Climate change poses threat to future Super Bowls in Miami
The forecast for the Super Bowl in Miami is grim.
Clear skies and temperature in the 60s are expected when the game kicks off, so weather won’t be a problem.
But climate change likely will be, sooner or later. The sea and temperature are rising, posing a threat to South Floridians’ way of life, including their customary spot in the NFL’s Super Bowl rotation.
The game will be played Sunday in Miami for the 11th time, the most of any city. Given the changing climate, how much longer will the region be a place where the NFL wants to bring its big party?
“In 10 years maybe we’ll still be functioning normally,†said Harold Wanless, a leading expert on sea level rise in South Florida. “Twenty years? I think that could be a problem.â€
The Miami Dolphins’ stadium, the site of the Super Bowl this year for the sixth time, stands 10 feet above sea level. That will change, although projections vary widely.
The average sea rise through the entire 20th Century was just 7-8 inches, which is exactly average for the Holocene over the last 8,000 years. During a warm period, one would expect the sea rise to actually be higher, because it will be much lower during a cool period. The Miami Beach station hasn’t operated since 1981, but it showed just .78 feet over 100 years (it operated since 1931). The next closest station is Virginia Key, showing .93 feet per 100 years, closer to what is expected during a warm period. Mayport, Florida shows .86 feet. Regardless, nothing shows anthropogenic causation, just a low level Holocene warm period.
Of course, facts do not matter to cults. They have their Dogma, and will not only never let go, they’ll quadruple down on it.
