Seawater Now Six Miles Inland In Ft. Lauderdale Aquifer; Amazing South FL Video (Climate Crocks)

[hatrack]

?t=418

Above, my video about the effects of sea level rise in South Florida is the most popular entry in the “This is Not Cool” series from Yale Climate Connections.

The vid features an interview with Rolling Stone writer Jeff Goodell, who has been writing prolifically on climate change and sea level, and had just published a piece on the vulnerability of Miami to rising seas.

Anyway, heads up, I just talked to Jeff yesterday following his insightful play-by-play from the Paris Climate negotiations in November/December of last year. I’ll be combining that interview with reactions from major scientific players that I was lucky enough to record just days after the Paris agreement was announced. That vid should be coming out next week, fingers crossed..

Meanwhile, on the campaign trail, a group of hard-pressed local officials from South Florida have been clamoring for Climate denying GOP candidates to at least acknowledge the sea water that is sloshing up around their collective ankles. Good luck to them.

1. kick, kick, kick.....

This should be our number one priority, unfortunately until we deal with our money addicts we won't be able to do much.

2. I've heard it is harder to live without potable water.

3. Shocking!

Who knew?

What I really like was the insertion of part of a jingly shiny real estate promotion video into the Climate Crocks clip. A heady mix of irony and cluelessness, served piping hot on a gleaming platter!
