A new Miami Herald investigation dives into Florida’s “climate denial bubble,” where real estate values continue to climb in flood-prone neighborhoods, even after devastating storms and King Tides. In many cases, prices actually rose after extreme flooding, driven by short-term thinking and demand that ignores mounting risk. It’s a reminder of what’s often missing from mainstream climate conversations: the planet will endure, but the systems we (and all living things) rely on for stability, safety, and survival may not. As risks accelerate, so does the urgency to work with nature to protect what makes life livable. The most immediate tools we have are living systems that regulate water, heat, and resilience beneath, on, and above the ground.
