Florida research professors studying climate change have serious warnings for the Magic City. They say that Miami’s buildings have come a long way in becoming more resistant to sustained, heavy winds. However, the city’s infrastructure may not be prepared to protect it from a huge hurricane storm surge.
In this edition of PBS News Hour, Miles O’Brien sat down with Susy Torriente, the chief resilience offer for the City of Miami Beach, Harold Wanless, a Geography and Regional Studies professor from the University of Miami, and Southeast Environmental Research Center’s Henry Briceno to discuss the effect of climate change in coastal cities like Miami.
