Didn't Al Gore state that by 2020 the state of Florida would be underwater?

Is that the 2020 photo? Because I don't see the whole state under water there.

Potential effects, you say? So he didn't say Florida would be under water by 2020?

But that runs contrary to the OP

The original post isn't mine. While Gore didn’t say “Florida will be underwater by 2020,” the presentation and tone led many viewers (and critics) to interpret it that way. As he intended.

You're full of shit. Just another lying sack of shit.

Have some warm milk and take a nap, gramps.

Yes, .many people misinterpreted his presentation, including the OP, who continue to bring up their misinterpretations as part of their grievance porn.

Florida is implementing various strategies to address sea level rise and saltwater intrusion, including developing decision-support systems for local governments to make informed land use and infrastructure choices. Additionally, initiatives like mangrove restoration and enhancing natural protections are being prioritized to reduce flood risks and protect freshwater supplies.https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/ip3/www.miamidade.gov.ico miamidade.govhttps://external-content.duckduckgo.com/ip3/news.ufl.edu.ico University of Florida

Florida's Response to Sea Level Rise and Saltwater Intrusion​

Key Initiatives​

Florida is implementing several strategies to address the challenges posed by sea level rise and saltwater intrusion. These initiatives focus on both immediate and long-term solutions.

• Decision-Support Systems: A $1 million grant has been awarded to develop a decision-support system. This tool will help local leaders make informed choices about land use and infrastructure to combat flooding and saltwater intrusion.
• Nature-Based Solutions: The project emphasizes restoring mangroves and wetlands. These natural systems act as buffers against storm surges and help maintain freshwater supplies.

Local Government Actions​

Miami-Dade County is actively working on its Sea Level Rise Strategy. This includes:

• Adaptation Action Areas (AAAs): These designated zones focus on enhancing resilience against flooding and sea level rise.
• Flooding Vulnerability Viewer: This tool allows residents to assess their neighborhoods' risk levels related to flooding and storm surges.

Future Projections​

By 2040, sea levels in Southeast Florida are expected to rise by 10 to 17 inches compared to the year 2000. This increase poses significant risks to infrastructure, freshwater supplies, and the overall economy.

Community Engagement​

Local governments are collaborating with scientists and community members to ensure that adaptation strategies are practical and effective. This approach aims to balance environmental needs with community realities, ensuring sustainable development in the face of climate change.



It seems like Florida recognizes there IS a problem…



We. Told. Them. So.

Bullshit. Seas will NOT rise 17 inches in 15 yrs. You’re puffi’n some serious pipe if you believe that.

So Little Arnold “Al” Gore told us in his Scary Movie that the oceans would rise 20 FEET…you read that right…20’. He noticeably gave himself an out and didn’t say when this aqua apocalypse would engulf us.

So, NASA has a tracker that keeps tabs on the ocean. It dates back to right around the time Little Al was sworn in as Veep. It shows in that year the sea rose 6mm…basically four pennies stacked. Chalk one up for Little Arnold.

During 2010-2011? Oh no…a sharp decline of 9.1mm…or a stack of six pennies. Take one off the table for Arnold.

So averaging out these rises and falls (something that’s been going on for eons…) the trend works out to be a less than the thickness of two quarters over 30 yrs. The next 100? About 13 inches. Basically a King tide. In perspective, NASA reports the ocean rose over the last 120 odd yrs 8 inches.

So while you Killer Furries are wetting your panties, the world will deal with this “rise” (and fall) by building dikes and dealing with any real problems like the Dutch have for centuries….

just curious, not sure if I'm walking around the house or swimming, as we know DEMOCRATES are ALWAYS right

No, he did not say that. He was presenting a worst-case scenario.

There are very few polio cases because we've taken the necessary measures to make sure it didn't become the plague.

Why are you idiots too dumb to realize that Al's histrionics might have saved the entire fucking planet?
