I mean, I live there and the average costal Floridian in my area is completely deaf to the risks and what’s coming with climate change. The whole thing is a raging party on the Timucua native burial grounds. I watched dozens of new million dollar houses built in obvious flood zones over the past few years near me. They are all waist deep in floodwater. It’s not an “I told you so” moment at all. It’s like the inevitability of rain coming right on schedule.
Everyone kept asking me when I was going to buy a house and telling me how much money I was going to make on the appreciation and it was all so preposterous, like a bitcoin moon fantasy. In all likelihood, within my lifetime my part of Florida will return to the sea from whence it came. I have always seen the floodwaters because they have always been there. Now everyone else can see them too.
