If nothing is done to combat global warming, two of Florida's nuclear power plants, three of its prisons and 1,362 hotels, motels and inns will be under water by 2100, a study released on Wednesday said.
In all, Florida could stand to lose $345 billion a year in projected economic activity by 2100 if nothing is done to reduce emissions that are viewed as the main human contribution to rising global temperatures, according to the Tufts University study.
The status quo, the climate that we have right now, is not an available option unless we act immediately," said Frank Ackerman, a professor at Tufts' Global Development and Environmental Institute and co-author of the study.
"Doing something may seem expensive, but doing nothing will be more expensive."
Ackerman predicted a temperature increase of 10 degrees Fahrenheit, lower rainfall, more severe hurricanes and seas rising by as much as 45 inches because of climate change.
A New York-based environmental group, Environmental Defense, commissioned the Tufts study.

Wow, they can do economic forcast 92 years out. Genious I tell you, real genious.
If absolutely everything operates exactly the same today for the next 100 years, we’ll all die! Yes, I know that has never happened in four billion years, so what?
Does this include the sugar welfare or not?
The operative word here is “may”. But we’ll raise your taxes anyway.
The answer to global warming is in the abolition of private property and production for human need. A socialist world would place an enormous priority on alternative energy sources. This is what ecologically-minded socialists have been exploring for quite some time now.”

“Wow, they can do economic forcast 92 years out. Genious I tell you, real genious.”(sic)
They also can do hurricane forecasts too, right? Like the ones that said we’re gonna get creamed the last 2 years?
And, weather forecasts, like the one where I was supposed to get 6” of snow today (light dusting instead)??
As someone pointed out, neither the person(s) making the forecasts, nor the person who wrote the story, will be around to be accountable in 2100.
