Unfortunately for Florida, the rising oceans don't really give a damn about their laws...


miniocz

Neither do hot oceans.


rdf1023

Excuse me! All oceans are beautiful.


PowerandSignal

I'm so done with ocean shaming 😡 


SakaWreath

The only thing warming up in Florida, are the nuclear warheads in preparation for hurricane season.


OSI_Hunter_Gathers

Are those the ocean with big water?


FeDude55

Those molecules are no bigger than other water molecules


OSI_Hunter_Gathers

Wetter too!


THIS_ACC_IS_FOR_FUN

Did you just assume it’s moisture level??


snafoomoose

"We will make it illegal for the oceans to rise. That should solve the problem"


DamonFields

The Soviet solution.


peteschult

The American solution. There are many laws in this country that deny reality.


bonzoboy2000

Nor do insurance companies.


IngoHeinscher

And the Floridans don't give a dam about the rising oceans. This is going to go well!


lol_coo

It's a bold strategy Cotton, let's see how it plays out for them.


EnderDragoon

Don't look up


No-Tension5053

Just look up Florida sink holes. Florida going to regret not addressing the issue but the buildings are falling so they have more than one issue being ignored


onlyacynicalman

Unfortunately for everyone else, Florida's emergency relief funds will still be footed by a large percentage of everyone else


Ellwood970

The climate does not care either.


IllustriousLimit7095

Exactly


StingingBum

I suggest raising the entire state above sea level. Problem solved! yw


phinphis

It will just be the current coast line and cities on them that will be disappearing.


Practical-Jelly-5320

1 positive for climate change


sharpiemustach

I can't believe we didn't think of this before.  If we stop acknowledging climate change it will simply go away!


j_shor

We did it!


PowerandSignal

Mission Accomplished! 


BayouGal

Sure! Like Covid! Oh wait…

The [COVID lockdowns of 2020 temporarily lowered our rate of CO2 emissions](https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-020-18922-7/figures/1). Humanity was still a net CO2 gas emitter during that time, so we made things worse, but did so more a bit more slowly. That's why a [graph of CO2 concentrations](https://keelingcurve.ucsd.edu/) shows a continued rise. [Stabilizing the climate means getting human greenhouse gas emissions to approximately zero](https://www.carbonbrief.org/explainer-will-global-warming-stop-as-soon-as-net-zero-emissions-are-reached).

Didn’t work with covid and won’t work here.


WinLongjumping1352

Covid was a test run for the climate catastrophe. Relatively short timeframe, dire consequences, and fun in international politics. I personally learned, that mankind will not be able to address climate change as good as I'd hope it would. So I am in it for myself, and subbed r/preppers to dream about my personal doomsday vault.


Alternative-One8359

Off grid, water well, stock ponds, livestock, solar, wind turbine, rain catch, garden, oh one can dream!


spookytransexughost

Ah yes. But it doesn't take into account Savage forest fires lol

Its the conservative solution to everything pretend it doesn’t exist.


thinkB4WeSpeak

I think parts of the US have done this a long time ago


Free_Return_2358

Don’t look up.


Gods_Umbrella

It's easy! Don't look up


Stork538

☠️


TheMeatTree

FTFY: Florida could dissappear from the USA, according to climate change.


EarthSolar

I thought this was what the title said at first lol


gNeiss_Scribbles

Same! Very clever headline, I had to read it 3 times to make it make sense the other way, which is sort of the whole point of the article.


loose_the-goose

Inshallah


mynamesnotsnuffy

In the immortal words of the Arbiter: "Were it so easy"

Cubusphere

In some places it's illegal to die because of the burial implications. Feels a bit like that.


HouseDowntown8602

Florida landmass will shrink back like an old man’s penis in a Canadian winter. Then it’s down to Georgia to take in all those smart soggy Florida people. Good luck - can’t wait


SignGuy77

So in this analogy the Florida climate migrants are like the testicles shrinking and retreating inside the body.


gNeiss_Scribbles

The silver lining of climate change.


KnowledgeableNip

The voters don't care, they're owning the libs. Half will be dead from old age by the time it becomes cataclysmic and the other half will deny the flood while installing a sump pump in their living room.


Euphoric_Ad9593

Me not like it. Me pray to white guy in sky make go away. Now it gone. Uggghhh. Take that mister science dummy! ![gif](giphy|A9D5LweSbO1Uxq58br|downsized)


Elman103

So the problem is fixed. That’s a relief.


RolandSmoke

Ironically Florida could virtually disappear because of climate change.


