7. Water damage, landslide damage, along with heavy rainstorms, cause the mostly irreparable damage.

Meaning there will be no flood insurance (no one in Florida who pays premiums for flood insurance will be covered by "acts of God" climate events). No recompense for property lost. Migrations from coasts will be costly in jobs, education, shelter, health and safety.

Who runs this country will matter more than ever.

Flooding in Porto Alegre on 5 May ancianita May 2024 #4
Yikes! We have flooding here in New York as well, but fortunately nothing like this! Rhiannon12866 May 2024 #5
The fact that you're having flooding at all means that New York is getting "like this." ancianita May 2024 #6
Yikes! And it's not just in the City, but more frequently up North. There are flood warnings all the time. Rhiannon12866 May 2024 #8
Coastal flooding will happen sooner than predicted. ancianita May 2024 #13
Yes, this. People should be proactive not just sit in denial. Brenda May 2024 #16

Thanks! And, as I said, it's not just near the Coast, but Northern New York frequently gets flood warnings. Rhiannon12866 May 2024 #9
I'm so sorry that's happening. La Nina will also bring a lot more rain this summer. ancianita May 2024 #10
Well, I'm talking about the more rural Northern part of the state. Rhiannon12866 May 2024 #11
I see. I saw & read about Vermont. I always thought upstate NY was Adirondacks and Catskills. ancianita May 2024 #12
Thanks for the map. All the way to Maine and oh look California. Brenda May 2024 #17
I think we'll see clear, hard, obvious and unavoidable evidence worldwide by 2030. Non-believers will be as rare as TeamProg May 2024 #14
The way I see it... Think. Again. May 2024 #15
