Hence, only half of the rise in Miami can directly be attributed to "global warming." The other half are due to local factors.

Right. Like a change in currents and/or wind patterns. Which, in turn, are affected by global warming.

Here is another example. Although the signals are conflicting, it may be that the thermohaline circulation may be shutting down due to changes in the climate, in particular the melting of Greenland. If the THC does shut down or significantly weakens, sea level could rise on the Northeast coast by 20 to 50 centimeters. Do you think that would make much difference to the population there? Would you consider climate change as the causal factor? Or does it get chalked up to "local factors"?

The literature doesn't support your theory.
