On the recordDecember 16, 2015
Congressman Lieu, an interesting fact about that number. NASA projects that by 2050, between $66 billion and $106 billion worth of existing coastal property will likely be below sea level nationwide, with $238 billion to $507 billion worth of property below sea level by 2100. And so it certainly has, as you said, not just the livelihood effect on it, but also a price tag, as we have seen. I mentioned Congressman Gallego served in the military. I believe you also serve today as a reservist. If you will, talk about the national security threat because of climate change.
