Miami will likely be underwater before the Senate can muster enough votes to meaningfully confront climate change.

.. and this is a bad thing WHY?

Miami will likely be underwater before the Senate can muster enough votes to meaningfully confront climate change.

Confronting a delusion by refusing to base any action on it isn't meaningful? How does this dude focus on typing while his hair's on fire?

Miami can go all Venice on us, and build its new structures using the foundations and first couple of floors as their new base, while using boats as surface transportation.

There is precedent for building a city up from its old foundations, and making the first floor into basements. Most of downtown Chicago is constructed just that way - the sidewalks were vaulted, and a new sidewalk was built on the top of that vault, with access to the SECOND floor as the entry. Vast amounts of earth and stone were brought in to raise the street levels to that of the second floor, but the old “underground” still exists, beneath the sidewalks.

Since Miami will never be underwater due to GW, this is a good thing.
