it’s not an obstacle, it’s an opportunity! – Florida has a long and prestigious tradition of selling waterfront property …
Somehow I feel that capitalism won’t solve the problems that capitalism created.
The same kind of flooding that hit Brazil I expect to hit south Florida within the next year.
Florida does have a rigorous pumping systems due to hurricanes. So we will be able to pump the extra water out… eventually. That being said, flooding will still persist for days at a time.
Though I am sure our elected officials won’t just pretend that climate change doesn’t exist… and will put effort into upgrading that pumping infrastructure…
is the pumping system up to the same standards as Texas’ electric grid?
Not funny! 100’s of thousands of people are currently in the dark because a thunderstorm came through 4 days ago!. JK. Maybe if enough people make fun of the joke of an electrical grid Texas has, it’ll be improved.

Individual storms are random enough that I’m very hesitant to make that kind of short-term statement.

you guys are just as fucked as them.
I won’t disagree with you on that.
We do have tools to fight flooding when it comes. The big problems will be the ecology and industries that fall apart when streets are flooded.
I am hopeful for a scenario where the wildlife grows/adapts around the flooding. But the chemicals that get mixed in with the flooding. That will be the hard part.
How high’s the water, Mama?
