Someone at work said “If climate change is real, then why don’t rich people sell their beach properties?”

And before you ask, yes they are a boomer.

“Sell their houses to who, Ben? Fucking Aquaman?”

The phrasing made me think it was a Some More News reference and I’m pleasantly surprised to have something new to check out - thanks!

But they actually are... Down in Miami, wealthy people are fleeing the beachfront property and buying up housing where all the poor people live, which also happens to be further from the beach. There have been a number of documentaries and news segments on this trend which you can easily find on YouTube.

Oh it doesn't matter. They're just repeating the same old tired debunked points from other bigots that also think climate change is a scam. Nothing will ever convince these types of people.
