Florida's Climate Crisis: "The Water's Coming and We Can't Stop It."

The Florida Keys sit at the frontlines of the climate crisis, where porous limestone meets rising seas. Plans to elevate the height of the roads and save homes won’t save everyone. Near Miami, last week’s tragic building collapse has some wondering whether climate change played a role? There, too, buildings sit on sinking limestone amidst rising seas. About a decade ago, gentrification also changed the Keys landscape, and now, like Miami’s Little Haiti neighborhood, climate gentrification has as well.
