When the hazards damage analyst says this about your state, don’t you think maybe you should consider moving?
Were a big hurricane to slam Miami or Tampa Bay, the damage would easily reach $100 billion, said Charles Watson, a hazards damage analyst.
“The bottom line in Florida, the polite way I can put it is: You’re doomed,” he said.
Frankly, hurricanes are less of a worry than seawater. Unless they want to turn it into an aquarium, southern Florida is most definitely doomed. A couple of Republicans are actually willing to contemplate this fact, but it’s too late anyway and it hardly has any impact on the GOP as a whole:
Curbelo, a Hialeah native, says he doesn’t view climate change as an ideological question, of conservative versus liberal, but rather a “real issue that demands real solutions.”
“I actually believe that more people agree with me in my party than they’d like to admit,” [Representative Carlos] Curbelo [R-Miami] says. “Unfortunately it’s become part of the political game.”
I mean, which game is that? Is that the game where the Democrats listen to scientists and the Republicans take money from ExxonMobil and accuse the rest of us of being religious cultists?
