Miami

• World rank: 1
• Population at risk: 2M
• Current assets at risk: $416 billion

Miami sits on the Atlantic coastline with little protection from cyclical tropical storms and hurricanes, which have been growing in frequency and intensity as a result of changes in Atlantic Ocean temperatures in the last decade. Not only is Miami a low-lying city with significant coast exposure, but it is also experiencing considerable population growth due to immigration and migration from within the U.S., as well as a rise in costly waterfront real estate development from residential homes to resorts. All these factors combined make Miami the city most vulnerable to the threat of rising sea levels.

FRIGHTENING!!!! I think I'm going to go out today and take some photos of the construction going on downtown. It's hilarious. Nobody is buying them, but yet, they keep building. Hoping someone will fill in the empty floors. NEWSFLASH! No one has any money. I even heard that South Beach is already charging $4.00/g for gas. My friend said, "We are already in a recession but people just don't realize it." Oh yeah, what else is it going to take, I wonder?
