“Sense” in that they’re actually close to sea level, maybe, but can you get ~~flood~~ rising sea levels insurance? Or will they all be literally underwater in a decade?

This will not be a problem as they can simply sell their properties to Aquaman.

Everyone know Aquaman is a slumlord who pays rock bottom prices and just lets the places rot.

I think started mostly of a drainage thing. Southern Florida is fucked regardless of those canals. The peninsula is like karst so they can't even build a dike like New Orleans.

Sooo, not just at high risk thanks to climate change but also poisoning the ocean too? Very cool.

Don't worry, the ocean is poisoning us back with salt water intrusion into the aquifers.

[–] Trying2KnowMyself@hexbear.net 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

What exactly is causing that salt water intrusion? There have always been brackish regions, are they perhaps somehow intruding further inland than they used to?

Perhaps it’s more accurate to say we’re poisoning ourselves?
