Hurricanes and rising seas are displacing caskets. What do you do when the climate crisis comes for the dead?

    I’d say there’s likely a public health concern with water and dead bodies mixing, at the very least.

      eh, animals die in the water in nature…

        Drinking that or getting that into a wound is how you get sick, and my point entirely.

        Corpse tea is not good for your health

          Don’t drink the sea water. It’s already a bad idea.

          There is an expression in research “dilution is the solution to pollution”. The parts per billion exposure (but probably even lower) contamination that you might experience is not a public health crisis. You have drinking water in states contaminated with carcinogens. Ain’t nobody got time to worry about seawater interfacing with a dead body.

            You’re right, we should just ignore it, it’s probably fine.
