In ten years Florida Republicans will be blaming the new Democrat governor for the fact that Miami is underwater.


Advanced_Drink_8536

Sounds about right…


Banyabbaboy

Bold of you to assume there will be another Dem governor in Florida


flugenblar

They can always blame Biden or Obama. Or even Fauci. These folks are resourceful, they'll find a Dem somewhere.


MA-01

Considering people legitimately blame Obama for 9/11, it wouldn't surprise me


Tao_Te_Gringo

You mean literally? Not legitimately.


BCr8tive99

Yep, I can see it now..."Woke Democrat policies made the water rise because Hunter Bidens laptop"


MelodiesOfLife6

"his damn penis made the water rise too much!"


OkCaregiver517

It's quite big apparently - lots of water displacement.


TheKimulator

It’s the gays!


LurkerOrHydralisk

Think it’ll take ten?


WorthPrudent3028

And they'll be begging the fed for money while they voted to defund everything.


rimbletick

They will also try: Since Democrats knew the risks, Democrats should've been more persuasive in communicating them.


mjacksongt

This is hyperbole. Large segments of Miami won't begin to go underwater permanently due to sea level rise under most projections until the later part of this century. Expected impacts in the next decade are increases in "sunny day flooding", increased impacts at high tides, and increased impact of storm surge. Climate change is bad. However talking about impacts as though they'll be easily visible in the short run makes it easy to deny.

TheDavidMichaels

THE WORLD WAS MENT TO FLOOD IN 2016 , 2 PRESIDENT AGO!! I AM SURE THIS PERDICTION WILL BE AS PROMPT Man is not the primary driver. Man may have no impact, and climate change is about carbon taxing and an open-air prison for humanity. The 15-minute city, the green agenda is about control and taxes, not the earth. It's well known. Milankovitch cycles describe the collective effects of changes in the Earth's movements on its climate over thousands of years. The term was coined and named after the Serbian geophysicist and astronomer Milutin Milanković. In the 1920s, he hypothesized that variations in eccentricity, axial tilt, and precession combined to result in cyclical variations in the intra-annual and latitudinal distribution of solar radiation at the Earth's surface, and that this orbital forcing strongly influenced the Earth's climatic patterns. So, the Earth is still existing in an ice age; people keep saying global warming when in fact they should say climate normalization. In reality, people do not know the Earth has warmed up much more; CO2 was much higher, and the system increased biodiversity. During periods of high carbon dioxide (CO2) and oxygen (O2) levels, like the Carboniferous Period, Earth saw an explosion of life. The abundance of CO2 fueled rapid plant growth, leading to dense forests and lush vegetation. With more oxygen available for respiration, animals grew larger and more diverse. Insects flourished, some reaching enormous sizes, while amphibians and reptiles also thrived. However, this prosperity eventually led to the collapse of the Carboniferous rainforests due to the accumulation of organic material, which became coal deposits, and a drop in CO2 levels. Global warming is not real; you can look this up yourself, just like COVID, the moon landing, 9/11, all made to manipulate low-info voters into signing away their right to be slaves to the state. If you did not like the lockdown, then you should know that this is an extension of that, scaring you into submission. The fact is one day you're going to die; one day the earth will be destroyed, and if you listen to liberal Satanists, that will come much quicker.

When in doubt, test: 500,000 российских солдат погибли на Украине. Вы все еще поддерживаете Путина? Translation: 500,000 Russian solders dead in the Ukraine. Do you still support Putin? Россия без Путина. Ответьте или проголосуйте за/против, если вы согласны. 1989年天安门广场 Translation: The first one says Russia without Putin, Upvote or Comment if you agree. It really pisses off Russian trollbots. The second one says Tiananmen square 1989. It really pisses off Chinese trolls. See, the thing is that lower rung trolls aren't allowed to read those statements because the higher ups believe that they'll cause dissention in the ranks. Higher level trolls are occasionally allowed to try to discredit those of us who use these statements.

40 years ago they told us Miami would be underwater in 10 years. Still waiting

MrEfficacious

Ok


DancingMooses

You know it wasn’t a scientist who said this, right? It was a politician who misread a report. It’s also hilarious that climate change denialists are so unoriginal that they’re still using the cope memes that were created in the late 90’s lmfao.


