THAT SOMEONE ELSE WAS GONNA

AND IT’S HAPPENING BECAUSE

AND AS OF YET, WE’RE NOT DOING

IN RESPONDING TO IT.

BE ABLE TO RESPOND IN BETTER

SEA-LEVEL RISE IN A WAY THAT

NOT DESTROY IT.

THIS GROUP THAT IS TRYING TO

RISE, IS DOING US SUCH A

IRRESPONSIBLE, ALMOST

THAT WE NEED THIS DISCUSSION.

TO BEGIN TO THE SLOW THE RISE

[ laughter ]

MY PROMISE IS TO HELP YOU

[ applause ]

THEY’RE DOING.

YOU KNOW, EACH TIME WE TAKE

YOU HAVE TO DO.

STEP, AND YOU GOTTA DO THAT.

STEP BY STEP, ONE DAY AT A TIME

DO WITH YOUR LIFE AFTER THIS.

YOU KNOW?

YOU’RE PAYING A MORTGAGE

PAYING HIGH RENT FOR SOME PLACE

AND THERE’S NOT MUCH YOU CAN DO

MORTGAGE COMPANY SAID THEY’LL

THE FOURTH MONTH, THEY WANT THE

SO, LIKE...

I MEAN, THAT’S UNREAL.

IT’S HARD TO COMPREHEND HOW ALL

AND THEN YOU TURN YOUR CORNER,

LIKE, HOW?

IT’S REAL NOW.

IT’S REAL.

LIKE THIS HAPPEN, AND THEY

AND THEY DO; THEY HAPPEN

THEY HAPPEN EVERYWHERE.

WATER, YOU HAVE TO BE CAREFUL.

TO REBUILD, CAN REBUILD,

TAKE TIME...

TO REBUILD?

TO BE CHANGING.

NOT JUST HERE, BUT THE WATERS

THE HOMES ON THIS STREET,

THE STREET PERPENDICULAR

PROBABLY NOT.

PROTECTED BY A SEA WALL

I DON’T KNOW WHAT THEY CAN DO,

NOBODY’S ABLE TO LIVE

NOT FOR A WHILE.

YEAH.

AND LOSERS.

OF THE DEVELOPMENT AND

THERE HAVE BEEN LOSERS WHO HAVE

UP AFTER THESE STORMS,

AS FORTUNATE.

IS RISING, WHETHER IT

EVERY SINGLE EROSION PROBLEM

HAVE RIGHT NOW IS NEVER GOING

IF THE ONE METER PROJECTION

CORRECT, THEN THERE WILL COME

FUTURE WHEN WE’RE GONNA NEED

AMOUNTS OF MONEY, UH,

PLACES LIKE MIAMI,

WHEN 3-FOOT SEA-LEVEL RISE

AND BOSTON AND SO FORTH WILL BE

THE FUNDING FOR THAT?

OR IS IT GONNA BE BOSTON?

ABANDON MANHATTAN.

TO BE VERY HIGH IN OUR SOCIETY,

FROM A 3-FOOT SEA-LEVEL RISE.

OF DEVELOPMENT IS, UH,

SEVERAL DECADES DOWN THE ROAD.

IN THESE PLACES.

SO THE DANGER ZONE IS GOING TO

MORE INTENSE.

DEBATE GOING ON ABOUT TAXES.

AT THESE VERY, VERY LONG-TERM

TO KEEP OURSELVES IN THESE

ANY WAY YOU LOOK AT IT,

BACKSTOPPING AND SUBSIDIZING

AND FORWARDS.

FUEL THE COASTAL DEVELOPMENT

SAFER, AT LEAST FINANCIALLY,

ON THE COAST.

A HOME, SO THEY’RE ABLE TO GET

INSURANCE FOR THE VALUE OF THE

AFTER THE STORM COMES, AND THE

THE HOMEOWNER TURNS TO THE

SAY, "HEY, I WANT MY $250,000

AND IF ENOUGH HOMES

WELL, THEN, THEY’RE JUST GONNA

2005 COMES BY, YOU HAVE KATRINA,

AND NOW YOU HAVE A PROGRAM THAT

IN PREMIUM THAT’S $20 BILLION

BY THE TIME THAT SANDY HIT,

THAN $17 BILLION IN HOC

AND ON TOP OF THAT, CONGRESS

ANOTHER 10 BILLION TO PAY OFF

THERE’S NO WAY THEY’RE GONNA

YOU THINK ABOUT HOW FUTURE

TO INCREASE, AND THE LOSSES ARE

IN ADDITION TO THE FLOOD

DISASTER AID.

REBUILDING THE ROAD THAT GOES

THEY’RE REBUILDING THE WATER

OTHER STRUCTURES AROUND IT.

COASTAL COMMUNITIES

TO UNCLE SAM TO GET SUBSIDIES,

ECONOMIC BENEFITS, BUT IN

ECONOMIC BENEFIT ACTUALLY GOES

AND THE LION’S SHARE OF THE COST

AND THE FEDERAL TREASURY.

