- Harold Wanless, chair of University of Miami’s geological sciences department, told National Geographic in 2013, "I cannot envision southeastern Florida having many people at the end of this century." In 2014, he said, "Miami, as we know it today, is doomed. It's not a question of if. It’s a question of when."
- Two feet by 2090 is not conservative. As KLRN points out, South Florida task forces “projected seas to rise anywhere from two to six feet by the end of the century” — last decade. The new findings discussed above make clear that the worst-case scenarios for sea level rise from the last decade have now become simply the “business-as-usual” scenario.
- Miami should be planning for sea level rise of 6 to 10 feet by century’s end and a foot per decade rise after that.
