Florida is going to be so screwed by climate change. The highest point in the entire state is 345 feet. There are places in California not even 345 feet horizontally from the ocean higher than that. Marin headlands near the Golden Gate is one such place.

Yeah cuz no country has ever figured out how to house millions below sea level despite the threat of powerful storms with 100mph winds that can last for days, creating immense tidal surges...before the advent of modern technology...nah, that's never happened.  

Florida is all above sea level and the jury on ocean rise is more than still out.  The predictions range from almost nothing to massive rises based on temp forecasts which are an exaggerated logarithmic function of CO2 values which is all based on the assumption that CO2 will keep rising.  For all the worshipping the gcms get, that's literally all they are.  Sulfate aerosols cause giantly exaggerated dips in temp in the models not observed irl...in order to exaggerate co2 warming.

Jfenny Penny doesn't scream "the sky is falling!" He screams "the floor is rising!"

Geesh. Obviously not all of Florida will be under water, but I think it's pretty well accepted that with current trends there'll be a rise of a least a couple of feet, possibly a lot more, over the next century.
