Let’s be abundantly clear...

Global warming isn’t a red state vs blue state issue. It isn’t just an NY or Florida issue. It’s gonna effect all of us, due to the crappy infrastructure we have nationwide. It’s gonna be scary times on the Eastcoast.

Everyone minimizes global warming to just a Florida/Miami issue and they try to politicize it because DeSantis is governor(shytty governor, I don’t deny that) but at the same time, all these low lying coastal cities on the Eastcoast have crappy infrastructure, and even in blue states, the politicians have largely ignored the warning signs and haven’t done much to boost the infrastructure in these states. Florida will go under first. Then, the rest. And the Piedmont cities aren’t safe either. Atlanta and Charlotte will see more violent storms in the future, because the buffer that Florida once provided will be gone. And they’ll be nothing but warm ocean water for those storms to travel over on their way to the inland cities.

We have a global pandemic killing millions and people won't even take a shot. You expect them to put in work for climate change?

I've noticed watching news in Europe, damn near everyday it's something about global warming or a commercial that mentions it. Here in America, 3 out of 5 commercials is pushing some kinda medication

Please talk with your doctor about prescribing Zyrtec

I agree with the premise of your thread.

Of all the ramifications of climate change I fear most it is food insecurity and all the potential social/civil unrest that will ensue as a result. This is a global issue and it will finally start to feel that way when hundreds of millions of refugees are fleeing famines and war all simultaneously. What do think is going to happen when a country like Pakistan is no longer a viable place to live and their government collapses? What happens with their nukes?
What's going to happen to the nuclear facilities (many of which that reside near water) become overrun by rising sea levels?
Whats going to happen when heatwaves become regularly occurring mass casualty events?
Whats going to happen when much richer nations struggle to maintain hordes of desperate climate refugees?


These are questions no one is asking


You're right that the US needs better infrastructure to prepare for more severe weather but its also just the tip of the iceburg. A global effort to dramtically reduce emissions, restructure our economic system, develop carbon capture and solar radiation management tech, and assist poorer developing nations needs to be pursued ASAP. I know that it is highly unlikely but if this doesn't happen, we're DONE.
