Bailing out basement family rooms or navigating washed-out roads is harrowing enough, but few Americans may realize the risk of flooding for utilities, hospitals, airports and other vital services if climate change persists, a new report says.
The report’s analysis found that over the next 30 years, due to the impacts of climate change, an additional 1.2 million residential properties, 66,000 commercial properties, 63,000 miles of roads, 6,100 pieces of social infrastructure, such as museums or schools, and 2,000 pieces of critical infrastructure, such as fire and police stations, will also have flood risk that would render them inoperable, inaccessible or impassable.
Targeted higher-risk cities include the major population centers of New Orleans and Miami, while St. Petersburg and Tampa, Fla., along the Gulf of Mexico, made the list. Atlantic Ocean cities Cape Coral and Fort Lauderdale, Fla., were included, as was Charleston, S.C. The First Street report hits as Congress is debating whether to put trillions of dollars toward rebuilding aging infrastructure, including fortifying it against extreme weather and flooding. Lawmakers are still haggling over the cost and focus points of the broad legislation, but Democratic leadership, which holds the narrow majority, has shown optimism that some version of the House and Senate bills can advance by month’s end.
President Biden has pledged a “whole of government” push toward net-zero emissions and meeting global warming temperature targets by bringing more renewable energy TAN, +3.64% on line. He has also approved continued permitting for fossil-fuel WBS00, -0.06% growth. Biden and other major world leaders gather in Glasgow in early November for key climate talks.
So stupid. Alarmists selling hard.
It’s what happens when government forgoes 100 year floodplain data and allows development of roads and buildings on land that 30 years ago would have never been issued a clearing permit much less zoning approval.
Democrats writing this report millions of years ago: Future continent drift will separate people from important food sources on the other side of the split. If we act now we can stop the tectonic plates from shifting .
According to climate scientists, we should all be frozen/drowned by now. chickenlittle
