What happens to the Airport? What happens to most of South Florida?
On adjusting the sliders and then comparing the outcomes of different warming scenarios, the Miami International Airport is seen to be at risk of sea level rise. This includes areas around the airport, and most of Florida, such as the Airline Reservation, and Iglesia Cristiana, Lluvia Fresca when temperatures are adjusted from 2.00C to 3.50C (Climate Central, 2022). Nevertheless, although the sea level rise projections indicated in the maps accounts for the expansion of oceans as they warm as well as the melting of glaciers and ice sheets, data does not consider other non-climatic factors as the falling or rising of land due to glacial isotactic adjustment, tectonic activities, and sediment compaction of fossil fuel or subsurface water extraction. Besides, the projections do not account for the negative emissions technologies that could reduce warming over time when deployed at scale. At the coastal areas
