Bad Combo for Florida -- Least Prepared and Most Vulnerable
- "Florida takes the prize for being the least prepared of all [for sea level rise], especially given its extreme vulnerability. The state effectively has no building setback-from-the-shoreline requirement, and yet it is bound to experience numerous powerful hurricanes in coming decades, storms that will have been intensiï¬ed by global warming, and it has hundreds of miles of high-rise-lined beaches." - excerpt from The Rising Sea by Orrin H. Pilkey and Rob Young, Copyright 2009 Orrin H. Pilkey and Rob Young. Quote appeared in this AlterNet.org article.
