It’s getting hot down there

It sounds like we’re way behind with our understanding of where climate change is at. The oceans are out of sight, out of mind but the die offs and migrations happening there are coming to land and probably already here. It just hasn’t affected us that much yet.

The people that aren't behind with their understanding of where climate is at say that Greenland's glaciers are melting at or faster than their worst case scenario. I may yet live to see houndawg hill become prime coastal property..

This season’s fires have burned an area the size of Japan.

They have giant columns of fire with fricking lightning coming out of them

My heating bill is on pace for the lowest cost in the 5 full winters in this house.

Sharks with lasers accidentally started those fires.

Be worth it just for Texas, everything else would be a bonus

We need enough to drown the South.

And LA, Seattle, SF, NY, Miami, New Orleans.....the list goes on and on.

My elevation is 300 ft, so I won't care.

13' per Wikipedia. The town flourished from shipbuilding.

Learn your Slower Delaware history or I'll be forced to send you back upstate.

LA - most of it is well above 15' - downtown is 250'+
Seattle - yeah, some of the waterfront, but most is well above
Same with SF and the hills.
NYC - most is 30' or more above sea level, plus the wealth to make sea barriers economically feasible

Of course, all that climate change would crash the economy and the markets.

Absolutely. We'd get rid of half of the South.

The bluest parts of the South too...Miami, Charleston, Savannah, New Orleans, Houston, etc.

BONUS: Virtually all of Washington D.C.

I love how an off the cuff comment by AZ warrants everyone coming out of the woodwork to tell him they would be safe with 10 feet of water.
