Miami Faces ClimatE Change
Impacts
Miami faces increased flooding
Expensive property continues to be sold
Higher temperatures means daily life is becoming more uncomfortable
There is no long-term plan to address this threat
Climate change ultimately poses a "threat to the state's economy," (Gallagher & Cattelino, 2020).
Wildlife is threatened as habitats are destroyed
Solutions
It is important to support laws that address the main causes of climate change. Supporting laws that protect wildlife and the environment is also essential.

Increased flooding destroys wetlands, which causes more severe flooding
Louisiana faces threats very similar to the ones Miami faces.
Both wildlife and residents are in danger.
Destruction of homes and property from storms
The low elevations of both makes climate change a severe issue.
Flooding puts life at risk
Where Else is this Happening?
