Is it time to stick a fork in DeSantis?

Both are gross to visit in the summer, but Florida is just as bad unless you are on the coasts (Atlantic side is bearable with a nice breeze). I can't find a monthly stat, but Q1 appears to be the busiest, followed by Q3.

They are saying water temp is 95 degrees now. That just won't bring relief from heat. Damn good thing global warming is made up, could one imagine how hot it would be if it were?

I was just reading a Frommers saying northern and central Florida are busier in the summer as families vacation, in the winter southern Florida where one can guarantee no cold. They share shoulder months of April/May and September/October.

It's a common right wing talking point that families moved to red states 'because of lockdowns'.

Well if true than you better move fast, get your house on the market or take a penalty on your rent, box all your shit up, find a new place to live and have your children be the awkward newbies at their new school having to start their social life from scratch.

When you finish your move, the temporary lockdowns were probably over.

Speaking of school, the top states with the highest rated public school systems are majority blue states (particularly east coast) so why are you taking your kids out of better schools? That seems dumb.

Speaking of economics, blue counties make up over 70% of the US GDP. So if you're leaving for red counties, well hopefully you are able to work remotely.

Common sense is there have been recruiting tactics for red states to provide an appealing economic opportunity, which is the #1 reason why families move.

Now granted, I give the right credit on painting city life as a hell scape because you probably have a better chance of getting a conservative to move out of a liberal city than to get a liberal to move into a rural community.

Meaning yeah, there are a shit ton of liberal millennials and gen z coming through over the next two decades but, it doesn't mean much if the majority move to cities.

The popular vote could be 20 million in favor of the libs but it won't matter if cities end up having 90% of the population (it's currently around 80%)..

So your real aversion to people moving is because it can be inconvenient?

The rest of this is off topic.

Again you’re painting some caricature of an overly political dad who made a rash decision to force his wife and teenage kids into worse schools and worse job prospects because of lockdowns.

In reality the type of people with money necessary to move were probably very calculated in their decision.

Like I said in my OP the next decade will be interesting. I’m hoping the Cali, NY, IL population loss continues. It sends a strong message on poor democratic governance.

Assuming Trump is right and the election was stolen from him. What is the plan to make sure it doesn’t happen again?

What is he doing in AZ, MI, PA, WI & GA to make sure Democratic operatives on the ground don’t go into their same bag of tricks?

I would like to hear an answer to this question from those who are confident he can win a General.

Republicans are talking about going all in on vote harvesting and mail-in ballots.

I think you'll see a lot more of that, but it's yet to be seen.

Does it matter. If the earth is warming naturally, does it make sense for humans to add to it? I you were out working on a 100 degree day, would you want to add a heater that raises it to 101?

The scientists largely attribute 100%. I just saw an article that it is as likely that manmade is 160% as it is 50%. But let us pretend they are wrong and we are only 50%. What kind of difference can we make on that 50%?

Here is good news, if we are 100%, we can make the world a better place for your children and my grandchildren. If it is 100% natural, they have very rough times coming.

you will never convince people of global warming when they believe politicians over scientists/medical professionals etc.

Given that it is better to be safe than sorry, it would be better to err on the side that humans do have an effect on global warming and do whatever helps reduce that effect.

If we are wrong then oops we have a more sustainable energy source. If they are wrong then it is a big f u to our future generations who will be the ones dealing with the worst of it.

Insurance is bolting because the surface temp of the ocean is hitting high 90's at the southern tip and overall is around 5 degrees warmer than average.

Bean counters know what a consistent rising ocean temp means for hurricane season.

Desantis said they were being woke, of course.

Again I have no idea what is ever going to convince people that we're getting consistently hotter than when what, 4 top insurance companies won't even offer any home coverage.

They know. It's not woke. That's a clown response from him (which is his go to response for everything it seems).

Put it another way, this is probably going to be one of the coolest summers over the next 25 years.

This is the kind of shit that's killing DeSantis. 75 year-old Floridians may buy into the nonsense that Farmers (and other carriers) are pulling out of Florida because the companies are "woke," but anyone with half a brain understands that insurers are in business to make money. They'd love to keep collecting premiums from Floridians but they won't underwrite if the risk is too great.

