banned refrigerants that destroy the ozone layer, instead of using safer ones?
You know what America stands for, right?
Oh, now you've done it.
It's the height of irony that one of the states spearheading the disinfo campaign is the one that will cease to exist first because of it.
Floriduh is one of my favorite tropes.
Oh that's fine then. Just call it the climate emergency or catastrophe.
I think climate is on the list of bad words.
Knowing the political party, probably also "change"
D’nile I would assume.
Man made climate disaster? Man made climate warming?
It's a shame all the people most likely to go on about Nineteen Eighty-Four (the far right nut jobs), don't recognise this as Newspeak. And actively support their own oppressors.
What the actual fuck, what state is this?
