GreenPolicy360 has been focusing for years on the risks of Florida at the 'frontlines of climate change'.

One issue we have repeatedly pointed to as we continually provided background, context, science and predictions of what happens next is grounded (literally) in the fact that much of Florida's geology is called 'karst', comprised of a limestone composition that goes back to ancient eras when what is now called Florida, the Sunshine State was underwater. Florida rose from the seas over millenia and Florida's sandy soil is 'shell filled' and porous as a result. Florida's underground springs, caves, caverns, percolating waterways are extremely susceptible to water movement, to dynamic flow, and to underground intrusion of salt water.

The land of Florida is unlike most all land in the United States as a result, yet few have pointed out these baseline facts.

GreenPolicy360 has done so, and now comes a 'watershed' science study that is being called 'game changing'.

So here we are, not dwelling on "we told you so", but we did.

And in GreenPolicy360 case, we can point to the beginnings of Earth Science measuring and monitoring from low-earth orbit missions of those like our compatriot, Representative George E. Brown, who was out in front of the first generation of U.S. space, science and technology missions for some thirty years in Congress.

Now the 'eyes in the sky' science is measuring and monitoring Florida, especially its coastlines, and the data is coming into the light.

Let's look -- this study can be seen as the first of many that will now be added to a database of Florida Earth Science facts. The consequences of the facts on the ground, and under the ground, are going to be seen and felt over years to come.
