Miami Herald: The tide is rising; that is no longer in doubt. Miami-Dade must prepare for sea-level rise made inevitable by the billions of tons of greenhouse gases already dumped into the atmosphere worldwide. We exist on a sliver of ground between the Everglades and the Atlantic Ocean only made dry by a complex network of canals and locks.
