    I wouldn’t worry about that. 20 years ago it was predicted by the “experts” that Miami would be under water a decade ago. Nothing has changed.

      Not the real experts, but “experts”. Meanwhile projections by the real experts for lots of other things have been too conservative. But it’s okay, Miami isn’t quite underwater yet. Those king tides though…I wouldn’t live there at this point, the writing is on the wall.

      When I was a kid, they said entire California would end up in the sea within a few years, since it’s on a earthquake fault line.

      That was 1990. :)

        Still don’t understand how people continue to “trust” the people who have a long history of predictions that never occurred. It always reminds me of a guy who pays to get “the special picks” for an NFL game. And for years the special picks guy hasn’t ever won a NFL bet

          People trust it because scientists make a model. They don’t think about that the model makes many assumptions and if any assumption is wrong, it fails.
