According to Ben Shapiro, people will just sell their homes and move inland. 🤦 Never let Ben forget this fact.
Aquaman is really into distressed property I hear.
I feel really stupid in that I read that and thought, “I mean, that makes sense…ohhh wait no it doesn’t.”
Congrats, you have exhibited more critical thinking than Ben has ever done in his entire life. Great start to the year for you :)
Hey remember hurricane Katrina?
Remember how people said that they should have fixed the wall cause they were warned?
I got a feeling that cons are just gonna tell Floridans that they should have moved beforehand.
Sell them to who, Ben? Fucking Aquaman!?
I’m so glad I found this quote here. Was also thinking of it
That won’t happen though because global warming is a myth, and the earth is 6K years old and static.
Wait, why is my house floating away? Why didn’t anyone warn us?!
Yes.
Those towns can pull themselves up by their bootstraps. Not your mama.
That’s not an opinion, that’s a question
Please ocean, stop taking our towns /s
Technically some houses can be moved or stilted, but they need a place to move them to. The government subsidizes flood insurance and they’ll keep paying over and over again instead of just making people move somewhere else.
When amoc or Thwaites collapses it isn’t like we are going to have a choice. (The choice has already been made by not radically reducing greenhouse gas emissions)
Yes, and thus shall begin the mass migrations of homeless, hungry and desperate people with nothing to lose.
It began years ago, haven’t you heard of the migrants caravans from south/middle americas?
That’s nothing compared to the population of all the coastal cities.
Unsurprising that this is such a trope of near-future science fiction.
Not near-future science fiction alone, every time of sci-fi but the true far-future science fiction seems to be able to discuss this (if we take near-future to mean within decades), think for example of 2312 or the Mars Trilogy by Kim Stanley Robinson.
Yes.
