Anthropogenic Climate Change & Sea Level Rise in Miami
WHAT’S HAPPENING?
Location: Miami Main Idea: Human activities are driving climate change, leading to rising sea levels that are flooding coastal cities like Miami. Key Human Causes: Burning fossil fuels (cars, power plants) Deforestation Industrial emissions
WHAT’S BEING DONE?
Local Solutions: Installation of high-capacity water pumps Raising roads and buildings Building sea walls and barriers Improving stormwater drainage systems Long-Term Efforts: Transition to renewable energy Climate adaptation planning Reducing greenhouse gas emissions
GLOBAL CONNECTIONS
Bangladesh – coastal displacement
Venice – frequent flooding
Jakarta – rapidly sinking city
