Americans, and Floridians in particular, are about to face one of the first truly monumental and undeniable manifestations of climate change as hurricane Milton makes landfall.
A manifestation so powerful that no amount of thoughts, prayers, and burying one’s head in the sand can shield oneself from its effects. The only hope is to evacuate, flee as far away as possible from its path, and become a climate refugee, even for a few days or weeks.
When the proverbial dust settles, and people eventually return to their homes, they’ll struggle to identify which slab of concrete was once theirs, among a barren moonscape from which all wildlife will have been violently erased.
Most residents will rebuild, insurance premiums will go up, and life will pretend to return to some normalcy until the next Cat 5 turns up, probably much sooner than legacy probabilistic models would have anticipated. 10 replies
