    State literally sinking into the ocean, insurance companies fleeing because they can’t make money due to storms of the century happening yearly, but yeah can’t be climate change, that’d be silly.

    I’m actually for this. With their home insurance marked on the verge of collapse and thus their housing market, I kind of just want to watch it all burn at this point. I only ask that we withhold any federal aid and disaster relief when they get shit on by mother nature.

      That would be cruel to the people hit by a natural Desaster, people that might not be on board with this law at all.

      Further it would just give the right wings nuts a reason to point to how evil Democrats are.

      I instead propose to create a safety fund on the federal level that can be used to support states hit by natural Desaster. Just call it something realy obvious, like the “Climate Change Damge Mitigation Fund”. Make it a requirement that states publicly announce how much money they are asking for from said fund.

        The people voted this way. It’s only sad for a tiny minority of people living in Florida AND reality.

        I too feel bad for the few who see that this is a bad policy but what you’re suggesting is basically what they’re already doing and no matter what we call the fund it’s just going to be enabling poor policy makers to keep doing what they do.

    This is worse than the idea of putting giant ice cubes in the ocean.

    LOL, Gov. Clownboots should sign a law that makes ocean acidification illegal before Miami collapses into the sea.

      Society says we can’t eliminate these types. Society decided this was the way it should be.
