Yawn. Hmmm. Wonder if anyone in the world has thought up a way or a system of ways to keep the ocean at bay........... Hmmmmm.

No, so often they cannot see.

What a ludicrous rambling article.

[jeffc]

Jeesh, that was a load of blather. The Guardian? What do they know of manatees? Homasassa Springs manatee park is great and they are well protected there.

Leftists. They just gotta' have something to complain about...

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.

Studies show that humans don’t respond well to abstract projections.

Especially when most people know they are total BS.

Nope. The ocean does whatever it wants.

[ReaganGeneration2]

The amount of delusion in this article is staggering

[miss marmelstein]

Shucks! I was hoping for that hilarious Goebbels photo.

[oldtech]

Beneficial lomg-term outcomes such as reducing the intensity of climate change....???? How? More & more taxes seems to be the only answer they have & that doesn’t work.

” hundred manatees were gathered for winter”

I didn’t know they flew south like the birds. /sarc

[teeman8r]

can one keep the ocean at bay?

i think not... it is all connected.

Can’t humans see the writing on the wall?>>>>>>>>>>>>>

The Dutch refused to see the writing on the wall a thousand years ago.

I suppose the Dutch are all effed up according to these lefty socialist diatribes?

“We overvalue short-term benefits, such as driving SUVs,”

Short-term benefits.... like being able to haul more than one sack of groceries, or surviving a crash with anything weighing more than a shopping cart.

Crack journalist or journalist on crack?
You be the judge.

I recently watched a documentary on the history of Australia.

60 to 65,000 years ago the first humans reached Australia by walking across land bridges that existed then.

Of course since then the sea levels have risen, yet humans managed to survive.

If the sea is rising or if Florida is sinking, humans will do what humans do best, adapt.

Isn’t it universal to be opposed to the idiotic construction in areas that are prone to flooding? We all end up paying, between disaster relief costs and higher insurance rates.

[Mashood]

At least the fishings good...

same song, 53rd verse

[Flycatcher]

2018 was the second deadliest year on record for manatees. Like many of our coastal species, they’re vulnerable to habitat loss and warming seas,

Good Lord, what idiocy!

Manatees can’t survive for long in cold water. If any species would hugely benefit from “warming seas,” it would be the manatee. Sheesh...
