Yeah, not enough ice left! 1000 years from now shorelines will look different, but the Florida peninsula is likely still there.
Our planet counts time in billions of years, things happen slowly.

We’ve signed 11 transfer portal former 5 star HS recruits? Cool, that’s news to me. Can you name them. You’ve named 2
If someone disagrees with you on anything, don't feel the urge to automatically give them an unflattering label. It makes you sound insecure.
Who knows exactly, but that doesn't mean we're not already seeing the effects?
10 years, 30, probably 50 tops. Not great either way, but I'll be dead by then if that last number. Feel for my young son though, and kids in general.
50 tops??? I’m amazed banks are still issuing 30 year loans on homes that will be underwater in 10-50 years.
And I assume you believe the earth was covered in ice for a long time and we got to this point so would that alone tell us that yes, the climate does change. It isn’t static. But the idea that all these land masses are disappearing is a bit dubious.
Ah, the "post truth" era at it's saddest. Cool man, feel free to disagree with literally 99% of the world's scientists who literally do this for their specialized career.
I'm banking on us becoming an interplanetary species anyway because I've lost hope for enough people like you to come around to the reality of things. But it's all good! Raising my boy to be very into all things space, because it could be his or his children's generation that has to take that leap of faith and leave a decaying habitat at the only home we've ever had.
Excelsior!
FWIW, when 99% of certain groups are in agreement, it is our duty and responsibility to disagree. In most cases, the world and society doesn't advance when 100% of people all have the same thoughts.
Any other topic recently, since say 2020, where supposedly 99 percent of "experts" agreed and then were shown to be completely wrong?
The 99% is pure myth. Its akin to the people who signed off on Hunter's Russian Conspiracy letter - it is political blackmail as all things are. Do you really believe all these "scientists" believe the virus theories or remedies?
First you need to separate out your terms. Is there climate change, the easy answer is yes, and there always has been. If you are a creation or evolutionist - both agree that earth has always and will always change.
The next question is does man influence that? I am a big proponent of taking care of the earth but not worshiping it as we are doing now. God gave it to us along with everything on it and we are to subdue it. We can't control it, that is His responsibility. We are just stewards.
Where was everyone when the earth was covered with ice or water or even had more active volcanoes? Its called nature, we don't control it. But man in his infinite wisdom thinks he can or better, attempts to fleece money from the unsuspecting world in order to redistribute wealth in more equitable way rather than taking it by force.
Scientists can't agree on much unless there is money behind their choice. Consider:
“The world has been chilling sharply for about 20 years,” ecologist Kenneth Watt said in 1970. “If present trends continue, the world will be about 4 degrees colder for the global mean temperature in 1990 but 11 degrees colder in the year 2000. This is about twice what it would take to put us into an ice age.”
In 1975, C.C. Wallen of the World Meteorological Organization said that “(t)he cooling since 1940 has been large enough and consistent enough that it will not soon be reversed.” Scientist Nigel Calder wrote that “(t)he threat of a new ice age must now stand alongside nuclear war as a likely source of wholesale death and misery for mankind.”
According to the San Jose Mercury News, Brown said that “entire nations could be wiped off the face of the earth by rising sea levels if global warming is not reversed by the year 2000. Coastal flooding and crop failures would create an exodus of ‘eco-refugees,’ threatening political chaos, said Brown, director of the New York office of the U.N. Environment Program.”
“Refugees are expected to move to Antarctica because of the rising temperatures that will see the population of the continent increase to 3.5 million people by 2040,” the Telegraph reported. “As the world fails to act on climate change, researchers predict that global trade will collapse as oil prices break through $400 a barrel and electrical appliances will get automatically turned off when households exceed energy quotas.”
Guess we better get started on the migration. There is tons of this stuff you want to flippantly say 99% of scientists agree on. Rubbish
99 % of the worlds paid off scientists. Is greta your here. You sound horribly brainwashed. Why do all the super rich posers own beachfront property, because they all know it’s a scam. Duh
Conspiracy theorist I see. I too was once one of those. Then I grew up/woke up. Here's to hoping for you too mate.
Peer reviewed actually means something, even if you don't think it does. Sure, corporations fund all sorts of research and sometimes allow it to be punished, even if it hurts their bottom line. But not typical. Peer reviewed amongst governed organizations, academic organizations, and independent scientific organizations aren't so beholden to money however.
Let go of your own brainwashing my friend. It's LIBERATING to know truth, even if it's sad or hurts. It's part of the human experience 😉
Yep, kind of like the ice age that was coming in the 70s ha ha.
Not much Florida left at the height of the last interglacial period (120,000 ybp). Sea level is 8 inches higher in Fla than in 1950 and the rate of rise is increasing.
I can't speak on the climate stuff as I don't follow it, but I am really into ancient history especially dealing with Egypt. The crazy part right now is there has been a narrative formed over the years about what is correct. There is a lot of new data coming out that proves the previous theories incorrect, but the established archeologist don't like the conclusion because it goes against all the books they've written/sold, tvs shows they've made, and government grants they've received. They now go and try to refute (with bad data) and get rid of any new data that disproves their point. Instead of continuing their work with new data points, they are trying to suppress real data.
I think you can translate this to "science" and just know that it is ever changing. I don't know why being incorrect is such a bad thing. That's what science is. Have a starting point, analyze all of the data, and shift your thinking as new data comes about. It's ok to be wrong and then correct course. Just admit you are wrong. It'll help you move forward.

