    if all the icecaps and glaciers melt, which they currently are, Florida is going the way of Atlantis. Never mind making liberal heads explode or throwing marginalized outgroup profiles in prison for fun and profit; you’d think sheer simple self-preservation would mean something.

        I don’t get people who think like that. Don’t they have kids, grandkids? They might not have to suffer the consequences, but their descendants do.
