"Global warming" is dragged into this because there are other parts of the US that will face similar situations in 20-50 years if "global warming" is true. (I like "climate instability" better as a phrase, as it's not warmer everywhere and "warming" leads to barriers to understanding among the literally-minded.) Look at New York and other coastal US cities. Look at the entire nation of Bangladesh. If we could face the possible realities and start figuring out what to do about Miami, including dykes and water infrastructure or the idea of simply abandoning the place, we might have a start on what to do about the rest.
