    if all the icecaps and glaciers melt, which they currently are, Florida is going the way of Atlantis. Never mind making liberal heads explode or throwing marginalized outgroup profiles in prison for fun and profit; you’d think sheer simple self-preservation would mean something.

      The mouth breathers either don’t believe in global warming, or don’t care because they figure they’ll be dead by the time the bill comes due. Basically the classic conservative take of “fuck you, I got mine”.

        I don’t get people who think like that. Don’t they have kids, grandkids? They might not have to suffer the consequences, but their descendants do.

      but atlantis can survive underwater, and can fly to another galaxy. florida is going to become a seafloor soon, if not the various invasive species taking over florida. Plus the MOUSE is whats keeping florida upfloat, both directly and indirectly.
