Reply to comment by giddy-girly-banana in People are leaving Mass. Thoughts? by Original_Musician103

like they've got 50 years! Florida is doomed and its voters are just letting it sink. The latest studies I've seen predict coastal areas in FL underwater by 2040. Most Floridians don't realize their government has plans for this...it's not a "might happen" but a "how soon."

Hopefully some of the wildlife will outlive the human population. There's a ton of biodiversity down there when you remove the icky humans.

I was being too generous I guess. I’m not worried about nature. It will survive. I am worried about all the Florida climate refugees moving and bringing their stupidity and hate along with them.

I doubt they can afford it, and really feel for the non-stupid who are trapped. I really think most folks aren't bright to understand what will likely happen, but that's always been an unfortunate thing. All we can do is help those who are willing to be helped and willing to behave decently enough to be helped.

In short: gators and cool people come north, everyone else stay down with the mosquitos and bigotry.
