Miami isn’t known for its majestic mountains. The tallest peaks in the South Florida landscape, in fact, are a series of landfills. The highest point south of Lake Okeechobee is the dump at Monarch Hill Renewable Energy Park, better known as Mount Trashmore, which towers 225 smelly feet above northern Broward County.

A researcher at FSU says climate change fueled displacement of residents is a looming "existential crisis" for Jacksonville and other major Florida cities.
