An argument for moving to Florida or Louisiana, where the water will be delivered to your home for free in short order.

Dark humor, but sometimes you have to laugh to keep from crying.

Louisiana's problem is more land erosion than sea level rise and it's mostly due to dams all the way up in the Dakotas.

Water rights are a huge mess and I see it being the thing that eventually breaks up pacts between most nations. The US and EU will cease to be and nations will go to war over it.

The legislation around these rights is a time bomb.

I love dark humor!

Honestly, I don't think we need to worry about global warming, Apple basically solved it by not including a charging brick with the iPhone12 and new watches! /s

This sums up how capitalism feels about global warming.
