The New York Times: “Will Climate Change Transform the Florida Dream?”
A major RFF report, the Florida Climate Outlook, is mentioned in this newsletter about Florida's reckoning with sea level rise and intense storms.
Scientists expect sea levels to rise several feet in some parts of Florida by the end of the century, according to a report by Resources for the Future, a nonprofit research group. That could lead to the displacement of millions of people and untold billions of dollars in damages, and it is prompting Miami to consider building a 20-foot sea wall to keep the rising tides at bay.