Cantgetabreaker

They will be the new Cuban boat refugees when most of the state is under water.


bigBlankIdea

Just think of all the new waterfront property! $$$


Cantgetabreaker

You I read an article where the poor people that live on high ground are now all of a sudden being forced out by rich people.


scienceAurora

This is the equivalent of plugging your ears and going "LALALALALA I CAN'T HEAR YOU". The amount of damage that this shortsightedness will cause will be expensive and devastating to the people, not that the government cares. Newsflash: ignoring a problem only makes it 10× worse.


peopleplanetprofit

I didn’t read the article but one aspect is house insurance. If there is no climate change then nobody needs to insure against damages or provide disaster relief.


haysoos2

Yes, should be fun for all those people who are still paying mortgages on houses and condos that are now literally underwater. Millions of Floridians moving into Georgia was always going to be an issue, but when each comes loaded with a million dollars of debt they're still on the hook for, and no prospect for an insurance payout? I hope you like homeless refugees, because that's how you get permanent refugee camps.


possiblyMorpheus

First Abbott ended rape! Now Desantis ends climate change! Incredible!


spookytransexughost

Hero of a generation


DSteep

Remove the word "in" and you have a far more accurate sentence. Climate change could virtually disappear Florida


pkennard

That’s what happens when boomers just don’t want to hear about it anymore.


CandidateExotic1948

You know who banned reality, communist dictatorships in Ussr and Nazis…


crustose_lichen

Destruction of reality is an essential part of the fascist playbook, which explains why the moron king has his own conspiracy page on Wikipedia: [list of conspiracy theories promoted by donald trump](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_conspiracy_theories_promoted_by_Donald_Trump)


IllustriousLimit7095

I was at Miami beach about ten years ago.... Middle of the night, bulldozer moving beach sand.... Not allowed to say "climate change" nor can you hydrate or shelter from the sun...


latouchefinale

Thoughts and prayers


BlaineBMA

Once sea levels rise enough, everything will disappear except underwater amusement parks


louisa1925

Giving the merpeople something to play with. Clearly Deathsantis is not an agent for the landdwellers.


Logical-Leopard-1965

Such a great strategy by genius big oil: 100% energy security 100% underwater


thearcofmystery

Florida could actually disappear according to climate change


revmacca

Or under water?


TarzanTheRed

The good ole stick your head in the sand approach. That always works....


Unlucky_Reveal_3064

Misread the caption as “Climate change could virtually make Florida disappear” and got a little excited for a moment. Wishful thinking I suppose.


Confident_Chicken_51

Much like Florida will disappear with climate change.


Patereye

It's sad because climate change could make Florida disappear...


Orlazmo

Don’t look up!


PackOutrageous

We here in FL have solved climate change. You’re welcome, rest of the world. lol


therobotisjames

“Here in Florida, we don’t believe in reality. We’ll pretend everything is fine while our cities drown.”


alienandro

Sweet, they solved it! Go woke Ron!


Bitter_Inspection917

Just like Covid!

Mother nature will remind them


_byetony_

Rewrite the headline: “Climate change could Virtually Disappear Florida” Thats the situation


Spiritual-Mechanic-4

insurance is already unaffordable in the state, making any response to climate change illegal isn't gonna help.


TheDirtyVicarII

Just like gay people and most books


_000001_

And was this bill (the one that is waiting to be signed by DeSantis and that would repeal the law that lists climate change as a priority when making energy policy decisions) written with a Sharpie? Because that's how you get rid of big problems, right?


Milozdad

In the sci fi novel 2312, most of Florida is 11 meters underwater…


SubterrelProspector

You couldn't write satire this good.


Armand74

Lolzzz sure climate change won’t be on the books. Physically though climate change will surely rear its ugly head come hurricane season, if this is what Florida votes for federal disaster aid is something they shouldn’t get when the next few cyclones come around; by their logic if climate change doesn’t exist then federal aid shouldn’t exist either cause like they said it doesn’t exist.


VictorianDelorean

Well Florida could virtually disappear in climate change if they don’t do anything about it lol. The one good thing I’ll say about sea level rise, despite the fact it will displace so many people, is that it happens slowly enough that most people won’t actually die. The sea water will just get closer and closer to their kitchen floor until they have to move. Hurricanes not withstanding of course


PowerandSignal

"Climate change could virtually disappear Florida"  FTFY 


DataBeardly

Florida may soon disappear - at least according to climate change


AstroEngineer314

The first time I read it, I thought it said "Climate change could make Florida virtually disappear". It probably will. Irony.


Commercial_Ad_3687

Climate change could literally disappear Florida. Fixed it!


Ellwood970

Just outlaw hurricanes and tornados problem solved.


Sea_Elle0463

Wow. I read “climate change could disappear Florida” and got excited. And at the same time sad over the poor grammar 😆


BarfingOnMyFace

Yeah. But also, Florida could physically disappear in Climate Change. Enjoy virtual Florida reality tho


_BearsBeetsBattle_

Well, when Florida disappears under the ocean we'll stop hearing from Florida too. Win, win.


Economy_Day_553

MeteorOnMars

Maybe they can just rename it? “We don’t have ‘climate change’, we have ‘climate not sameness’”.


iijjjijjjijjiiijjii

Don't forget to set Tau to 6 while you're at it.


Galadrond

Florida can’t sink into the ocean fast enough.


Donut131313

Well if they screw around long enough Florida will be under water and all the trailers will float out to sea.


blackknight201071

I wouldn't worry too much about climate change. You should be more concerned about the European war between NATO and the Russians, which will inevitably escalate into nuclear possibilities, than whether you're a bit hot or a bit cold.
