Forecast
What's the Future of Sea Level Rise?

In the last decade, the speed at which Florida’s sea level is rising has increased and is now rising by as much as 1 inch every 3 years.2 Around Miami, it took around 31 years for the sea level to rise by 6 inches.2 Scientists now forecast that in just the next 15 years, the sea level will have risen by another 6 inches.7

Scientists are not certain how fast the ocean will warm and ice will melt. They expect water levels to continue to rise faster, but are not sure just how fast. Therefore scientists from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) have made predictions based on ranges from low to high.

Below you can see the range of the NOAA and USACE high and intermediate forecasts for various locations around Florida.8 Currently, the USACE high forecast, seen as the darkest red line, is the most likely projection.

Chuck doesn't believe in facts just fiction. Never has her own Pictures just cut and past. You have to wonder if chuck has ever left the house

[chuckChuck]

Is that your only argument Case?

Are the folks at Miami Dade County, NASA, NOAA, making this all up and the photo from the Miami Herald of flooding? All a hoax?

Don't look up!

They lost all credibility on any of these issues when they said they would balance the budget. Total bullshiters. Just wait til there is a real issue and no one believes they can handle it. 🙄

Apparently some Republicans in Florida do look up!

South Florida Republicans are fed up with their party leaders on climate change

For Jim Cason, the Republican mayor of Coral Gables, Florida, climate change is very real.

On a recent day he was looking at a newly drawn elevation map of his city of 50,000 on Florida’s Atlantic coast right next to Miami.

The map shows that big swaths of his city are already at, or barely above, sea level.

"One foot, zero, two feet," Cason said, pointing to the most vulnerable areas.

During very high tides these days, called “king tides,” streets in South Florida regularly flood.

About $3 billion in high-end real estate runs along the shore here, and Cason said the city has little power to protect it from rising waters.

“Other places can build walls, berms, sand dunes and so on. We’re on coral, which means the water will be coming up from the bottom,” he said in a recent interview.

“Building a wall is not a solution for our part of the country.”