Say it is man made. Here is your problem:

Developing Countries Are Responsible for 63 Percent of Current Carbon Emissions

Sixty-three percent of annual emissions are produced by developing countries. The economic growth behind that is a very good thing, but it has a dangerous side effect—carbon emissions.

www.cgdev.org

Developing countries are responsible for 63% of total carbon emissions. The US is 13%. China and India combined are 28% of emissions with China being the bulk of that. China alone produces more carbon emissions than the US and and the EU combined.

"So what?" you will say, "We can still make an impact on our end and do what we can." OK, yes we can. However, that is where the disagreements lie. Access to energy, particularly cheap energy, is a major contributor to how "comfortable" life is for people on the planet right now. The US has made extraordinary strides to clean up our emissions. We can continue down that path and try an make an impact on global warming (something I am not convinced is wholly or even majority man made) without doing some of the drastic things being proposed. The GOP released a plan to plant more trees. Plants are the ultimate CO2 filters.

Anyways, there is always the social justice push attached to this conversation:

It is unfair to push poor countries to reach zero carbon emissions too early | Brookings

At the 2022 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Egypt, countries will gather to discuss how to reach net-zero carbon emissions targets. One issue will be whether developing countries should be expected to achieve the same targets as the wealthier high-emitting countries.

www.brookings.edu

It isn't fair to ask the people contributing nearly 2/3 of the carbon emissions to cut back so you are only looking to reduce 1/3 of the emissions down to 1/4? The developing countries have a point as well, why should we continue to not use our resources to pull our people up as you had done? That's a fair question.

If we get clean energy to work and AGW is wrong, we are stuck with a cleaner planet. I guess that's too high price to pay, forced to have a cleaner planet against our will.

If we get it to work and AGW is correct, we have a cleaner planet and reduce warming. That seems ok to me.

What we've all become are the kids that failed the marshmallow test. Recall the old psychology experiment, kids were told they could have their favorite treat in 15 minutes, or not their favorite right now? Many kids lacked self-control. That's who we are, we lack the self-control to absorb any current pain for future gain. I know some of what people suggest is scary, and even I am not a "let's do it all and do it now" person. But the more we do, the better. It's why I support nuclear, there are concerns but it reduces AGW so we need to do it.

Just like Social Security, the sooner we dealt with the problem the less of a course correction we needed to make. It is our way not to do anything until the only option is panic. In the 1980s, Shell and Exxon both had studies showing AGW was real. Those are two companies definitely not concluding AGW is real to make more money. If we had started investing better then everything would have been easier.

And you hit the problem. It is true that we used coal and oil to get rich, so why can't modern poor countries do that? The answer is we have to help them not. China is a tough nut, obviously, we aren't going to help China.

China and India are building nuclear plants quite rapidly. I am sure we can help India, again, no way we are helping China (not my idea, just the real politik). I suspect there are areas of Africa we could provide nuclear power to. South Africa is the only nation in Africa with nuclear power. I would think we could provide help in putting reactors in stable countries. Botswana is a very stable country, it could start exporting electricity to neighbors.

It is true, a nation that can't feed its people is going to struggle to put in solar panels. The West can find ways of helping. China and Russia jumped ahead of us on nuclear power in Africa, we are trying to catch up.

DeSantis went on Jake Tapper last night. Tapper is mostly fair compared to his CNN counter parts but still by far the most hostile interview he’s accepted since announcing. Next week he’s going on Megyn Kelly, another who will press him.

Hopefully this is a build up to taking on more hostile media hits. He is smarter than these people, he had the track record. Take the fight to them.

The next nominee will be a fighter, and Trump still is viewed as the most aggressive fighter.

Timing may be a bitch . . . but it is what it is. There are other potential ways to compensate for the loss of development using one's own "resources".

They will offer free lawn service (mowing, tree trimming, minor landscaping) as incentives. It's worth it to the realtor, if your customers are concerned about living next to dullards.
