I'm in full agreement, but that idea isn't popular here, where I find folks a bit fatalistic. I understand why of course, assuming 'someone will solve it' takes the urgency out of the problem. We do need to take action, absolutely. But am I worried about sea level rise here in Florida? Not at all. There's just too much money at stake to throw our hands up and run. And I don't mean just here, or even the US... most of the world's wealth is on the coast.
- keanzu 7y agoA third of the country will be underwater sounds a lot more scary than we'll have to build some small walls, about 1ft per decade, in some areas. About one third of the Netherlands lies below sea level, with the lowest point being 22 feet (6.7 meters) below sea level. Doesn't make for much of a post-apocalyptic visual - act now or end up like the Netherlands.
