I don't think anyone can honestly debate that the glaciers and ice caps are not melting and the sea level is getting higher (well there is ONE person who will). Say what you want..those pictures of the polar ice cap and Glacier National Park don't lie. Florida will be the hardest hit state from this. Geography doesn't lie either. Four days before hurricane Ian changed course and headed south the villages was staring down the barrel of a category four hurricane. The following question… Before we get to 2100 insurance companies WILL act. Will Florida be the first state you cannot get insurance in?

1 million Florida buildings will be overrun by sea-level rise by 2100, study shows

For starters, anyone who is concerned has 75 years to make up their mind if they want to move. Second, why worry about it? We’ll all be dead by then.

FINALLY, the value of Key West property should start going down.

Would you say that to your grandchildren?

The Villages will be the new Key West in 2100 and probably have 210, 000 people or more.

I'm confused. Insurance companies don't pay for damage caused by flooding. The Government operates a national flood insurance program for that. So, how does rising ocean water affect insurance companies?

I read that it is supposed to be getting cold again to fit the 100,000 year cycle around 2300.

…key words…. “Study shows”. I’m a skeptic. Who funded the study. Who took part. Is there a hidden incentive. Is the data substantiated.

I could go on but won’t.

The earth changes over the millennium. Of course we should all take better care of it. But we cannot bankrupt OUR country. Especially when so many other countries do nothing but make climate et al worse. No names but China… whoops.

The sky is NOT falling people.

I don't have specific answers to your questions, but I'll bet you a dollar that the U.S. taxpayers funded some, if not all, of the study. And, there is definitely an incentive for publishing a study that validates climate change. It ensures that they will get additional money for future studies. There is big money in climate change studies.
