“Miami will likely be underwater before the Senate can muster enough votes to meaningfully confront climate change.”
(First, a grammar correction. As with many writers, Ronald Brownstein does not know the difference between two-word phrases and one-word adjectives. “Underwater” is an adjective. “Under water” is a location. “Underwater ruins” vs. “The ruins were under water.” People make the same mistake with “back yard” and “backyard.” “The barbecue is in the back yard.” “We are having a backyard barbecue.”)
The real focus of the story should be President Obama’s willingness, even predilection, to use the presidential pen while ignoring Congress.
