Bill Nye: ‘What Is the Economic Cost’ of People Abandoning Their Mortgages After Fleeing Global Warming?

‘But the middle class and lower income class in Miami cannot afford to have their cars flooded once a month’

RUSH EXCERPT:

NYE: “That's not clear about Central America but it is clear about Florida. There's two cities. Miami and Miami beach. People in Miami beach are quite wealthy and can afford have so-called mitigation sea walls. But the middle class and lower income class in Miami cannot afford to have their cars flooded once a month or wheel wells flooded once a month and they're going to move north in Florida. Are they going to abandoned their mortgages? What is the economic effect of that? It's far reaching. And I understand it's very troubling for a lot of us to think a human species, just a few people on the Earth C C somehow change the climate of the entire world but we're doing it. And the effect may be less apparent because your neighbors are so far away but it's happening.”
