Yeah, there are a lot of crazies, but there are also a lot of vacation property owners, tennis players, golfers, etc. and saying, truthfully, that no one will be able to do anything outside again, even with sunscreen, nobody will come rent your properties in Florida to go to the beach again, and the solution doesn't cost anything, it should pass.

And yet those same people out right deny that climate change, and its accompanying sea level rise, is a myth. You'd think the wealthy property owners and governor of a state where it's most valuable economic sectors are on the coast and a mere 10 feet or less above sea level would behave more rationally about the preventable danger that has been predicted for decades, but alas. I guess they're banking on selling their five million dollar beach home to Aquaman. https://pubs.usgs.gov/sim/3047/ https://pubs.usgs.gov/sim/3047/

  You probably meant to write that differently. Denying that something "isn't a myth" is affirming that it is a myth.

How does the Big Hat lobby fit into this?

That's silly, the ozone hole goes from high latitudes to low, and was bigger in the southern hemisphere. Therefore was going to affect Florida well after it affected most other places. OTOH Florida is full of people who deny global warming. Even though Florida actually is ground zero for coral bleaching, increased strength of hurricanes, and sea level rise. People act on what they connect with for whatever combination of reasons. This seldom matches what they logically SHOULD connect with.
