Welcome to beautiful tropical sunny Miami where people are literally underwater after it rained for 30 minutes
It’s going to be quite a bit different then what it is now we are going to be living with a lot more water no question about it
By 2100 the sea level has risen at least 5 feet in less than 80 years. The everglades, Biscayne national park and Miami Beach is submerged in the water and some days during high tide and storm surge miami’s had Rock stadium is submerged
People have this sense that as sea level rises that means there is going to be a flood water everywhere all the time that’s not really what happens what’s going to be happening I think over the next 30 years or so is you are going to see more days that there is going to be a flooding in front of your house (dr.)
By 2100 more than half a million Floridians have been forced to relocate due to regular flooding events marginalized communities and communities of colour have been hit hardest
The government has spent millions of dollars on stormwater infrastructure and rising roads and buildings and parks, golf course are used as temporary flood control system
The problem with Miami will leave on very porous limestone so you can’t put a dike or Levy around us for keep the water out it will come right up through the rock
People get around using and elevated metro rail system and extensive network of canals
Habitant loss and ocean acidification have devastated wild animal and Manatee populations for years florida’s politicians refused to acknowledge that human activity can affect the climate
It is not unanimous amongst scientists that it is disproportionately manmade.

Humans are not responsible for climate change in the way that some people out there are trying to make us believe.
Senator Marco Rubio on “Face the Nation”
Our activity affects the environment I don’t know to what extent I mean for example in South Florida I think we have a real serious problem with the increased flooding and the the higher water levels
Ron DeSantis Governor of Florida
