I bought my house one block from the intercoastal in West Palm Beach in 2020. Nowhere in the contract or settlement papers or in mortgage or insurance documents is there anything about sea level rise. The bankers know it's a crock. You'd think they would want to protect their investment.

[@MariaMartinez-researcher]

Do you think that the bank cares about you losing *your* investment, as long as you keep paying your mortgage? What will happen when your property gets flooded? Any insurance? (Home insurance companies are leaving Florida) Won't they claim an act of God or something and pay little to nothing to you, while still expecting you to pay your mortgage? Don't you know this is happening to other people too, in many other coasts of the world?

[@dansul28]

Don’t worry, we live at the beach front since 45 years and all the same old pics and new pics looks the same. The only thing tho is during the month of November the water getting higher and looks like what they advertise in this video, but the water after 2 day receding and back to normal it happens sometimes same time at some years and not every year. You can see that at Hollywood beach exactly as what I say. So no worry.

[@bluegold21]

If you bought the house then it's not a bank investment. And if you had been paying attention to the people talking about global warming then you would have known not to buy in such a stupid location.

@MariaMartinez-researcher Look it up, researcher. It has gone up 8 inches since 1950, and it's currently going up an inch every three years. Also, if it averaged 1ft higher than 10 years ago, pretty much every dock down here would have had to be rebuilt.

[@markmallett7521]

Wow. So the sea level off the coast of Florida has actually dropped a few inches from a few years ago. I love the excuses for the drop. My solution for rising sea level? Move out of areas that are only a few feet above sea level to areas that are well above sea level. See, I just saved you from blowing billions of dollars for nothing. Common sense folks.

Incredible. You managed to do that whole report without mentioning climate change once. Pathetic.

Ikr. Only when they know how to monetize it, will they mention climate change. But of course, it helps the oil-grubbing profiteers to not mention that which will cut their profit margins. In the meantime, we will just have to live with water being the colour of aqua🤪

[@b.walker5955]

The worlds sea ports are in the same exact position they have been for 2000 years.

[@MariaMartinez-researcher]

Of course. However, climate change has not been occurring for 2000 years. It was prognosticated first by Exxon scientists in the 1970s (the company hid the research, Google it), later announced by regular climatologists, and became unmistakably evident just in the last 10 to 15 years. The large ports will still survive for a while, but islands like Ghoramara, Isle de Jean Charles, the Maldives, the places with low height above sea level, are already being eaten by the sea. Will you accept reality only when Fox News show Miami downtown flooded and finally say the words "the climate changed"?
