Cimate change is an existential threat.

"No it isn't"

Yeah, it is.

"moderately strong negative over time" is highly over-optimistic. "Not much will happen" is already in the rear-view mirror.

Miami Beach Flooding Has Increased Dramatically Over the Past Decade, Study Says

Since 2006, flooding in Miami Beach has spiked drastically, and a new study from the University of Miami used insurance claims, media reports and tidal gauges to determine just how wild the flooding has become.

In the last decade, flooding has gone up 400 percent from high tides and 33 percent from rain, according to the study, published this week in the journal Ocean and Coastal Management. The high waters are blamed on a regional sea level rise that's much higher than the global rate, a warning that waters can rise at different rates across the Earth.
