As the Earth's temperatures are rapidly increasing, concerns for the consequences of climate change are becoming more and more important. Because of the increased green house gas emissions and other issues that have caused the Earth to see a warming, sea levels all around the world are slowly, but constantly rising. In South Florida, sea levels are expected to rise about 6 feet by 2100. This is concerning because if we don't make efforts to reverse this, Florida could soon be completely under water.
Why is this such a problem for Florida?
If Florida becomes engulfed in water, residents will no longer be able to reside here. Not only that, but there will be a decline in the economy since all businesses in Florida will be forced to shut down and people will lose their jobs, money, homes, basically everything they have. Florida will no longer exist. But of course, before all that happens, Florida will experience years of flooding problems, forced evacuations, homelessness, unemployment, and more which could lead to a major contraction of the economy.
