The state is spending big on adapting to floods and rising seas, but Republicans don't want to name the cause.

        As I understand it, insurance providers are already leaving and their role is now done by basically a government run socialized insurance.

          I’m honestly baffled Disney hasn’t just… up and left. They could literally buy the entirety of bumfuck, middle of nowhere, and stick disneyworld there. The loss of tax revenue bought in by tourists would have to be a serious hammer to wield against Florida

          Beyond Disney (and universal?) It’s just… beaches, boomers, and golf?

            Knowing Disney I wouldn’t put it past them already scouting out regions. Takes a while to find enough land that can host all of what they need to run the park.

      No. Climate change is going to drown Florida. That’s a completely different thing.

Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.

As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades: Graph of temperature as observed with significant warming, and simulated without added greenhouse gases and other anthropogentic changes, which shows no significant warming

How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world: IPCC AR6 Figure 2 - Thee bar charts: first chart: how much each gas has warmed the world.  About 1C of total warming.  Second chart:  about 1.5C of total warming from well-mixed greenhouse gases, offset by 0.4C of cooling from aerosols and negligible influence from changes to solar output, volcanoes, and internal variability.  Third chart: about 1.25C of warming from CO2, 0.5C from methane, and a bunch more in small quantities from other gases.  About 0.5C of cooling with large error bars from SO2.

Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:

Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.
