Miami has streets with water constantly but the media does not mention it. Global Warming is real!
“There has been a rise of about 10 inches in sea levels since the
19th century – brought about by humanity’s heating of the planet through
its industrial practices – and that is now bringing chaos to Miami
Beach by regularly flooding places like Alton Road,” says Harold Wanless,
a geology professor at Miami University. “And it is going to get worse.
By the end of this century we could easily have a rise of six feet,
possibly 10 feet. Nothing much will survive that. Most of the land here
is less than 10 feet above sea level.”
Thus one of the great cities of the world faces obliteration in the
coming decades. “It is over for south Florida. It is as simple as that.
Nor is it on its own,” Wanless admits.
“The next two or three feet of sea-level rise that we get will do
away with just about every barrier island we have across the planet.
Then, when rises get to four-to-six feet, all the world’s great river
deltas will disappear and with them the great stretches of agricultural
land that surrounds them. People still have their heads in the sand
about this but it is coming. Miami is just the start. It is worth
watching just for that reason alone. It is a major US city and it is
going to let itself drown.”
