THAT SOMEONE ELSE WAS GONNA

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
