You mean the same idiots who build their homes in Tornado alley in the midwest?
Or the same idiots who live in earthquake zones? Where exactly would you like people to live devoid of natural disasters?
Even within Florida we can recognize that a home built a mile in-land around Tampa....or built near Orlando has exposure to hurricanes. However, nobody is going to equate that to the same risk of building a place smack on the coast near the tip of Florida.
The only reason the severity of risk has been ignored in Florida this long is because your state government has subsidized high-risk properties via price diversion and suppression of insurance costs.
In short, the highest risk properties are subsidized by the entire state.
Why face reality when you can have someone else pick up the check?
If there were clean act measures passed around the world, it wouldn't be as big a problem. It would also eliminate some outsourcing, since it's harder to compete with our factories when you can't just dump extreme amounts of toxins into the air.
I know! With the Earth being flat, how could that not be true?
Really? After being shown lacking in your alarmism, you then take a stance of arrogance? Are you sure your movement can continue such a dismissive stance on the issues? It may have worked in the early days, before the modeled simulations were failing, before the last 16 years of no significant warming, before the numerous flops by the IPCC, NOAA, and NSIDC's statements and retractions, before the issues with climategate and the unethical practices of those researchers, before the flawed papers of consensus were found, before all of these issues... it may have worked.
It doesn't now and so making wild statements, appeals to authority, and relying on evidence that is really just unfounded predictions, well.. it makes you appear... well... desperate, "needy" for some sort of approval and honestly just petty and foolish.

But-But-But.... the rising water would just fall off the edge, wouldn't it? Kind of like what Paul Ryan wants to do with Granny in her wheelchair.
What are you talking about? You aren't making any sense.
Flat Earth - edge ... Cliff - edge... it's not complicated, is it? Think using sarcasm to point out willful ignorance.
