Sea Rise Could Force Millions In Florida To Adapt Or Flee (miamiherald.com)
mdsolar writes: For the first time, a team of researchers looked at ongoing population growth in areas where the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has created flood maps that more accurately reflect local conditions. What they found was startling: projections that failed to factor in population growth in dense states like Florida hugely underestimated the number of people at risk and the cost of protecting them. Combined with the findings from a 2015 report, that means Florida can claim two titles: most property at risk, and now, most people.
Did you miss the part about how you can't build walls? How are you going to pump water away when there's no wall?
You can't build a wall because the reason these idiots live there is because of the view. They're not going to allow a wall to be built. And they Floridians: they don't believe in the sea levels rising, no matter how much evidence you show them, even if water is in their houses.
You Europeans seem to find it impossible to grasp just how stupid a lot of us Americans are. Here's a clue: go read your own history books about how Europeans were back when they were burning people at the stake for believing the "wrong" theology. That's similar to the mentality of about half of America's population today. And Florida has an especially high concentration of them.
