Not defending the idea itself but I just don’t see how climate change is relevant here. If the rest of Florida is also underwater, what does it matter how protected the island is? They would be in the “same boat” as other Floridians and they would be in the same position if they were homeless in Miami.
- CatWChainsaw 4y agoLong-term, same boat. Short-term, when it's just a few islands here and there literally losing ground, I don't anticipate a lot of urgency over saving Homeless People Island. I anticipate that if this plan goes through, and if the island is threatened by sea rise before Miami, there will be incidents. The people living on the island will obviously want to leave a disappearing island, but there'd be no place for them on the mainland, and confrontations result.
