Too hot to handle: Crumbling US infrastructure melts under excessive heat

Coastal cities are sinking even faster as they draw out ground water and the ocean rises around them.

Coastal cities are already sinking

Satellite data shows land is subsiding even faster than sea level is rising.

This is their "Don't look up" moment in real life.

They are talking about the same heat dome where the sea life was cooking in the ocean - not THAT hot?...

What's 1 billion dead sea creatures from a single heat wave?
Next thing they'll be whining about the birds that dropped from the sky in India during their heat wave.

Just remember, you can't count that as part of the costs of using fossil fuels.

Granted, if you did a gallon of gasoline would have gone for $100 in 1947...

Yeah, the West Side Highway is underwater just as Al Gore predicted 30 years ago. Oh, wait...

It's interesting that these climate change deniers see what is going on and think nothing of it. California is in a severe drought. Wildfires are hitting the west coast more frequently and doing significantly more damage than ever before. There appears to be more tornadoes and hurricanes, and both seem to be getting stronger. But sure, turn a blind eye to this. It might already be too late.

The other thing is, both US parties have ignored the crumbling infrastructure for decades. Biden has finally done what Trump kept talking about, and is investing serious money into building and repairing vital systems and what not.

You don't want a frog in your pot either, man...

True, you'd never want to boil your frog's legs.

Michigan has probably some of the worst roads in America, yet the state republicans who control the state Senate & House only want to cut taxes. While Ohio spends about 4 times as much on roads, even when the republican governor wanted to increase spending on roads, the state republicans balked. The Michigan Governor wanted to help fund the new international bridge Det/Windsor, the republicans balked. They don't want to do anything, except talk about cultural issues and relax gun laws.

And of cousre there is no cost associated with the droughts and fires and hurricanes and tornadoes etc.
