“As Miami Keeps Building, Rising Seas Deepen Its Social Divide
Ignoring sea level rise and intensifying flooding, Miami has continued to build luxury real estate near the water at a rapid pace. But as developers eye higher ground, communities of color will likely bear the heaviest burden from the changes wrought by climate change.”
As Miami Keeps Building, Rising Seas Deepen Its Social Divide – Yale e360
That’s some batshit crazy website.
“Many plants may only survive in gardens”
“With sea ice melting,killer whales are moving into the arctic”
(not being able to measure sea ice extent being able to count killer whales in that region)
“Climate activism in the age of Trump”
“Saving US climate data before it goes away”
The most interesting thing is that the website
is 360.yale.edu instead of 360.yale.prop.
And this dudes math is all over the place.
Sea Levels have risen a foot since 1900s.
5 inches since 1993.
(almost half of sea level rise in 120 years occured during the last 27 years – an increase by roughly 300% for no reason)
It will rise 6 inches in the next 10 years.
(another increase by almost 300%)
2 feet by 2060
(another increase.This time by only 25% from 2030)
5-6 feet by 2100
(another 100%+ increase)
Coming up with a 20* increase of sea level rise from 1993- 2060 with no explanation why the increase is so volatile and
while the coastlines of Miami look the same as they did 60 and 100 years ago
and not a single word about sinking land levels is some real science.
And not a single take why so many rich people are so crazy to sink so much money into high risk areas and why Oceanfront homes there are twice as expensive as the US average.
Not the first time the zealot Left has inserted a blatant racism angle into the global warming issue. From the NewsHour’s Sep 30, 2023 “Why some areas of cities like Austin get way hotter than others during summer”
https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/why-some-areas-of-cities-like-austin-get-way-hotter-than-others-during-summer“:
NewsHour host John Yang: This summer, cities across the United States broke thousands of heat records, but in many of them some areas were hotter than others, what are known as urban heat islands …Blair Waltman-Alexin of Austin PBS in conjunction with Austin Vida has this report. …
Austin PBS’ Blair Waltman-Alexin: … Austin saw record breaking heat, but some areas of the city see hotter temperatures than others … So the city of Austin teamed up with researchers at the University of Texas to see exactly what was going on. What they found was higher temperatures in places with less greenery. This is called the urban heat island effects … Dr. Dev Niyogi is a professor of Geosciences and Engineering at the University of Texas at Austin
Dr. Dev Niyogi: .. when you measure the temperatures, you will get that there are blobs, which are much hotter, it will look like an island. And that’s why it gets referred to as an urban heat island. …
Blair Waltman-Alexin: Some of this can be traced back to redlining practices that started in the 1930s when the federal government labeled non-white neighborhoods as risky places to invest home loans. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, research shows that red line communities have less vegetative cover, higher temperatures, and increased health risks.
And I thought heat islands occured in wealthy regions in the 30ies.
They had asphalted roads, cars, densely packed huge heat absorbing buildings that prevent air circulation.
Seems poor people own those skyscrapers in NY..
Good to know.I want one too.
I’ll take building no 7 and 6 dancing guys
Building 1,2, and 7, the debris anyway, went into a Staten Island landfill. Hard to tell which one because Staten Island IS a landfill. The steel was immediately shipped to China to be melted down and recycled and then re-imported to the US. Maybe it’s now part of the Freedom (sic) Tower. The dancing guys, heroes all, were promoted up through the ranks of Mossad
