That glacier is the approximate size of Florida and can cause up to a 1.6 meter rise of the ocean level, which in turn directly threatens other glaciers that represent another 3 meter rise of ocean levels. So about twelve feet of ocean rise. That’s not good.

So will this wash all the crazy's in Florida off of the map?

Well I sure as hell don't want my tax dollars going to help the displaced. They chose to live there and knew the risks!

Nah it’s gonna push em up north. Fuck that shit. Theres really good reasons beyond the obvious why all these GOP guys all pass bills or send memos saying “don’t talk about this or that or teach this or that”…. And then all leave and seek out of state office as fast as they can…. Like Rick Scott for example had a gag order on talking about climate change by state agencies… wonder why. Furthermore wonder why insurance won’t even bother covering people in Florida anymore? Yeah there’s other big reasons too… but they’re all hedging bets the politicians and the insurance because they know damn well half the revenue generating locations in the state are going to be underwater or unlivable within a decade. It doesn’t look as bad as you might think on the sea level rise interactive map but when you take into account where is actually livable and where most people currently are living it’s scary as shit.

Nobody is ready for what’s coming and it’s coming much faster than people expect… and I guarantee you lots of big insurance companies have really well done mathematical predictions that would frighten people but they keep that kind of knowledge a secret because it’s how they make money. we’ve already surrendered 1.5 degrees folks.

Oh also I checked… dipshit Orange man country club doesn’t look like it gets swamped right away…. And that’s just sad considering how much that family helped hasten this.

No, they'll flee and raise real estate prices in higher ground cities and states across America. We need to build a wall.

Well, no. People will be moving in land. Infrastructure will need to change, and you still need to eat.

Long pig migration might be the solution AND the problem

I for one welcome the long pig migration with open arms. Time to expand the smokehouse.

I'm sure this is a joke.

But, knowing there are people this selfish out there who don't care about anyone other than themselves, in this exact moment in time is bewildering

There’s a community in Louisiana called Money Hill who promotes being 150ft above sea level in all of their marketing. Even the community map has it listed top center.

Right, because water pollution doesn't spread.
