The good news for Orlando fans is that the area isn't in the regions likely to go underwater as sea levels rise. The bad news, though, is that -- according to the study -- by 2100, Orlando will have a climate more like Acapulco's. Hot and humid indeed. And if you like Florida oranges and tomatoes, that's another reason to be concerned: rising temperatures combined with more frequent drought will threaten both those crops in the areas they're produced right now. (I'm in the northern part of Florida -- maybe I should start planting some citrus now!) LOL!!!
