Florida
is the US state that faces the greatest threat from global warming.
This is apparent in two of its most iconic locations: the vast wetlands
of the Everglades and Miami's seafront. Both urban areas and fragile
ecosystems are under threat from rising sea levels and the destruction
of freshwater reserves by seawater infiltration. But some scientists say
that if properly protected, Florida's wetlands could hold the key to a
brighter future - not only for the state but for the entire planet.
