Florida Is Drowning. Condos Are Still Being Built
- PaulHoule 8y agoIronic that the Union of Concerned Scientists (cited in that article) has relentlessly opposed the largest and most scaleable source of carbon-free energy. Also the bit about how coastal Floridians don't take "carbon friendly" steps to protect themselves such as not buying SUVs runs into one of those free-rider problems which right-wing economists are so concerned about. Roughly, my own actions are not sufficient to improve the climate I live in, I have to motivate everybody else to make changes. Also if you actually try to buy a small car at a car dealership in the U.S. in 2019 you might find they don't have any in stock. Seems like the factory that makes Honda Fit(s) gets flooded, but there are always lots of CR-Vs on sale.
