HISTORIC CLIMATE DEAL REACHED; CARIBBEAN GRATEFUL FOR SOME ELEMENTS

ELIZABETH KOLBERT, THE NEW YORKER (DECEMBER, 2015)
To cope with its recurrent flooding, Miami Beach has already spent something like a hundred million dollars. It is planning on spending several hundred million more. Such efforts are, in Wanless’s view, so much money down the drain. Sooner or later—and probably sooner—the city will have too much water to deal with. Even before that happens, Wanless believes, insurers will stop selling policies on the luxury condos that line Biscayne Bay. Banks will stop writing mortgages.
