Miami will be under water eventually.

Imagine you’re on vacation. South Beach in the summer. Surf, sun, ice cold beer under a blistering blue sky. The sand is so hot you feel it through your flip flops. You spent the day lightly toasting on a beach towel. And after a cold shower in your beachfront hotel, you slide into cool clean sheets for the night. Tomorrow you plan to ride Jet-skis and drink some Pina coladas. You slip sweetly to sleep without a murmur.
