This is your fault NBC2’s fault, for refusing to give up their use of fossil fueled vehicles to gather the news, and all the electricity used to broadcast the news
Rising seas threaten Florida, and there’s little action from Rick Scott or Tallahassee
One out of 10 Florida homes could be subject to almost daily flooding by the end of the century, according to a new report by The Union of Concerned Scientists.
The culprit is rising sea levels resulting from climate change.
The report suggests Florida stands to be affected more than any other state.
Predictions by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration show up to 6.5 feet of sea level rise by 2100.
An increase of that magnitude would cost billions of dollars to the state and local governments in lost property values.
Yet, surprisingly, people keep buying homes at the beach, including climate change big wigs.
But, really, this avoids actual data. Here’s Naples, which NBC2 covers
That’s a whole lot less than 6.5 feet in the next 82 years, eh? And the rest of the Florida stations are similar. I wonder why the Credentialed Media never offers any actual readings? Key West goes back to 1913, and shows .79 feet per 100 years. Inconvenient.
