Why are more skyscrapers being built in Miami if the area will be underwater in the future? (South Beach: oceanfront, house)

and all you need is NOAA's tide gauge for Miami to prove them all wrong....

This is so stupid. Miami will not be underwater. It may experience greater king tide flood events and storm surge threats from hurricanes. Flood control mitigations such as raising streets like they are doing in Miami Beach may be necessary in areas a few blocks from Biscayne Blvd.

• There is a political class which says the ocean will soon flood coastal cities.

• This political class is comprised largely of people who abandoned their native inland communities to live in coastal cities.

• This political class lobbies for population growth. All of Miami's (and America's) population growth comes from immigration. This political class viciously attacks and marginalizes anybody who calls for immigration restriction.

A reasonable person would not trust those people.

In the decades leading up to any serious threat of Miami being lost to the ocean, there will be a crazy frenzy around the world to visit the city before it's too late, resulting in an unprecedented boom. This surge in popularity will occur long before any actual danger, as people rush to experience Miami's unique attractions and culture. The city is likely to experience a significant economic upswing as a result, with businesses and tourism flourishing like never before during this pre-threat period.

Maybe we will become like Venice and people will get around in boats along the Brickell Canals.

So, it will take a while...
A rise of only 2 feet will cause 10% of South Florida to be under water and a rise of 5 to 6 feet will displace almost a third of Miami-Dade County’s current population.
The sea at the southern end of the Florida Peninsula has risen 1 foot since the 1990s and sunny day floods are four times more frequent today compared to 15 years ago.

No worries about the sea level rising...especially if you believe that inflation is transitory, if you believe that if you make less than $400,000 per year your taxes won't increase, if you believe that the border is secure AND closed, and if you believe you can keep your doctor! Besides, "What difference does it make?"

I will be 6 feet under ground long before Miami is under water.

Really? this was shown to you before.



About 8,740,000 results (0.60 seconds)



























Yes, sea level is rising at an increasing rate
In the United States, almost 40 percent of the population lives in relatively high-population-density coastal areas, where sea level plays a role in flooding, shoreline erosion, and hazards from storms.Jan 20, 2023


Is sea level rising? - NOAA's National Ocean Service

sea level rise is not static.....it goes up and down like a sine wave

always has....always will

cherry picking when the sine wave is going in one direction is lying

Shouldn't people instead be moving and leaving the area?

Why did the Obamas buy a McMansion in an island next to the waterfront?

Because they know that most climate alarmism is bullsh^t.

Anyone with a brain--and that includes FL developers and Dutch policy-makers and engineers--know it.
