"Them dirty poors > are stealing our hard-earned money! Taxation is theft by the state! Ack here > comes the sea, come save us mommy state! Glub, glub, glub..." I suspect even the farmers in the flyover states are starting to realize that their primary asset (acreage) can't be relocated if the local climate makes it "unproductive" ("Hey! Let's put up a WINDFARM!!") [Latest surveys continue to show increasing (US) belief in climate change... the differences seem to be who/how to deal with it: "MY assets should be protected but why should *I* have to bear that cost?"] Disney will be the Florida property to watch. Far enough from the coast to not be immediately threatened (and, able -- at some expense -- to move their "attractions" elsewhere) yet likely keenly aware that the long term play doesn't seem to be to remain in place... Insurers (folks whose money is where their mouth is) have already made that decision!
