If conservatives really believe Climate Change isn't real....

shouldn't they move all their think tanks, media empires, personal homes to and invest heavily in the real estate in FLORIDA?

So should the oil, gas, and coal companies and their execs who pay for climate change denial.

They could probably get some bitchin' deals on the property of the eggheads and lefties worried about the state losing 99% of it's surface area.

They should put their money where their mouths are.

That's their denial angle.

We've had:

- A magnitude 5.5 earthquake
- Torrential rains that resulted in mudslides
- Hurricane like winds that brought on destructive fires and tons of debris flying

And all not at the same time either.
