Sea-Level Rise Inundating Florida

Here’s an article that adds new insight into Southern Florida’s plight when it comes to flooding.

Sea-level rise accounts for a great deal of this, to be sure, almost a foot to date, far more than the coastal average. But as the water table rises, the wet stuff pushes up through the porous limestone and creates even greater flooding.

Building sea-walls sounds like a potential remedy, but they may wind up trapping water that otherwise would have drained back into the Atlantic.

Is it ironic, or is it karma, that Florida, a state known for its climate deniers, is slowing going away?
