well, I guess some oaks are salt tolerant, but I think palms are there for a reason? And, is species diversity a new science?

And if Miami had never been built and palm trees would have been allowed to freely grow, then what? Left is utterly retarded, insane, and making flat-earthers look more and more sane with each passing day.

I guess what happened in TX escaped their attention.

It’s interesting how enviroweenies look at their own locale and extrapolate for the whole planet and take action based on that.

I fail to comprehend what /how palm trees affect the climate?
Make it cooler? warmer? Stop raindrops?
Will there be a shortage of coconuts?
Where will the monkeys hide?

I demand that the Miami Beach City Council plant at least 10% Giant Redwoods!

To reflect the diversity of our nation...

“ General guidelines for species diversity state that no family should make up more than 30% of a city’s tree population.”

Those palms are RACIST. They need more “diversity”.

I was of the understanding, scientifically speaking, that eliminating one’s “competition” and dominating other species was a biological imperative for flora and fauna.

SOLAR PANELS do more to cause adverse climate change than any other man made creation. The only reason we do not hear more about how destructive they are is because they make a lot of money for the select few.

Keep the trees - get rid of the solar panels.

Reminds me of an old Andy Griffith episode when a Hollywood producer wanted to make a movie in Mayberry. The mayor and the rest of the town wanted to celebrate by cutting down the old oak tree in the town square. In the end, the tree was saved, even though it never appeared again in any following episodes and seasons...

It’s like they forgot to take hurricanes into consideration. Palm tree don’t fall on a home but oaks sure will. Dummies!

How long has glowbull warming been alleged by the communists to have been going on? And, based on that answer, just how is it that Miami, at an average of just 6 ft elevation, isn’t already completely underwater? Since glowbull warming has been going on for a long time, and it is not already underwater, why should anyone believe it will be underwater in another 100 years?

There is a resort on the ocean in Honduras where my family used to vacation. Back in the late 90's a blight wiped out all the palm trees and it was weird to visit there and only beach front and some bushes remained.........

The last time we visited they were trying to replant the trees

[Lockbox]

You raise a valuable point, salt water intrusion has occurred in Miami Beach. The question of other trees tolerating salt water and surviving is very real point. So typical Lib, best intentions but clueless on reality.

A steady increase in sea levels is pushing saltwater into U.S. wetlands, killing trees from Florida to as far north as New Jersey.

Well, it keeps them busy from trying to fix hard, real problems.
