I’d say maybe he was assuming we’d address climate change or he’d simply move by 2061 when he turns 100.
Miami is only 6 feet above sea level so it will be gone before his house. Once Miami floods climate change deniers will have a more difficult time convincing people they are right. But I’m betting the limits of denial are boundless.
In the meantime, sounds like a great house.

Yes, the earth has had countless cycles of heating and cooling which preceded and had nothing to do with humans. That does not preclude the possibility that the current changes we are observing are anthropogenic.
That’s like saying “the wind has blown my screen door open in the past. Therefore if I hear it open today, it is impossible that it’s because a person entered”.
The most grating part is how smugly this ridiculous argument is put forth, as though the debate has just been decisively settled.
Don't concede that point. 50 years ago the decreasing temperature over time was written about in a pop science article (by a journalist) not peer reviewed science (although scientists were quoted). The magazine covers claiming it was a major story were modern photoshops - the article was on page 64.
The song is tired old music.

A million Americans unnecessarily died from Coronavirus. That should have been a wake up call.
