...and the situation is only going to get Worse...every year...every day. You're entitled to your opinion...but not the raw data...and Physics.
-----------------------
AI Overview<?b>

,B.A sea-level rise of 3 feet is projected to force approximately 1 million Floridians to relocate by the year 2070.[1, 2],/B.

Florida is uniquely vulnerable to rising oceans due to its low elevation; roughly 10% of the state's population currently lives on land less than 3.3 feet above sea level.

Key Impacts of a 3-Foot Rise
• Population Displacement: Estimates from 1000 Friends of Florida indicate that 906,000 residents would be forced to relocate as their homes become permanently inundated or subject to chronic flooding.
• Land Inundation: A 3-foot rise would submerge roughly 1.7 million acres of land across the state.
• Infrastructure at Risk: According to Climate Central, a 3-foot threshold would put more than 2,500 miles of roads, 35 public schools, and nearly 1,000 hazardous waste or sewage sites at risk of flooding.
• Economic Exposure: In South Florida alone (Monroe, Palm Beach, and Broward counties), property values vulnerable to a 3-foot rise are estimated to exceed $31Billion.

Regional Vulnerability
Vulnerability is highest in South Florida, where many areas sit just 3 feet above current sea levels. [1, 2]
• Miami-Dade & Broward: These counties have more people living on land below 4 feet than any other state in the U.S. (except for Florida as a whole and Louisiana).
• St. Augustine: A 3-foot rise could inundate 42% of the city and affect over 900 historic structures.
• The Florida Keys: By the time seas rise significantly, an estimated 80% of the archipelago could be underwater. [, 3, 5]
For a detailed look at specific neighborhoods, you can use the Climate Central Risk Finder to see population and property impacts at various sea-level thresholds. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
