It's a comforting thought that even if the morons in Florida and other southern states that "don't believe in no global warming hoax", have insurance companies who do. They can argue with them when they cancel their policies and nobody can get a mortgage to buy their houses, even if they wanted them. Then when a hurricane, flood or tornado wipes them out they can become believers, or probably just blame Biden.

Personally, I find neither comfort nor vindication in a situation that has millions (perhaps needlessly) suffer.

From what I’ve seen, the Republican legislators many of these folks voted in are going to respond to the relentless confirmation of global climate catastrophe not with enlightenment, but with mulishly stubborn insistence* on their broken ideology.

I see the opposite of comfort or even satisfaction at this slow-motion trainwreck of loss and grief. There’s a distinct lack of joy in proving the stupid wrong, when that proving leads to no improvement in their mindset or actions.

Being bitch slapped by reality is always unpleasant, but in this case, math got them, or will, the innocent along with the idiots. The comfort is in the confrontation with reality and the bitter end of denialism by a hardcore who oppose climate change. Climate change is hitting hardest where it needs to for change to happen and opposition to measures to reduce. It is unfortunate, but it is what it is, change or suffer and probably suffer even if they change.

Confrontation with reality, when it leads to no insight, is cruel tragedy. There is nothing there for decent folk to cheer.

If it leads to change it is generally a good thing overall, it will be insurance companies making the calls based on scientific data, no matter what they believe or who they vote for. It will be tragic for many no matter what they believe and if we have a big hurricane season this year that tragedy could happen sooner than many expect, the water temps around Florida are very high 100F in some places and if a hurricane gets over it look out!

The nub of the thing is the bolded, to which I suggest adding either “institutional” or “structural”. My outlook is pessimistic.

They will change or move to other districts when their houses are wiped away, we might have a very bad hurricane season and a singular weather event can change history, much less several in succession. The insurance companies are getting out while they can and, in these conditions, super storms are more likely, ones that can wreck Florida from end to end and wash some of it away even with widespread flooding in surrounding states. If you thought, there was an exodus of insurance companies before...

It's an old story and goes back to Noa and the ark, and probably originated when the ocean broke into the black sea about 10,000 years ago. Some guys saw the sea water leaking through the cliff, figured it out and built a boat, the ones who scoffed moved fast or died.

Georgia’s RICO law could target the entire Trump campaign

29,524 views Jul 29, 2023 #Trump #Campaign #Georgia
Many believe that Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has an indictment coming for Trump based on Georgia’s anti-racketeering statute– modeled after the federal version, known as the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO). The law can target criminal enterprises “as fleeting as a day or two,” and the target can be a “loose affiliation” of people working together, says Lynsey Barron, a former assistant U.S. attorney in Georgia. “I can see this indictment making the case that the criminal enterprise is the [Trump] campaign.”

When the campaign is funded off of a lie, the campaign should go down.

Haley on new Trump charges: ‘You shouldn’t be erasing anything unless you have something to hide’
GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley took aim at new allegations brought against former President Trump last week, saying that no one should erase anything unless they had “something to hide.”

“I mean, none of that sounds good,” Haley told Margaret Brennan on CBS’s “Face the Nation.” “The same way it didn’t sound good when Hillary [Clinton] erased her emails. It doesn’t matter if you’re Republican or Democrat. It doesn’t matter if you’re Hillary or if you’re Trump. You shouldn’t be erasing anything unless you have something to hide.”

Haley also reiterated that she would “clean up” the Justice Department if elected to the White House.
“But everybody needs to be treated the same way,” she said. “And that’s what the American people are frustrated about. It’s not that they don’t want people held accountable. They just want everyone to be treated fairly and right now they don’t trust the Department of Justice.”

“If I become president, the first thing we’re going to do is we’re going to make sure we clean up any sort — we’ll clean it up from the top and all of senior management,” she added. “They have weaponized and put politics in the Department of Justice over years.”
Trump was charged with trying to delete surveillance footage from his private residence of Mar-a-Lago in a new superseding indictment last week in the classified documents case. The Justice Department said Trump acted with Carlos de Oliveira, the property manager of the club, and Trump’s other co-defendant Walt Nauta in trying to delete the footage.

He initially pleaded not guilty to the original 37 counts of mishandling classified documents and attempting to keep them from the government last month.
