More climate change stuff...it never ends...

didn't the Obamas buy a super McMansion in some island and near the coast?

i say Miami is going to be safe...they have great coastal engineers and the right people in charge.

USA has ~100,000 miles of coastline.......there's no other cities or anything else on the coast anywhere, right?

I guess evacuating New Orleans is out of the question then, huh?

Sounds like somebody had a little time on his/her/its hands and decided an opinion piece that checked all the current PC boxes would kill some of that time.

Hard to imagine how these people can take themselves seriously.

I don't know, when we lived in Miami ( for 36 years), we found that coral rock we lived on, porous as it was, made for excellent drainage. It could rain several inches in a couple hours, with standing water on the side streets, but that water would be gone in a matter of an hour or so, maybe less.

The porous coral rock also made for excellent drain field function for our septic tanks. And the water percolating from the drain field lines through the coral rock did a great job of cleaning it up.

Then there is the natural coral ridge that runs north and south along Old Cutler Road from around Key Biscayne south to Cutler Bay ( maybe further south than that). This ridge provides a natural barrier from the wave action of storm surges and other naturally occuring events.

Though that coral rock bed can make for miserable gardening. Trying to plant a tree can be a challenge.
