The Treasury Department is warning that state laws that restrict banks from considering environmental, social and governance factors could harm efforts to address money laundering and terrorism financing.
Maybe that’s the point.

Florida is a fucking existential risk
Not for too much longer.
The good news is Mar-a-Lago will be unplayable with only a one meter rise.
🫡 So long, Florida, and thanks for all the fish.
Support climate destruction to kill Florida? sssssss. Oooh.
It’ll be some time before we see 5 m of rise.
West Antarctic alone is about 3m, I don’t know how fast that goes, but without the buttressing of the shelf it’s inevitable (best case in 13ky, or in some hundred years). Either way, Florida better get smart about this, they should/could/would know what’s coming
Pretty sure a 5 meter rise isn’t possible. If it is, it won’t be in our lifetime.
3 meters is pretty doable in our lifetime. But it wasn’t the model 10 years ago so who knows where this speedrun will take us.
5 feet would inundate Miami.
A complete Greenland slide-off would be an average sea level rise of about 7m, and is possible in our lifetimes as an extreme event (something like a fraction of a percent chance before 2100). If it happened it would be multiple events really, spread out across years or decades. Antarctic ice moving so its weight is no longer supported by the continent was too unlikely to include in models a few years ago, but the West Antarctic has been so active that I’d expect it to start showing up in estimates.
Stop ruining everyone’s good time.