Articles about rape culture at dog parks and rewriting Mein Kampf were peer reviewed and then published. It means very little in today's academia.
What do you know about today's academia? Life science is entering into a golden age of discovery on all levels of the discipline. Is there half ass work that is published? Sure. But there is half assed effort in all walks of life.
I know that a large percentage of it has been corrupted by an absolutely insane political ideology. Same with a lot of corporate America too.
Roland Fryer is a nice case study for the integrity of academia at Harvard.
Safety and Rover seem a bit thin in terms of depth. Gifford, Hartzog, Singleton and Buford are veterans, and Bretz as a depth chart piece. Tommi could probably play safety if need be and I know the coaches have liked playing Hartzog at safety. There are a bunch of corners on the team. Of the young ones, Bootle has already been on the 2 deep. If healthy, I would think Gifford (R), Singleton and Buford (Safeties), and Tommi and Hartzog (CBs) are the starters. I think Tommi can play Safety and Hartzog already has. There are a ton of young corners and I would hope a couple have the light go on and will be ready to play.
So back on topic. Does Collier believe in global warming or not?
Debunked huh? Would love to see that literature. Bet my next paycheck I could show such "findings" are traced back to corporate big oil or such nefarious sources. Or a grifter who is in the .01% of the world's scientists who aren't with the overall consensus (also likely paid big bucks to be contrarian for political purposes only - or an idiot no academic institution would touch with a 50' pole).
Very few are calling for everyone to just stop breathing as you seen to imply. But EVs for most consumers needs? A clear duh. Big haul rigs will still be needed... Very few say otherwise. Only a few loonies of the left go there... And nobody actually takes them serious other than Fox "news".
We should switch to nuclear energy across the states? Another betcha. Anything else is idealistic or still in big oils deep pockets.
I'd be right there with ya if we were told to eat crickets over beef. Just so ya know.
But EVs for non industry driving, and fund nuclear uptick over the next 2-3 decades? C'mon man! Embrace the future while we've got one that still resembles the normalcy of today.
Unless of course you're actually getting paid big bucks to argue otherwise. In which case I guess I'd understand, as disappointed as I'd be.
Hope you feel liberated after learning this truth.
Most scientists 'can't replicate studies by their peers'
Science is facing a "reproducibility crisis" as scientists fail to reproduce others' work, it is claimed.

Oh sh!t. I better evacuate asap!
I swear 99% of inhabited Florida has been extremely altered. Drained, dredged, filled, etc. I think Florida will be fine in that regard. It will probably just become an expensive place to live due to insurance. But then again it will probably end up like most things and the federal government will end up subsidizing it.
It’s expensive now because all these fvcktards fleeing New York and their terrible government and driving up prices here
They moved top fast on EV's, IMO. Hybrid's were the answer and they just skipped over them and went straight to EV's. That was a mistake. Millions of people, myself included aren't buying EV's.
All these soccer moms driving mid-sized suv's should be driving hybrids and getting 10 mpg more. Instead they have a tiny percentage of the population driving ev's.
I'm sure that's true but I casually looked into what it would take to buy a vacation home. The insurance seemed pretty crazy. Maybe it's not a big deal to someone from there. I just can't imagine what people will be paying in 20 years if the trend continues. Didn't there used to basically be 1 big hurricane a decade? Where lately it's been about once every 2 years or so?
"They" made a plug-in hybrid Ford that I bought last year.
