The Newsmakers 
Can Florida survive the next phase of climate change?
With catastrophic hurricanes and rising sea levels, the state faces unprecedented threats to its infrastructure and way of life. Can the US government and Florida residents prevent the worst-case scenario, or is the damage already done? And with the 2024 elections approaching, will climate change finally become a priority for US voters?

Converting Florida asap in a natural flora fauna reserve is already begun. An irreversible process due to climate change.
The Mayans knew the earth has an expiration date. The eclipse we had in April had an effect on our geological system more storms earthquakes and ice
FLORIDA- LAND OF SCIENCE ILLITERATES, CLIMATE CHANGE DENIALISTS, Rage grievance Maga Cult hysterics. Irreversible abrupt climate change is already here around the world with devastating flooding and Death . SCIENCE MATTERS. 🌀🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊
Not only south,the whole FL, like the days of Noah
Thank you for this program. very informative.
U play with yourself lady
😳Yeah ok good luck with that!! Goes with the territory, unfortunately between June -November Hurricane 🌀 Season!! You can keep that foolishness down south & that pipe dream of living in that swamp land!!! Left & sold my Fort Laud. in 2005 & Love being back home in ❤🗽🏙️Brooklyn, NY! They Don't Care, Those Politicians unless it's their own! I don't see your Gov. D'Satan helping any of you all, or 🍊Face you all worship, could care less!! Has he put any if his Supporters in his WPB Mansion or distributed his so call millions?? NO, I Don't Think So! Those poor retired population who has lost everything, from rip off assessments. Just Wicked!
What World Is HeLiving In, That Insensitive 🤬! Climate Change Has Caused People To Lose Their Whole Livelihood & He's Worrying About His Extra Beach Land. The State Is Sinking!!!
HAARPE if responsible for disrupting the weather maybe could be redirected towards Africa where the hurricane starts and prevent it from the start. Or once traveling the waters prevent the strength or circular motion
ice ages have always been proceeded by unusually high warming spikes. So maybe we will all cool off soon.
Climate change is due to the sins of man. Not because cows have gas, or that we drive cars
I'm a lifelong resident of Florida and 5 hurricanes in 2 years is a game changer especially for the West Coast of Florida which has been severely affected.
It's too bad the younger person just could not answer the question. 🙄
funny how the sea level has stayed the same for over 100 years just look at pictures of the statue of liberty it has not changed. Just like when my ice cubes melt in my cup it never seems to overflow.
Horrifying! May God have mercy on us!
Waters are moving in fast, so people and animals are getting closer over there, crocs move in fish,land animals also looking for higher ground, the only ones who are not looking for higher ground are the people , why, insects water animals land animals bugs snakes there all seeking higher ground , dumb humans,
What if we all just recycle? Won't that solve everything??
Karma
The sea level rise 100 ft ? Good luck.
Too bad many politicians and business people have refused to admit there was such a thing as climate change.
How realistic is it to think there's any possibility of convincing developers trying to build hotels, condos, resorts "on the beach" is no longer viable, when historically beaches have been prime property.
Governor Da' Sanctimonious will save you from the woke agenda!
Stop messing with the weather.
between pollution , drinking water , hurricanes , rising water , ect… fl will collaspe with the next 10yrs
You gotta remember, 40 o/o of the U.S. public are fundamentalist Christians, and they don't believe that global warming is real. The MAGA Republican crowd also don't believe it either. That got to be over 60 o/o of the U.S. population. Then there's the huge cohort that is barely aware that G.W. is happening or how serious it is. They don't know, they don't want to know. All this in the wealthiest, most powerful, technologically advanced country in the world. It blows my mind.
Florida began as a swamp state for a reason. Did folks think weather would change because of over-development and gentrification?
Hahaha the sea level is rising?? I guess Miami is under water right now, back in the 70’s in the 6th grade we were taught we are heading for an ice age, but now they figured out how to destroy things and blame fake “climate change”!!!
How about giving our lives back over to GOD and then Treat each other with Love/Support/Eqaulity and then stop polluting our country on every level, because our lives have a dirrect core relationship with planet earth if the people are doing bad then the planet will also do bad they must keep this in mind and cut back on building on everything stop driving everywhere grow trees and water our grass!!!
I was born and raised in Florida, but my family are about to join the herds of families moving north due to the increasing heat, oppressive humidity, and the strengthening hurricanes that are causing us to not even be able to get our homes covered by insurance. This year, our house came a few feet from flooding, something we’ve never seen in our immediate area. My kids will not be able to buy a home here without seriously considering the future and how long it will realistically last. So we out. 😘✌️
Climate will always change. Look back 75 million years and wake up to history repeating itself. What can people to fix this? A big fat nothing. Not even democrats can stop the future despite how much they lie. Smart people for the next 100 years would be wise to move away from the coast.
It's time to relocate you are living below sea level and sinking yearly what don't you guys understand. 😢
The government is relocating immigrants to America 🇺🇸 we cannot help our own citizens to relocate.
Infinite growth on a finite planet is insanity. Edward Abbey: "Growth for the sake of growth is the ideology of a cancer cell." We're willing to sacrifice all life as we know it on this planet for an abstract concept: money.
Increasing water and storms will also affect the stability of the soil under homes even away from the coast. Deadly sinkholes from below. Nowhere is safe in the state. And sea level rise is not necessarily in the comfortably distant future. It can happen suddenly with the rush of meltwater from distant glaciers in Antarctica and Greenland some of which are on the verge of immediate collapse NOW and which would increase sea level in increments of feet instead of inches. THOSE will determine the schedule for sea level rise, not people. One foot of sea level rise measured at low tide will doom Miami, which is also on the verge of losing its water supply underground from sea water saturation underground moving inland.
Its time to give up on the USA, You can't expect anything good to come from a country that night elect Donald Trump.
Climate change is a scam
If it were made law that only Democrats in Florida were allowed to cross the state borders to flee during hurricanes, they’d start acting right in just a few days. But instead people vote for anti-common sense policies that make things worse for everyone, flee to Georgia a couple times a year, and in 10 years will say that the first ever Cat 6 hurricane in known history of the Earth is “just something weird”.
Florida twice elected a Governor who does nothing but make things worse…..😢
Common core!
The state of Florida should be a national park
“Yes, dry land can exist below sea level without being submerged by the ocean, as long as there is a barrier, like a natural geological formation, preventing the water from flowing in”
It will happen ! I will stay. Hudson Florida 34667 Richard Jr.
Climate change is BS. One volcanic event, well that would be climate change.
The Black guy – he's part of the hysteria… he's part of the problem. Take off your blinders & look at the big picture. Fool.
Everyone looks at the ocean to check for SLR not realizing it’s coming from behind and above
“Sea level hasn’t risen an inch my entire life” as the ground under their feet becomes soggy
It's beyond obvious that Florida and other vulnerable places are going to become uninsurable and then unlivable. So people keep moving in. Our species is proving totally incapable of seeing the problem much less solving it. Risk is being shifted from the perceptive, predominantly smart blue Democrats, to the deniers, predominantly dumb red Republicans who will be left holding the bag. At some point the exploding national debt will not allow the taxpayer to bail them out. No wonder Republicans prefer to hide in a cult: "We'll escape through the furnace, Father will protect us! Where is your faith?"
To hell with Florida!!! Let it sink!!! I absolutely refuse to change my lifestyle just because bozos want to live by oceans!!! Move or learn how to swim!!!!
Vote BLUE for needed climate policies.
It crazy high rise development her in Broward county.
The traffic is insane gridlock…cash and grab mentality
