Flooding everywhere.
That said, the loss of life in Guatemala and their horrific landslides look like the worse of both Zeta and Eta.

Between the flies on their heads and this, I think we can say God is watching.

Scientists predict severe damage may come sooner rather than later if the U.S. abandons the international agreement aimed at curbing emissions of heat-trapping gases that cause climate change.

"His properties live off of tourism — golfing communities, places where fat cats go and spend money and hobnob. It's all related to the tourism economy in South Florida," said Jim Cason, the Republican mayor of Coral Gables, a small city south of Miami that is aggressively planning for sea-level rise.

Trump's 123-room Mar-a-Lago mansion and private club sit on a barrier island with the Atlantic Ocean to the east and Florida's Intracoastal Waterway to the west. If the sea level climbs by 2 or 3 feet in this century — an amount that falls squarely within scientists' predictions — that would push seawater onto the mansion's western lawns. Nearby roads and bridges used to access the property would also be affected.

At some point this century, water is expected to completely cover many of the state's barrier islands, especially during storms.

Trump's beloved National Doral Miami golf course is inland, but it's still at risk. As seas rise and Florida's water table rises, state geologists predict Florida's porous limestone geology will allow water to easily percolate upward, flooding inland and coastal areas alike. If the course isn't severely damaged by flooding, there will be more days when it's too swamped for golfers.

He is a multi millionaire, and an environmental engineer. I set him up with an agent in the area. He went down to look at property. He came back laughing, saying "that whole area will be underwater in 10 years."
