    The death of all the coral in Florida.

    It was front-page news where I live a few days ago but not a blip of it could be seen anywhere else.

    It’s easily the most important news of the past two months and will negatively affect life on the planet anywhere but fuck all if humans outside of a local area could bring themselves to give a shit.

      I hate to inform you that corals are dieing all around the world, not just in Florida.

      Fellow Floridian here. I hope we can get someone better after DeSantis’ term limit is up. We live in one of the most climate change prone regions and a region where environmental changes mean a great deal.
