The latest New Yorker - 21 and 28 December 2015 - has a hilarious piece on sea-level rise in Florida, "The Siege of Miami" by Elizabeth Kolbert.
It mentions that Forida's Republican governor, Rick Scott, had instructed state workers not to discus climate change, or even use the term.
Awkward, when Floria rest on porous limestone, full of fresh water, which is less dense that sea-water, so the water table in parts of Florida is higher than sea level, and frequently higher than the land surface. Lakes - with fish - appear at inland spots when the tide is high, and drain away when the tide goes down.
