"If due to climate change these homes become uninsurable and unmarketable, the value of these homes and the wealth of homeowners is at risk."

"New Jersey has lost $4.5 billion in home value since 2005, a time period covering Sandy, because of flooding related to sea level rises."

"That transition brings some extraordinary opportunity to create new middle-class jobs and reinvigorate our manufacturing and energy sectors."
