It's all about political marxism, not the weather.

The level of something is rising in southern Florida all right, and it isn’t the ocean.

At this rate, the climate change/global warming scam artists should be drowning in their own bullshit by roughly the middle of 2018.

The weather singles people out by race, chases down and attacks them?

To all that don’t know, Miami, Miami Beach ,Ft. Lauderdale Beach were originally SWAMPS!
I personally know that west of SR7/441 in the 1950s was still locally considered Everglades. Where the Dolphins play(?), I used to hunt and fish. 1957 waterskied in canal(same area)to the end at what is now Flamingo Road. Great place to shoot Garfish!
There is a very narrow Hardpan(coral/limestone ridge running South to North from the Keys to above Jupiter that is the lynch pin of the”South Florida” area. East was/is barrier islands, West is sand prairie or swamp, that are now communities!

Well, just paint ‘em white so they’ll reflect the heat better.

"....African-American, Caribbean-American and Hispanic communities are typically located miles from South Florida beaches where climate change is most visible...."

I live in north central Florida and I'm whiter than the sand on the beach in the Florida panhandle.

Does this mean if I just drive the little over an hour to either coastline, I can see the impact of climate change that I can't see in the central part of the peninsula? Or do I have to be black or hispanic to see this climate change?

What does being white, black or hispanic have to do with the "visibility" of climate change, if there were such a beast?

I'm confused.

[Moltke]

there’s a growing awareness in minority communities of the implications of climate change.

Yes, in the sense that it's a great scam than can be milked for free goodies. Welcome to the party!

[EinNYC]

I can’t believe someone wanted to waste ink printing this load of tripe. It’s like they placed cards with all the hot buzzwords-—”black”, “Hispanic”, “climate change”, etc. on a table before them and then proceeded to write a “news” story using all those terms.

...“white tree huggers”...

I've never been to Florida. Is that where I can find all of those white trees?

World to end Thursday; woman, minorities hardest hit

[Organic Panic]

Surely transgengerds are hardest hit.

Also at the meeting was the US Congressman from the 2nd district (Florida), Alcee Hastings.

In 1988, the Democratic-controlled U.S. House of Representatives took up the case, and Hastings was impeached for bribery and perjury by a vote of 413-3. He was then convicted in 1989 by the United States Senate becoming the sixth federal judge in the history of the United States to be removed from office by the Senate.

Of course that didn't stop south Florida voters from electing him to the House of Representatives in 1993. Now he is drawn to the Climate Change money like a fly to manure.

What a surprise that article was——the rich have more than the poor.

As someone who grew up poor this really comes as a shock to me./s

The rain falleth on the just and unjust. Same with rising/falling sea levels.

Terrible. Relocate them to the Congo and Peru immediately!
