    Also:

    • When NOAA is dismantled, the National Weather Service gutted and privatised, the National Flood Insurance Program abolished, and FEMA ‘overhauled’, the government’s ability to predict and respond to increasing climate disasters will be severely hampered. Private insurance companies have already been fleeing at-risk areas, so the impact of future hurricane seasons will be devastating.

      Maybe when Florida is completely uninhabitable for large chunks of the year, some Floridians will start to wonder if maybe there was something to what all those egghead scientists have been saying.

      Nah. It’ll still be the Democrats’ fault. Somehow.

      Ha well at least there is one silver lining for me. National Flood insurance being abolished would be great for me personally. I live inland and have a stupid river from a 40 year old map that doesn’t even exist now causing me to pay. The process to remove it is long and typically requires a surveyor that can cost thousands.
