9. This will happen in multiple places affected by climate change

Not just Florida. So yes, especially other places where sea level rise will be an issue and adaptation measures aren't being taken; where water scarcity will be an issue (the Southwest); and where flooding will be an issue due to greater severity of storms. Eventually we'll see depopulation in those areas as well, especially, IMHO, in the Southwest and in low lying coastal areas of southern states.

Florida, however, seems to be one of the worst examples of people whistling past the graveyard when it comes to what we'll see with climate change.

Oddly enough, we may see repopulation of the Rust Belt. The Great Lakes region starts to look pretty good when you start to consider the effects of climate change.
