The South part of Florida will eventually be under water. Sea levels have been rising and are continuing to rise. A lot of it now is due to global warming. Some people don't believe in global warming, but they are just kidding themselves, it is real and it is going to get worse. Although the U.S. is trying very hard to reduce pollution there are countries like China, India, Mexico, and other South American countries kicking out pollution like there is no tomorrow. There are some parts of China that are so polluted it looks like fog everywhere.



Some of the scientific journals that have been written about rising sea levels have now been withdrawn or retracted. The reason is because most scientist say they are too conservative in their estimates.



As the ice continues to melt it also increases the rate at which it melts. Part of the reason is that ice itself reflects the Sun's rays which actually keeps things cooler. When the ice is gone, the water actually absorbs the heat from the Sun increasing the temps, and increasing the rate the ice melts. So the more ice that melts, the melting rate increases.



Even where I live, my house is about two miles from the Gulf of Mexico, so some day my house will be flooded.



The cold winter we just had is the direct result of the El Nino conditions. It has nothing to do with global warming.



So the day will come when the burms will be gone fron the ENP because nothing will be there.



If you haven't watched an documentories on the ice melting and the water that is just flowing out of the ice caps, you should. You won't believe how fast the ice is melting, and you won't believe the flow of water that is running out of the ice.



Even if all pollution stopped today, the gas that is currently in our atmosphere will be there for years to come.
