Many people and properties in Florida are at risk with the climate changing and Atlantic hurricane season seeing many catastrophic storms. Scientists have evidence the climate crisis is causing cyclones to be more powerful and intensify more quickly. Florida’s position at the end of the Atlantic Ocean’s “hurricane alley” makes it twice as vulnerable as any other state. The risk of damage from floodwater is real and growing in a large percentage of the U.S. and even more so in Florida. Over 3.5 million people are at risk of water damage in Florida, and this number will rise by over 1 million people in the year 2050.



Will Florida be Gone Forever Due to The Climate Crisis?


The reason Florida is so warm could do with the seasons, experts said which plays a huge part in this. Drought and incredibly warm ocean water most likely have contributed to the record high temperatures in Florida recently. Compound Flooding and heavy rainstorms combined will continue to threaten South Florida. Since December, millions of gallons of toxic, raw sewage have spilled on to Fort Lauderdale’s streets from a series of pipe failures.
