its specially ironic since florida is a paved over swamp.
i bet it will be the first us state to be underwater because of climate change
It'll become the next Venice and Venice will become the next Atlantis
Fucking LOL.
The epitome of burying your head in the sand. If you don't talk about it, it must not be real! Delusional idiots.
This will really help the Home Insurance crisis
Let’s privatize hurricane and flood aid to them as a result. Maybe Disney will trickle down some of their wealth to the victims?
100%. Stop letting dumfukian states come begging the fed for aid then pissing all over the hand that feeds AND the problem. Tie aid packages to requirements to get with the program, sending them a bill in 2 years (or whatever)with interest if they don't.
What wealth? Disney is on course to go off a cliff
In an ironic twist, the only current mention of climate change in Florida law is a non-binding resolution declaring climate change is a woke conspiracy.
The Atlantic Ocean could remove the majority of land area of Florida from American coastlines.
“Why do we have category 6 hurricanes now?”
Thanks, Obama.
The woke mob /s
That's just conspiracy therory hot air. /s
The irony of one of the firsts casualties of catastrophic global warming wants to deny it’s going to happen.
lol rights disappearing faster than the florida coastline.
Should the denial of federal funding for the inevitable sea wall be hundreds of pages of redacted text? It's a conundrum.
Florida will just issue a restraining order on the Atlantiv Ocean.
Ostriches.
They now proudly refuse vaccines to die of COVID, oppose legislation that would benefit them, and now Florida Republicans evidently want to live underwater. Destroying themselves is so hot right now on the right.
It's like a kid throwing a fit when their parents make them eat some vegetables and threatening to hold their breath until they pass out.
I fucking hate living in this damned state. A state of hicks and psycho narcissists. All governed by a high heeled fascist fucktard. Go ahead and pretend climate change isn't a thing to please your hicks. This coming summer is going to be a whole lot of egg beaten into all of our godamn faces.
Fuck you Florida.
Hahaha 🤣 so when (not if) they sink under the waves, we can attribute it to god.
Meaning you musta did something to piss god off.
Meaning fuck you Florida GOP.
Feckers will be under water soon enough.
So, if the coastal cities build everything watertight right now, the state of Florida can become Rapture
Nah, Rapture banned Christianity
Once they realize Christianity isn't actually compatible with their hate train rhetoric, they'll shed it off too in the name of Freedome
It isn't compatible? Because as far as I can tell historically and in text it works fine with fascism
"Return evil for evil to no one"
"Love your neighbor as yourself"
"Love your enemies and those persecuting you"
etc.
people cherry pick Jesus driving out the merchants from the temple as an excuse to go on a full on jihad with everything they don't like, ignoring everything else he said and did.
Republicans very much will kick away religion if it helps them stay in power.
"And those enemies of mine slay them and heap them at my feet"
They think they can just wash it away huh?
The irony.
If you don't test for it, it doesn't exist.
Florida Man at it again.
One wonders if Florida will ever see the end of men lining up to do the stupidest shit.
In due time. Florida is running under the assumption that the climate gives a shit what they say
Realistically it’s probably more like “rile up the base and the consequences don’t really hit until after my term of office is up”
Florida really is the “hold my beer” state.
That's okay. A lot of it will be underwater anyway.
“Sorry, this relief money is tied to climate change, you don’t have that here.”
Don't look up.
Have fun with your hurricanes!
Freedom! This will help rising Insurance Rates brought on by NOT Climate Change!
They should start putting up the sea barriers along the border Georgia now
The Georgia Dykestones.
Florida is a shit hole, we should physically chop it off from the NA continent and float it out to sea. Bye Felicia.
Soo... What if we just replaced the term "climate change" with hurricanium?
I would be behind that, just because it would be funny to read.
