Explain how the melting of the sea ice may affect<br><br> people living on the coast of Florida.
Levart [38]

The ocean is fluid, so it’s going to respond somewhere else and that somewhere else is down here,” he said.  In South Florida, planners already confronting flooding from sea rise have been more aggressive in assessing sea rise.
