L.A. Times: Is Florida's climate change model -- denial at the Capitol, frantic action at the beach -- in store for U.S. under Trump?
St. Petersburg, on Tampa Bay, is one such community. Since 2015, St. Petersburg has had three major sewage spills. In September, more than 120 million gallons of partially treated human waste poured into the bay, leaving residents and visitors complaining of the stink and fearful to enter the water.
St. Petersburg Mayor Rick Kriseman diagnosed it correctly: Changing climate, in the form of heavier rains and storms, has been overwhelming the city's aging wastewater treatment system. St. Petersburg has now committed more than $60 million for short-term upgrades and $300 million to fix the water management system as a whole. In November the City Council also earmarked $800,000 for climate planning, including a switch to 100% renewable energy.

Luckily for the city, Kriseman has already opted to commit tens of millions of dollars in an effort to prevent massive sewage dumps in the future.
