Miami will likely be underwater before the Senate can muster enough votes to meaningfully confront climate change. And probably Tampa and Charleston, too—two other cities that last week's National Climate Assessment placed at maximum risk from rising sea levels.
Even as studies proliferate on the dangers of a changing climate, the issue's underlying politics virtually ensure that Congress will remain paralyzed over it indefinitely. That means the U.S. response for the foreseeable future is likely to come through executive-branch actions, such as the regulations on carbon emissions from power plants that the Environmental Protection Agency is due to propose next month. And that means climate change will likely spike as a point of conflict in the 2016 presidential race.

Three feet before I do. :)
Doesn’t matter — it’s already too late.
I heard that on the news.
And the entire country will be underwater if the congress does act.
I am guessing you have beach front property already. ;)
Excellent, that sums it all up right there
Ronald Brownstein’s feeling is IF congress doesn’t move fast enough the President can do whatever the hell he wants to do?
When we have a Republican President will Ronald Brownstein understand defunding the IRS, EPA, and Homeland is ‘taking too long’ because the democrat “Congress (is) deluged by partisan polarization and money from interest groups”... or will Brownstein assume democrats are acting on principle when they attempt to block us?
My guess is Ronald Brownstein lacks the wit to apply a single standard... that for him it will be one standard for his beloved democrat President and a much different standard for a Republican President. The guy’s a biased fool.
Will the EPA fine DWS for the amount of grease from her hair released into the ocean?
One thing that will blow your mind - it did mine. You can be driving somewhere near Coral Gables or someplace and go over a little bump in the road - and there’s a sign post indicating that this is the “highest point” in Miami. Take home message - Miami (and by extension all of that SF area) is flat as Rachel Corrie post bulldozer.
Really? Well everyone needs to stop breathing, that is one of the causes, all that carbon dioxide that humans produce by breathing. These assclowns need to be arrested for all the propaganda they create. Once again destroying this country and its ability to lead the world.
Send Hillary, Feinstein, Boxer and Pelosi there quick! The ocean can’t get through those dykes!
In September 1947 the US government experimented with dropping Silver Iodide and dry ice into a storm to divert it, result more H2O and South Florida WPB County to Dade County submerged for days. My 12th birthday was days after it hit Ft. Lauderdale.
The Cracker house my family lived in(Miami) was 4 feet above ground and we were still flooded. Ft. Lauderdale had 4-6 feet of water over it and all Broward County. Broward County flooded and the FEC RR rails were the only thing above water in most places.
Many cows, Broward to Osceola Counties, standing in the rain actually died of hypothermia.

Ok, I’ll sign on to that deal. When Miami is underwater, I’ll take AGW seriously. If and when.
LOL!
It will no doubt exponentially exceed the BP spill .
Miami will be underwater!
Yet those who push GW won’t debate it in public.
These people could possible be arrogant enough, but I seriously doubt any of them REALLY think if the world was in such a state as to where Miami would be under water even in hundreds of years, anything they could do could prevent it. All this is simply a plan to siphon money off the low information public. At that, they may succeed.
I’m curious. What actions could Congress take that would be meaniful? Or would it merely be feel good legislation? What could humans do that would stop or reverse the perceived global warming? It would be a shame that we could depopulate and deindustrialize back to the Stone Age only to discover that our impact on climate was insignificant. Climate is going to change on its own. It did before men roamed the Earth,

Ha...More like Miami frozen over.....around 2016/2017 when the Sun stops producing sunspots and we enter a second Maunder Minimum.
