Rolling Stone Article Says Goodbye To Miami Prematurely, Climatologist Says | WLRN

Remember the link to this Rolling Stone article that I posted a few weeks ago? Here is another view from someone with some climatological credentials and is worth reading. Click title for link. From the article:

My problem with the Rolling Stone article is its depiction of too much, too soon and the lack of any sign of hopefulness as to things that can be done to mitigate or adapt to the expected impacts. The article paints us as a bunch of hedonists who deserve our lot and may as well pack our suitcases and head to Colorado like Noah’s Ark to Mount Ararat. Why bother to write our elected representatives to demand action, or elevate our concern as voters to the level of other issues such as the economy? Why join in community efforts to adapt and mitigate? The article emphasizes the extremes of what could happen without pointing out how unlikely they are to happen or to happen as quickly as suggested.
