When did they start doing comedy shows?

If Florida real estate is going to be underwater, literally, in fifty years, doesn't that affect the market price? How valuable is land when you can't pass it on to the next generation?

As a cold-hearted conservative who only cares about money, you should be damn interested in when and to what extent Florida will be underwater. It affects your bottom line.

Can't they just pass a law in Florida that requires people to ignore climate science? So far that has worked pretty well for North Carolina.

*Shhhh*

With any luck, in the next couple of decades, climate deniers will have snapped up all that real estate.

Is that the one where they passed a law stating that the legislation cannot consider any aspect of climate change including "astrological"? I think Rachael Maddow had a field day on that one. Can't find the video though...

I'm about a mile inland, so I'm looking forward to the beach front property.

A mile inland on top of a hill?

The one I am thinking of is a law where planners can not use current scientific predictions of a much higher sea level rise. They must use much older predictions -- you know, because in years past scientists knew more than those upstart whippersnapper scientists of today, ah...the good old days of science... -- that have much lower sea level rise predictions.
