    Yes you can deny the science all you want but you know who won’t? The insurance companies. When no one will insure houses in FL I’m sure the GOP will rush to the rescue.

      Also, notably, the Pentagon (US DoD), which has been making plans for preparing or moving facilities (especially navy bases) for rising sea levels and other climate change effects for at least 2 decades.

      When I learned about that it made perfect sense, because long-term projections and planning is what they do, and I realized that everyone who denied the climate change evidence was an ignorant fool. If DoD is doing prep work for it then there’s more than just evidence of occurrence, there’s enough practical data to do serious planning with.

      Desantis expanded Florida’s State flood insurance, actually.

      Don’t give him too much credit tho, he was forced too because every insurance provider for over half the state bailed, so he had too.

      It’s also shitty insurance, from what I’ve read and filing a claim will most likely be worse than diy dental surgery. It will almost definitely be worse than Florida’s unemployment webpage, which is decidedly hostile, with obfuscated links, built-in and artificial long load times, and designed to be as unappealing as possible.

      GOP “help” . With friends like these; who needs enemies, right?
