Miami-Dade County’s task force on rising seas wants the county mayor to take the reins on the mounting problem and will propose a suite of resolutions before commissioners on Wednesday to address the issue.
The measures will serve as “marching orders” to increase the county’s response to sea rise, County Commissioner Rebeca Sosa said during a meeting with Miami Herald editors last week. She sponsored the legislation carrying out the task force recommendations as one of her last acts as commission chairwoman.
The resolutions ask Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos Gimenez to take formal oversight and dedicate staff and resources to shepherd the county’s attack on climate change. One resolution would also ask the administration to speed up the planning process by hiring engineers or other experts to develop a capital plan to fortify the county’s vast infrastructure against the dangers of sea rise — everything from roads to bridges to sewer structures. Another resolution also calls for a comprehensive study on flooding and saltwater intrusion along with a time frame for carrying out changes and source of money.

Didn't Hussein lower the sea levels?
King Canute,answer the courtesy phone.
A Mayor doing something to stop “sea rise” ? Such a notion should be met with derisive laughter.
I imagine the jerk will buy a bunch of computers with Algore software and hire a bunch of brainless pinheads to run them.
If arctic and antarctic ice are increasing, how are sea levels rising?
Healed the planet. Fixed the ocean. I believe that was it.
Yeppers. That waterline is going by 1 foot per century.
But passing a carbon tax is worth 1.3 trillion a year in new tax revenues.
Passing a mandatory carbon-trading scheme worldwide (through the UN and EU) is worth 6 trillion a year to the democrats’ banker and overseas investors.
Neither will change sea level rise.
So far, he's doing a bang-up job.
THE MOUNTAINS ARE WEARING DOWN!! Time to appoint a mayor to make sure we stop them wearing down.....
The mayor probably wants to scare some residents to sell their ocean-front property CHEAP.
OOOOh...a “suite of resolutions”! Very, uh, nuanced. A suite. Resolutions. Wow. As soon as God and Mother Nature get wind that there’s a suite of resolutions coming they’ll be “recalibrating” for sure!
I propose each occupant of Miami-Dade take a pan to the seashore and bail 1 gallon of seawater to stop the rise.
Who do they think he is, Neptune?
With luck the mayor will drown in his bath tub.
Prince of Tides?
They elected Poseidon ?
It will get down to taxing the west out of business.
No wonder nobody reads the satirical website The Onion anymore.
