Climate Change was brought up in detail this week by environmental agencies and the White House.

Climate change for some politicians has become part of their political platform, and for others they choose not to give an opinion because it might affect their electoral future, while some are just indignant that the idea of climate change does not exist. But, the truest fact is that Miami will be mostly affected by this man-made influence of the weather.

What is climate change? It is a change in global or regional climate patterns, and in particular, this change has been apparent from the mid to late 20th century and onwards. Climate change has attributed largely to the increased levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide, produced by the use of fossil fuels.

According to a new scientific report on global warming that was released this week, the National Climate Assessment has named Miami as one of the cities that is most vulnerable to fierce damage as a result of rising sea levels. In other words, Miami is one of U.S.'s top hot spots for climate change. Miami and Southern parts of Florida are most vulnerable to flood, especially at lunar high tides, USA Today reported.

The underlying rock in Miami is limestone which allows ground water to seep in. Some experts say that that the porous bedrock of limestone makes it difficult to build a sea wall that will keep out salt water intrusion, according to USA Today.

What makes Miami and Southern Florida so vulnerable is its flat lands, low-lying areas, and is densely developed. As a result, a sea level rise of a mere few inches could mean trouble. Not only is Miami affected, the White House's release on Tuesday of the National Climate Assessment conducted a massive study by scientists which found that rising temperatures are already affecting other places in the U.S. such as New Orleans, Tampa, Charleston and Virginia Beach.

The heart of the problem is increasing fossil fuel emissions that continue to warm the planet. Climate experts say that national policies to tax or regulate carbon pollution are required by the world's top emitters, primarily the U.S. and China, The New York Times reported. Bills aimed at putting a price on carbon pollution have repeatedly failed.

President Obama is planning on using his executive authority to issue regulation that would cut carbon pollution from coal-fired power plants. However, the only thing standing in the way of this possible solution is his political opposition. The Republicans call the rule a "War on Coal," and they want to overturn it, The New York Times reported.

Senator Marco Rubio and former Governor Jeb Bush have both been silent about the subject. Some people cite that they are both thinking about their political future, while supporters of Bush feel that he should be focusing on hot button issues such as immigration reform.

Charles Krauthammer, a reporter and analyst, thinks that climate change is a fictitious tale. On Fox News' "Special Report" on Wednesday, Krauthammer compared the belief in the theory of climate change to that of the power of the gods that control the weather, the Huffington Post reported. Krauthammer says that he is not impressed by numbers, referring to the report on climate change.

If you hate numbers, then you are going to hate facts. The problem with the Earth's environment because of the effect of climate change is so real that former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg has been appointed by the United Nations to act as Special Envoy for Cities and Climate Change.

And since 1972, there was the world's first conference in Rio de Janeiro that discussed climate change, but back then it was called sustainable development, then through the years, with further conferences, it was about the environment. Now it has evolved to climate change.