MORE OF.

DEVELOPMENT ON THE COAST?

WE ARE ABSOLUTELY PAYING

RISKY PLACES.

OF LETTING PEOPLE KNOW WHAT

MAKE AN INFORMED JUDGMENT.

ENOUGH MONEY TO GO AROUND,

TOUGHER CHOICES,

COMMUNITIES WHERE THE PROPERTIES

AND THOSE ARE ACTUALLY THE ONES

BECAUSE THEY DON’T HAVE AS MANY

OF THAT SITUATION.

THE DANGER WILL BE,

FOLKS, AND WE KIND OF LEFT THEM

HAPPENED TO THEM TIME AND TIME

AND THAT’S WHY AT LEAST

MIGHT CHANGE THE FOOTPRINT OF

RISES JUST SEEMS LIKE A SENSIBLE

THING TO DO.

THIS IS HARVEST COVE RIGHT OUT

ATLANTIC OCEAN OUT BEYOND THAT.

MOTHER’S PICTURE THAT’S IN THE

AFTER THE STORM, ALL OF THE

EXCEPT FOR THE ONE RIGHT

EVERYTHING ELSE WAS GONE.

TIME, AND SAND GIVES YOU TIME

ROLLING DOWN.

ANY OTHER OPTION THAT WE

YOU KNOW WHAT?

THIS PROJECT.

WITH CHANGE.

BUT I ALSO KNOW THAT WE’VE

AND I SLEEP VERY WELL AT NIGHT

WHICH I WOULDN’T HAVE DONE,

TO BE MAYOR OF THE TOWN

IF THAT PROJECT WAS NOT THERE.

RESPONSIBILITY.

THAT ARE BEING DONE TODAY,

WELL, AT THE END OF THOSE50

ABANDON YOU?

FOR 50 YEARS.

NOT VIABLE.

50 YEARS?

AT THE END OF THOSE 50 YEARS?

THAT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT

IT NEEDS TO ENCOURAGE,

TO ADOPT SOLUTIONS.

RESPONSE IS TO ACTUALLY KIND OF

THEY FEEL THAT, YOU KNOW,

INVESTMENT.

HEAVILY, BUT NOW IS THE TIME

BECAUSE THEY’RE ACTUALLY AFRAID

WHAT’S GOING TO HAPPEN TO THEM

INVESTMENT?

INVESTMENT.

THAT ROOF...

CITIZENS AND STATES WITH ALL

YOU POSSIBLY CAN.

A CREATIVE WAY TO ENSURE THAT

THAT THEY’RE NOT WALKING AWAY

AS LONG AS WE’RE IN THE KIND

SITUATION WE’RE IN

HAPPENS, THEN HOW CAN YOU DEAL

SEA-LEVEL RISE?

LEGISLATION WITH POLICY IN IT

REPUBLICAN OR IT’S DEMOCRAT.

RIGHT NOW, THERE’S NO

IF YOU HAVE NO GIVE-AND-TAKE,

I THINK WHAT STRUCK ME WHEN

STORM WAS THIS WAS ONE

WE SAW TOWNS UNDER WATER.

HOUSES THAT WERE COMPLETELY

AND RUBBLE.

THERE WERE TRAINS AND CARS

THE ROCKAWAYS BURNING,

TO GET THERE AND STOP THAT.

COUNTRY’S LARGEST CITY HAD

AS IT WAS BEING DESTROYED

IT WAS VERY MUCH AN APOCALYPTIC

THE SHORE.

AND THERE’S A LESSON

THERE’S A REALITY THAT HAS

THAT WE HAVE BEEN BLIND TO,

EXTREME WEATHER... CALL IT WHAT

TO IT.

FREQUENCY OF EXTREME WEATHER

THERE ARE PLACES THAT ARE GOING

ONCE YOU ACCEPT THAT REALITY,

WE HAVE TO START TO ASK SOME

WAY THROUGH IT.

TO BE: WHAT SHOULD WE REBUILD?

WE HAVE NEVER SUCCESSFULLY

IF YOU STOP WATER FROM GOING

THE DISASTER HAPPENS WHEN

THE WATER WANTS TO GO.

ALONG THE COAST.

OCCURRED BECAUSE SEA-LEVEL

THE SUCCESS OF A CIVILIZATION

THE STABILIZATION OF THAT

WE’RE NOW MOVING INTO THE 21st

NOW BECOMING UNSTABLE AGAIN.

PARADISE, AND IT’S A WONDERFUL

BUT YOU ALSO HAVE TO NEVER

A VISITOR HERE.

WE’RE ALL DEAD AND GONE,

THERE, THOSE WAVES ARE STILL

THEY’RE ALL STILL GONNA BE

LONG AFTER WE’RE GONE.

JUST PASSING THROUGH.
