So, I normally just try to ignore Seth Grossman. He's vile but let's face it, there's other fires that need to be put out before I spend energy on him but there is something I want to call attention to. Even if you're someone who buys into or ignores some if his ideologies 1/
if you live in South Jersey you can't afford to ignore his denial of climate change or his attitude towards flood survivors. Flooding is the new normal. There is no current buyback plan that gives fair value AND creates green spaces to address flooding. Would you just hand 2/
your property over to the government, Mr. Grossman? If yo have the finances to do so and just start over, God bless. But something tells me that in your "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" bull, you wouldn't under any circumstances just hand your property over to the govt & 3/
walk away from what you had worked to build. It isn't just the working families & retired seniors that live along our coast and just inland enough to experience sea level rise. It's small businesses and medical institutions that serve these communities. It's the ecotourism & 4/
wildlife that we both conserve and use for food independence. It's our farms where vegetation is adapting to extreme heat and oversaturated soil. You want to represent a district that depends on our land, sea and air more than any other district in NJ. Inundation is inevitable 5/
So my question is if you don't believe that government should intervene with climate change action and adaptation, how do you on preventing over 300,000 people from becoming climate refugees? 6/
