That won’t happen though because global warming is a myth, and the earth is 6K years old and static.
Wait, why is my house floating away? Why didn’t anyone warn us?!
Please ocean, stop taking our towns /s
There’s only one thing to do…
BOMB THE OCEAN INTO SUBMISSION!
It will regret the day it messed with FREEDOM!
That’s not an opinion, that’s a question
Technically some houses can be moved or stilted, but they need a place to move them to. The government subsidizes flood insurance and they’ll keep paying over and over again instead of just making people move somewhere else.
Hey remember hurricane Katrina?
Remember how people said that they should have fixed the wall cause they were warned?
I got a feeling that cons are just gonna tell Floridans that they should have moved beforehand.
Sell them to who, Ben? Fucking Aquaman!?
I’m so glad I found this quote here. Was also thinking of it
Only for the millionaires settlements. All the rest can pay for themselves.
Yeah, the rich will make sure their real estate losses are taken on by society and many will literally profit when one of their homes fall into the sea.
This unfortunately is not a case with much high quality schadenfreude since yet again the rich have made stupid selfish choices and will refuse to face the consequences.
Lmao. New to the US?
No, they are gonna take proper care of them like in Flint, MI.
We’ll simply so what every other human has done when faced with crisis or climate change. We’ll move and adapt, some will die, some will live. It will suck, and it’s sucked before, but we’ll survive, perhaps even thrive.
Comments I’ve gathered on lemmy:
“I’d rather just die.”
“I’ll kill myself before I have to suffer.”
“Stop having kids you’re condemning to eternal torment.”
OK, you’ve failed at evolution. Nothing wrong with that! But the better adapted will live on, as always.
Lemmy: FUCK YOU!
Weird seeing an entire generation just say, “Fuck it. I’ll lie down and die. The capitalists and billionaires killed me.”
LOL yeah.
According to Ben Shapiro, people will just sell their homes and move inland. 🤦 Never let Ben forget this fact.
I feel really stupid in that I read that and thought, “I mean, that makes sense…ohhh wait no it doesn’t.”
Aquaman is really into distressed property I hear.
They’ll probably bail out Houston; unfortunately
s/bail out/bale out/
Yes, and thus shall begin the mass migrations of homeless, hungry and desperate people with nothing to lose.
It began years ago, haven’t you heard of the migrants caravans from south/middle americas?
Unsurprising that this is such a trope of near-future science fiction.
Not near-future science fiction alone, every time of sci-fi but the true far-future science fiction seems to be able to discuss this (if we take near-future to mean within decades), think for example of 2312 or the Mars Trilogy by Kim Stanley Robinson.
When amoc or Thwaites collapses it isn’t like we are going to have a choice. (The choice has already been made by not radically reducing greenhouse gas emissions)
