It's Hot, But Not Because of Global Warming
Research suggests that local land-use changes — urban development and draining wetlands — may be contributing more to local climate change than global warming. Florida’s top global warming scientists, including Harold Wanless, chairman of geological sciences at the University of Miami, agree that greenhouse gases don’t seem to be impacting Florida’s temperatures. When it comes to global warming, sea-level rise — caused by warming elsewhere, particularly the Arctic — is the chief threat to Florida. Wanless predicts Florida’s seas will rise three to five feet by century’s end. http://shafer-consulting.org
