As for WVPATX, for every denier article he posts, I can link some that state the opposite so threads like this are pretty pointless. You use quotes around your poor paraphrasing, why is that? Regarding your second shaky "quote", many/most of those statements made by scientists and public employees regarding conditions in So. Florida are based on direct observation (street flooding, fresh water wells ruined from salt water intrusion, etc.) and aren't based on any predictions. Predictions made in the South Florida articles are based on trends being observed on the ground right now. I'm sorry if this information is upsetting to you.
