I've mentioned this before. Masha Gessen says you know when you have moved from democracy to autocracy when you stop saying, "It can't happen here," and start saying, "It won't happen to me."

The opening of this article makes me think that there is some parallel comment that applies to the Florida Coast and rural much of California. Probably other places as we better see long-term climate impacts.

Something like...
You know climate change has become a problem when you stop saying, "It won't happen here" and you start saying, "We'll probably be okay."

> you start saying, "We'll probably be okay."

Or, "I won't live that long."

Ah yes. That's my dad. "Those are your problems now." 

But if I have his health, I might be around for another 30-40 years. 45 years ago my programming classes were on mainframes - Harris and DEC.
