Check Your Flood Risk From Global Warming With This Free 3D Simulation App

“Florida is about to erase climate change from most of its laws”

“In Florida, the effects of climate change are hard to ignore, no matter your politics. It’s the hottest state — Miami spent a record 46 days above a heat index of 100 degrees last summer — and many homes and businesses are clustered along beachfront areas threatened by rising seas and hurricanes. A Republican bill would delete the majority of mentions of climate change from existing state laws.” — GRIST

What’s the risk of your house flooding from climate change in Florida (or any other part of America)? Check for yourself with this free 3D Simulator. Enter your address in this app to see what happens when water levels rise from 1–6 feet using data from NOAA.

Dark polluter donations behind MAGA denial of climate change

“With the fight against climate change slowed, advocates say, sea level rise and weather extremes such as hotter wildfires and more severe droughts are likely to continue. “The problem is this: They closed down administrative agencies’ ability to regulate, and then they send the questions over to Congress where we are blockaded by the filibuster and where all the big, dark polluter money that they let into the political system holds sway,” said Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D‑RI)”. — PBS

Republicans deny global warming. “DeSantis has not addressed the overwhelming scientific consensus that climate change is real and caused by the burning of fossil fuels, facts that a majority of Republicans in Congress, for example, deny are true as well.” — American Independent

How to use this Global Warming Flood simulation app

Coastal cities flooding

“Projections of sea level rise have put a countdown on several coastal cities. A new study shows that the combination of coastal subsidence and sea level rise acts like a welcome mat for water. Using satellite data, the researchers measured subsidence rates in 99 coastal cities around the world. They found that most are sinking faster than sea levels are rising. In many cities, such as Manila in the Philippines, Tampa in Florida, and Alexandria in Egypt, this means coastal flooding will become an issue much sooner than predicted by models of sea level rise alone.” — Who What Why

MAGA Supreme Court Justices gut the EPA

“HOW CHARLES KOCH PURCHASED THE SUPREME COURT’S EPA DECISION. Decades of contributions aimed at influencing the judiciary bought the fossil fuel billionaire the ruling he’s always wanted.

The 6–3 SUPREME COURT decision restricting the ability of the Environmental Protection Agency to regulate carbon emissions will benefit power plants and fossil fuel companies throughout the U.S. and profoundly hobble the government’s ability to address the worsening climate catastrophe.” — The Intercept

TakeAway: Stay dry! Vote for President Biden and Democrats who take Global Warming seriously.
