The phenomenon that cannot be spoken; salt water intrusion moves inland in south Florida

The Daily Kos has a really good read, accompanied by a video that tells of the current effects of sea level rise in south Florida caused by climate change.

Except that they can't SAY that. So they call it salt water intrusion. Check out the link here:

They even talk about how someone SLIPPED UP and said the words 'climate change.'

Pretty sick.

Oh well at least their ignorance will result in good eats for the critters!

So when Fl goes underwater does it still get to remain a state?

massive research grant given to florida universities to see who can be the first to modify humans for gills.

Smart Floridians will be selling and moving, if they can.
