Well yeah, your state has pretty much become synonymous with the worst aspects of MAGAism.

I wonder how many of these houses are gonna be underwater in 50 years, too

Fortunately, NOAA has just the tool to answer this question!

Yeah... Going to do my own research on that, thanks.

You know, you might be on to something.

A Google search is surely more valuable than an agency paid billions to study this stuff with the best trained people on its payroll.

I bet Google might even tell us we could blot out the sun with our thumbs, and that would end climate change!

I'm disappointed that I would have needed to put /s after my comment, was hoping since it was the idiotic catchphrase of people during covid who never were going to do any research it would have been pretty clear.

Sign of the times I guess.

I too am disappointed I didn’t see it for what it was. :(

Well, if Trump gets elected and gets the power he wants over government agencies, we will need to start ignoring NOAA when he forces them to say "no such thing as climate change".

There are houses, at the bottom of the ocean.

Who lives in a shack under the sea?! Florida man and his wife Cathy!

There are already sections of Florida with subdivisions that were planned, had roads made, and are underwater now. You can take a look at some on Google maps, just look at the coast near southern Miami. Not the satellite view, you'll be seeing other land structures meant for erosion and flood control, but looking at the regular map view you'll be able to see some areas with unnamed roads that were never developed further.
