It's two back to back record breaking hurricanes, how much could it be climate change? how-much-could-it-cost

How long until a gulf hurricane and an atlantic hurricane meet over florida to battle it out like angry gods and finally render the penninsula uninhabitable?

I mean, it didn't happen exactly simultaneous like that, but the 2005 hurricane season was enough for me to leave forever and regard FL as uninhabitable.

I heard congress is going to outlaw the word “climate” when they come back to work in November.

If sports is okay - why can't Americans bet on the weather?

[-] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 11 points 1 month ago

Insurance companies do.

[-] Frank@hexbear.net 7 points 1 month ago

Can we bet on the weather? I don't really look at betting sites.

[-] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 7 points 1 month ago

I don't know anything about sports betting other than it exploded in size in the US after a supreme court ruling. I didn't know that until I saw some headlines and comments about it here. At this point if Trump wins - I won't be surprised if he created TrumpBetting.com and people were allowed to bet on not just Hurricane A vs Hurricane B but anything. He'd face instant lawsuits from the blue states but what would he care? AG Ted Nugent and FBI Director Kid Rock wouldn't exactly bring him to justice. They'd brag how much they, themselves, like to use the site.

Sure, you can bet on anything although this is technically just buying options I'm not really that financially smart to intuitively know how you'd profit off this beyond buying low selling high (unless you live in the hurricane landfall area lmao).

Could you put up your house so that if the hurricane wins, the rubble is somebody else's problem?

According to CHUD's Kamala is manipulating the weather to steal the election. Also the FEMA budget is going to "illegal immigrants" and foreign wars (that chuds will support as soon as Trump is in charge.)

Rather then try to win a swing state, you can simply destroy it.

[-] Pentacat@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago

Ignoring nature disasters in swing states is such a bold election strategy.
