Melting of the Thwaites Glacier could rewrite the global coastline

Had they not politicized Climate changed and supported the science, we would be in a different place now.

And if lunatic fringe like Susan Sarandon and other like-minded idiots had supported the DEMOCRAT instead of third-party Nader and Stein (and encouraged others to do so as well) the world would be a different place. In the face of the RW threats, there's only ONE party who can keep them out of office, and it's not the Greens or any other. We have a defacto two-party system and when it comes to national elections... only ONE of two parties will end up in the White House... yet the egos and vanity (and resentment) of folks like Sarandon, Moore, West (and others who think Democrats are a "bowl of shit'') continue to compel them all to sabotage and kneecap Democrats.

And Al Gore won! I hate that universe. That's not quite right. I envy that universe. People in authority who respect science made so much difference there, not just for climate change, but fighting pandemics as well.

This kind of thinking always sends me down the rabbit hole of "what ifs." What if John F. Kennedy had ducked before that third shot? We'd have colonies on Mars by now.

You're right that we should learn not to pay attention to the distractions of third party candidates. I learned that lesson in 1980 when I foolishly voted for John Bayard Anderson. A wise friend explained the futility of that vote. It didn't really matter in 1980. Reagan won by a lot, 9.7% of the popular vote and 489 to 49 in the electoral vote.

… ignoring their grandchildren’s future is nothing to sweat over

Much less the human race

Before our property becomes Oceanfront.
We're on the coast, only 52'6" above sea level now.
Moving inland to 1600'+ above.

When it melts it will rewrite the global coastline.

The ice shelf may break off within five years. That doesn't raise sea level several feet right away. It hardly raises it at all. What it does is begins the process of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet pouring into the ocean. That will still take decades more. By 2100, we may see all that sea level rise. In the next five years, we may see an inch or two of sea level rise. After that, the rate of rise will increase year after year, until the East Antarctic Ice Sheet is mostly gone (it's much bigger than the West), then the rate of rise will slowly decrease until we reach a new equilibrium.

I expect Miami to survive another fifty years, but not a hundred and fifty.
