With the concept of global warming picking up its pace as a considered fact- Miami has already started taking action for precaution from the same. Specific developments in the area of the weather includes the fact that the Miami-Dade officials admit the fact that the county is the first jurisdiction in the country to formally and comprehensively consider how its infrastructure may have to be adjusted so the county can function in a warmer world.

The rising sea level and comparatively more frequent as well as stronger hurricanes guided by an increased prevalence of disease are among the many issues the task force in Miami is considering. A recent report by the South Florida Regional Planning Council forecasts a five-foot rise in sea level by 2203 if current warming patterns continue. Such a development would, among other things, submerge Miami Beach and increase saltwater intrusion into the county's drinking-water supply and therefore is working effectively towards taking the future to a better position.