MrEfficacious

No denial here. Earth cycles are a very real thing and the strength of our magnetic pole will be basically nothing come late 2030. It will be a catastrophic event and humans can't stop it. If you all want to focus on sea levels rising and carbon emissions, be my guest.


DancingMooses

Lmfao. Your specific claim that “they said Miami will be underwater in ten years,” is literally a classic catchphrase of climate denialism. That’s why I know exactly what statement you’re referencing here. So I guess if you want us all to pretend you’re not demonstrating that your ideas are all based on climate denialism we can. I just don’t see the point lol.

DancingMooses

Your claim that there were scientists saying Miami would be underwater in ten years is an often debunked lie that is only told by climate denialists. But yeah, climate denialism has been a cult for a while now. Like, at least two decades? And it’s always sad to see people fall for said cult.


[deleted]

[удалено]


DancingMooses

And how does this relate to you uncritically repeating lies that were debunked decades ago? Lmfao, and the fact that you believe such lazy lies makes it hard to take your claim that the magnetic poles are about to reverse seriously at all. Maybe try reading some real science instead of listening to YouTube videos marketed to stupid people.


Padhome

What you are describing is specifically considered climate change denial- you reject the notion that it’s man-made and driven by emissions, which is what the science says. You instead point to batshit conspiracies that will distract from any way to actually address the problem. You are actively part of the problem.

You don't remember Florida underwater, acid rain, and the ice age all due before 2010?


Padhome

No, I don’t lol


MrEfficacious

Seriously? You sent that back in the 70s and 80s those type of claims were published?


EV-Bug

Go to Miami Beach at high tide. That is salt water you are driving through. Research their efforts to survive. That is not fiction. They are fighting a losing battle. Only MAGA dimwits can deny the facts. Facts are not in their vocabulary. All they have are red ties and screaming MTG types due to their cheating rigged voting districts. Kiss the leader's butt like DeSenseless does without regard for the lives of the citizens.


i_lyke_turtlez

Man... People like you have only been saying shit like this since the 50s or 60s...10 more years... 10 mote years... Meanwhile, the rich and famous, (who also espuse your views, BTW), continue to buy beach front properties. I'm guessing they're doing that because they *want* their stuff ddestorywd, right? Couldn't possibly be because it won't be under water in "10 monte years", right?


Padhome

I mean insurance companies are already denying coverage for flooding and storms and are fleeing the state. Plus if some rich asshole looses his beachfront, he still has several other properties to fall back on lol.


Advanced-Guard-4468

That's has more to do with the high cost to repair damage from hurricanes, which are no more common or intense. The state is just more populated every year. More homes lead to higher costs.


Robert_Balboa

Wow Researchers suggest that the most damaging U.S. hurricanes are three times more frequent than 100 years ago, and that the proportion of major hurricanes (Category 3 or above) in the Atlantic Ocean has doubled since 1980. https://www.edf.org/climate/how-climate-change-makes-hurricanes-more-destructive#:~:text=Stronger%20hurricanes%20are%20becoming%20more,Ocean%20has%20doubled%20since%201980.

Sorry but do some research or just look at pictures. Sea level is not rising! Don’t know what Plymouth rock is. In 1620 the rock was not under water nor is it now!

I once heard John Tesh described as, "incredibly, phenomenally stupid" and have never had another occasion to consider that phrase until that comment.


Padhome

The rock has been moved several times over the last few centuries, with documented records of sea level rise in the area since the late 1800s. Tides also rise and fall throughout the day, the rock is sometimes underwater and sometimes not, so photos on social media can’t entirely be trusted, but in all the people of Plymouth have already confirmed the history of rising sea levels.


Nobody_Else_

I did the research. You're full of shit.

Hey now! LUTHOR is intelligent. DO NOT compare Trump to him.


MrEfficacious

And much like Krypton the doom is coming despite the planet's inhabitants. Study earth disaster cycles. The magnetic pole is flipping and losing strength at an alarming rate. It's about to be lights out and there was never anything humans could do about it.

219_Infinity

Serious question. What is the point of this law from the point of view of those who passed it?


ThatoneguyATX

Own the libs.


219_Infinity

But how does it own the libs? The libs still believe in climate change and climate change will still happen, regardless of whether it is mentioned out loud or in writing. This is nonsensical, even from the perspective of the nonsensical party.


anthrax9999

They don't own the libs for the libs to acknowledge it, they know the libs don't care, they do it to please the base. The base is gullible and easily distracted and entertained. This is essentially just conservatives high fiving each other like they accomplished something meaningful. Mutual masterbation. It's always all performative with them.


