Number of Florida houses for sale just skyrocketed. What are the odds these are all Airbnb rentals with owners who are about to declare bankruptcy?

You have to hand it to human ingenuity. This is some view!!

It's an iron law of human behaviour: The larger the body of evidence a person must deny to preserve their beliefs, the crazier their alternative explanations become. independent.co.uk/news/world/ame…

@stop_fossil_fue 100% agree with your approach. However, what 'needs to be done' needs systems thinkers who do not solve one problem in one place by removing it and often making ity bigger somewhere else.

@postcarbonsteve Anyway, what's for tea? Seriously, though, how do we cut through to the average citizen? We need to get beyond ' an environmental spokesman said' ................

Nice analogy.

Then Jesus said unto the sick, “you better have insurance.” Then Jesus said unto the stranger, “are you here legally?” Then Jesus said unto the hungry, “my taxes better not be paying for these loaves and fishes.” Then Jesus said unto the poor, “this is your own fault.”

Hurricane Milton is not "the storm of the century". It is just the beginning. Unless we stop pouring greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, such devastating events will become commonplace - and ever more horrific.

With Hurricane Milton threatening to swamp Tampa, it's a great opportunity to enjoy one of the greatest responses to climate science denial of our age. From @Hbomberguy

Hurricane Milton is expected to bring a destructive storm surge to Florida's west coast. @StephanieAbrams uses our FloodFX simulation technology to show you what that could look like ⬇️

No, it’s already irreversible. However hot it gets is how hit it will stay for generations. And the level of heat is what drives all the impacts such as storms. We are in damage minimization mode. Which is still crucial.

@Belle4Green @pmagn I agree. But it's no longer about solving a crisis. It's bracing for impact to save what we can?

When are we going to start naming storms with oil company names. E.g Hurricane Exxon.

Hurricane Milton is undergoing one of the fastest rapid intensifications ever observed in the Atlantic. It is now a 155 mph Category 4 storm, just 2 mph shy of Category 5 status. Not a single weather model predicted the storm would strengthen this quickly.
