Rolling Stone: Goodbye, Miami - By century's end, rising sea levels will turn the nation's urban fantasyland into an American Atlantis. But long before the city is completely underwater, chaos will begin
"Miami, as we know it today, is doomed," says Harold Wanless, the chairman of the department of geological sciences at the University of Miami. "It's not a question of if. It's a question of when."

I did a one line requiem today at my blog for Ocean City, NJ check it out. Oh my blog is in the links here , it's called @ the Beach.
Payment is due, the bill collector is in the house and is getting bigger and nastier by the year. I live in the upper Hudson Valley, this area was once a lake and in a while it may look like that lake never left. Miami is built on Swiss cheese stone and so it's not about the water coming in through the ocean over engineered barriers, it's about the water literally percolating up through the ground. It's like plugging a massive dam that has a trillion holes in it and once you get them plugged 2 trillion more emerge.
