Not saying they should be killed or abused, but get a grip, people.
Meh - just buy a condo on a higher floor and tie your boat to the balcony.
Minus 50 points for failure to post Goebbel’s picture at beginning of thread.
Hah! I knew it.
I have been there, and I’ve never seen anything like that, what an amazing place. had a really good time camping there for three days with some friends. It gets very loud on Saturday night apparently.

This is one of my favorite videos of the place, mostly for the music and the backward swimming fish and sinking bubbles!
...but they truly believe that sea levels are rising - SPECIFICALLY IN FLORIDA! I kid you not...
I wonder what caused climate change before evil man came along and invented SUVs...
I’m okay with what you suggest. It’s just that when there’s flooding, everyone pays to replace the infrastructure...roads, utility bills and insurance, needs of displaced people etc. As it is now, we all pay in so many ways.
Couple of possible answers.
1. Sea levels aren’t rising, so developers are willing to build there despite the environmentalist hysteria.

2. The sea may rise, but developers are willing to build there because the government insurance programs will bail them out just as it does with luxury homes on the beach regularly wiped out by hurricanes.
The issue here is that environmentalists have screamed the oceans will rise by 20+ feet. If they really believed that, they’d have changed the government insurance program to prohibit building homes in the “flood zone” ... and they haven’t.
That means they don’t really believe their own hysterics, since ending the insurance coverage stops building in “at risk” zones.
“Deep fried or blackened,”
Manatees are mammals, not fish.
This reporter does not seem to realize manatees only briefly visit the springs themselves - they come to the springs in winter because the water temperature is warmer and stable than the sea.
Same season they come to the COAL FIRED POWER PLANT with their babies to enjoy the warm artificially heated lifesaving saltwater that leaves the plant there and to drink the freshwater the company has put there for them in the form of a constantly dripping hose over the inlet- the company mounted the hose by the observation deck so humans can see the manatees. We’re not sure if the manatees can even see the humans since their eyesight sucks.
This isn’t the first time England checked out. When the Roman Empire collapsed, after two generations or so, there was no one who could maintain civilization. It took Normans and northern Europeans to bring it to its 500 years or so of greatness. Again, it does seem they’ve become a dying, useless population, easily overwhelmed. Amazing, since it was just over 100 years ago that the Brits were responsible for so much science, literature, efficient government, technology, and exploration.
She’s crying about warming seas when in fact warmer water would be the best thing there is for manatees. Cold weather kills more of them than propellers do.
As for red tide, it’s been around since the conquistadors, who wrote about it.
“Amazing, since it was just over 100 years ago that the Brits were responsible for so much science, literature, efficient government, technology, and exploration.”
About 2002 I told a limey cow-orker that they would rue the day they failed to expel the muzzies. He became furious.
I wonder what he thinks today. Perhaps he’s already been knifed in the street.
the models show that they will...
especially the blonde models.
Actually they are native to Florida, as are water lilies.
They were on the menu of the natives of Florida for thousands of years and their bones are found in the archaeological record.
As it happens, they do like to eat nonnative water hyacinth, which is an invasive species you probably confused with water lilies, but manatees don’t really have much access to freshwater ponds and lakes where hyacinth and waterlilies are usually found unless a flood puts the manatees there, since they cannot crawl overland. After big storms there are always some manatees and dolphins that need rescued and taken back to the rivers or sea.
The Russians don't need a nuke. We've got AOC on the loose. Takes a little longer, but there's no risk of retaliation unless what's left of America wants to nuke Brooklyn.
I wouldn’t mind seeing miami flood if it meant we stopped getting Gaia Worshiping socialist Yankees moving to Florida. In fact, that’d be great for the state.
You will know the “rising oceans” predication is coming true when waterfront real estate begins dropping in value. Until that happens, it just all so much hot air.
and when financial institutions and investors stop financing billion dollar waterfront developments...
