And they already smell bad enough.
Right, Louisiana and Florida are the most obviously doomed, but the entire Gulf Coast will be pretty much uninhabitable due to extreme heat, ever stronger hurricanes (cat 6 coming to a coast near you soon!), and rising seas.
They don’t have to believe in it to be destroyed. Physics and atmospheric dynamics don’t care what you believe.
Houston to be reclaimed by nature in the next 25 years. That land was a swamp back in the day…it’ll be 50 or 60 feet under the ocean before it’s all said and done.
I feel so sorry for the people who live in these places and have voted against the GOP. They must feel so desperately discouraged.
Poorer areas have already addressed this problem – unable to afford septic or septic upkeep, many are just flushing raw sewage onto the ground. Which is why they now have a hookworm problem.
