Isn’t this a big deal for hurricanes also?
Hence all of the home owners insurance providers exiting Florida.
DeSantis and Scott’s governorships have really failed to prepare this state for what’s coming, but hey, what do you expect from a bunch of corrupt pieces of shit like them and the rest of the Florida GOP?
Home insurance is going to change in a crazy way over the next decade.
they’re trying to fix real estate losses from wfh stuff while also seeking to displace people from their strongest wealth asset
Or maybe just maybe it’s really dumb for a company to insure a house that is going to burn down or flood every single year going forward…
you’re talking specifically from the insurance company’s perspective.
the people running florida and likely others with wealth to influence them are aiming for more. the insurance leaving the state is part of that.
companies do not exist in a vacuum
Dumb state full of dumb people. Going to learn about climate change when every beach in the state is buried under 25 feet of seaweed for the next 1,000 years.
Wait, is this what DeSantis meant when he said “Florida is where woke goes to die”?
The water around the Keys is 90-92 degrees currently. I don’t know much about how ocean temps affect sea life but that seems very high.
and here we’ve been having the coolest summer of the century
So how do we get giant heat sinks in the water and harness the energy?
Heat’s too diffuse to be useful. Entropy 🙃
Seriously I’m dumb but wouldn’t it just be transfer of heat? I was joking btw but now I’m invested lol.
You need a temperature gradient to extract energy.
The water is still cooler than the atmosphere just less than usual.
It would be a few degrees warmer than deep ocean water, so you could maybe power one of those toy stirling engines with a heat sink near the surface and one deep down, but the amount of usable energy per m^2 would be milliwatts at best.
There is a temperature gradient from deep water to shallow, the sterling cycle is just not efficient enough to gain energy with a massive deep-shallow-deep heat pipe system.
I had to look it up, it’s dense and I have no idea how it works. I’m going back to art lol.
I see, thank you.
Really interested in how he will deal with the rising oceans and climate change and how he will blame it on the gays or something
My money is that he continues to just not acknowledge it while it continues to get worse

I’m not denying climate change. I was recently in Florida and it is, indeed, hot af.
The article is saying that there’s evidence that the heat is causing coral to die. They really don’t know the extent of the impact.
Vague article titles are just a pet peeve of mine. This whole article could have been summed up in less than 3 sentences.
Quote:
That would mean “significant and severe” bleaching will start in the next week and the coral could start to die altogether within a month, he said.
“It still remains to be seen if this event is going to be more or less severe than previous events,” Manzello said. “However, all of the evidence right now is pointing to the fact that it’s going to be one of the more severe events we’ve seen.”
I mean, the surface temperature at the Keys is 92 degrees. Thats like bathtub temperatures.
