Putting aside the issues with the federal proposal, NJ is not prepared for, nor is it (exec or leg) taking seriously, the potential for such a shift. Significant reforms and investments in NJ will be needed, and it is hard to imagine that happening before it’s too late. Invest in #ClimateResilience

#ClimateResilience is an #affordability issue with a massive return on investment. There are plenty of shenanigans by the #NJ Legislature during lame duck; let’s do something worthwhile.
New paper demonstrates climate inaction is already hitting U.S. households like a hidden, regressive “climate tax”--but unlike Obamacare, there’s no national coalition or business deal to turn that fact into real climate adaptation progress. Column today: open.substack.com/pub/susanpcr...
Obamacare and climate adaptation have a lot in common
But the deal that made health insurance possible is far less likely in the climate arena

#ICYMI Yesterday, Commissioner LaTourette signed an Administrative Order authorizing the Drought Warning designation, which is the next stage of drought status after a Drought Watch and a step below a Drought Emergency, which could call for mandatory water-use restrictions. (1/3)

New Jersey coasts, lined with toxic facilities, don’t fare well in two new studies
New Jersey's widespread vulnerability to sea level rise combined with lots of big industry means the state has the second highest exposure to potentially flooding toxic sites in the nation.

In a rapidly warming world, heat waves will become mass mortality events. If 2003 European heat wave were to recur with 1.5 °C of warming (we're close to that today), this study predicts 17,800 excess deaths across Europe in *one week.* With 3 C of warming, the toll rises to 32,000.

That’s bad news for North Wildwood, which desperately needs reinforcement for its beaches.

🧵 With the warm end of September, followed by four days in the 80°s early in October, one might have wondered when fall weather was going to arrive in New Jersey. By now, we know that by mid-month a transition to cooler weather arrived.

Climate change is ALREADY costing you and will only get more expensive if we don’t invest in #ClimateResilience.
I’m agnostic on HOW we pay for it, but the principle of #PollutersPay, that those who reaped $Trillions$ should help pay for the impacts of their actions, makes sense to me.

Ensuring that #NJ has the resources to help people and our communities AFTER a disaster is important and compassionate. But it is more impactful and cost-efficient to invest in #ClimateResilience BEFORE the death and destruction resulting from worsening, more frequent, and more costly events.
