Abstract:: The world will be a very different place 50 years from now.Thanks in large part to centuries of spewing greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, we can expect higher temperatures, unstable weather patterns,and rising seas.For all who live or work in the Biscayne Corridor, those rising seas will pose unprecedented challenges, manyof which we’ll be forced to confront soon, in our lifetimes. But imagine for a moment the scene in the year 2062.Broad expanses of land — Aventura,Eastern Shores, Biscayne Landing,Arch Creek East, Keystone Point, Sans Souci Estates — will flood frequently and severely. Farther south, eastern Miami Shores will be inundated, as will most of Shorecrest, Belle Meade, Bayside, Morningside, and Edgewater. ( English )