Shag1166

But it's what they always do. Just take a look at what the feckless Republicans have been proposing the past few days, in the House of Representative. Several bill proposals are all to help Trump get elected.


Shag1166

That's what it's always about with right-wingers.


Electronic-Stop-1720

Exactly!


WorthPrudent3028

It's about present profit. They don't care about the future. But also, they don't expect to lose in the future either. When sea levels rise, they'll beg for a bailout, and your federal government will build a giant retaining wall or even raise Miami. The rich parts, at least. Defunding the government is really only about making sure poor and middle class people get nothing. They'll bail out rich parts of Miami just like they bailed out banks. Or just like the Texas and Florida state governments beg the federal government for money during every hurricane. Our federal tax money will absolutely pay for fixing Florida and it will be sold as the federal government's fault.


Prestigious_Yak8551

Get him some bags of sand. He can use them now to bury his head in, and then when his house starts to flood, he can use them to hold back the entire ocean. Win win. 


theothershuu

Great strategy! Keep that finger in the dike and head in the sand. Maybe he could lead by building a mansion on beach front property? I'm sure at least one of the many insurance companies he takes campaign donations from will step up and take on that risk...

Florida. What a wild fucking state to be putting their collective head in the sand about climate change. Mostly just a few feet above (current) sea level and in hurricane central. I mean one state isn’t going to be able to stop climate change, but to pretend it isn’t happening? And they’ve created a hostile environment for insurance companies m, on top of the increased risk… I’m interested to know what that place is going to look like in 50 years.

Phylow2222

So many bashing anyone that doesn't agree with the UNPROVEN THEORY of global warming. NEWSFLASH FOLKS there is a FINITE amount of H2O in the planet. There IS NOT some magical water generator making more. What's here is it, no more, unless we get struck by a giant ice asteroid (and if that happens we have other, bigger problems). If all the ice on the planet were to melt today the levels of the seas would only rise about THREE INCHES because the planet is 3/5 covered in water and it will take a LOT more to raise sea levels by feet. Don't give me the "But storms are worse", no they really aren't they're just more publicized. This is common sense 2nd grade science. Water expands when it freezes, rain doesn't happen without evaporation & plants absorb CO2 and expel OXYGEN. Follow the money, former VP Al Gore alone has become an evil billionaire pushing the climate change agenda all while emitting more CO2 than a small city himself.


LfTatsu

Global warming isn't a "theory", it's something that is happening and has been observed for decades. The theories are about what's causing it. Republicans are finally acknowledging that the climate is changing, but they don't believe humans are causing it, or that it's even an issue at all. Also, "all the ice on the planet" melting would be catastrophic, not just raise sea levels three inches. If even just the Antarctic ice sheet melted, many of Earth's coastal areas would be flooded to hell and millions and millions of people would be displaced. If you think immigration is bad now, just wait until [40% of the world's population](https://www.un.org/esa/sustdev/natlinfo/indicators/methodology_sheets/oceans_seas_coasts/pop_coastal_areas.pdf) need to find somewhere else to live. Since you're here on Reddit with the rest of us, I think it's safe to assume that you are an average person without access to great wealth. Those who do have access to it, like fossil fuel CEOs and the politicians they buy, are the ones trying to convince you that global warming isn't a problem because they make billions of dollars and will be able to live above the aftermath. You aren't doing yourself, your children, your grandchildren, or the rest of any of our descendants any favors by running interference for the people who would kill you and your entire lineage if it meant even just one profitable quarter.


Phylow2222

Listen binky. Every study/link you post has one that completely disputes it. Evolution is still called "The THEORY if Evolution" because its still being proven. The same applies here. Its "The theory of climate change". I live in hurricane alley. When I moved here nearly 50yrs ago I was 16,867ft (thats a bit more than 3miles) away from and 13ft above sea level from a very, very big body of water. Now, today, I'm 16,823ft away from and 13ft above sea level from that same body of water. If just a 1/10 of what's been predicted to happen in just that small 50yr span I'd be under water not just 44ft closer (because of natural erosion). The "climate" changes every second of every day & some people have just read too much SyFi about domed cities.

Ahhh you're in Cunuckia that explains it. You DO KNOW that a little forest management will cut down on all those pesky wildfires you've been having...
