N.J. climate legislation targeting fossil fuel companies will cost you | Opinion NJBIA: The proposed 'Climate Superfund' legislation could cost households thousands in additional energy costs annually.

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.

Disaster could wipe out NJ budget reserves, researchers warn β€’ New Jersey Monitor NJ gets about $506M a year in federal disaster aid, but researchers say the state should better budget for catastrophes if that aid dries up.

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.

Berkeley’s $100M Idea To Stop Flooding BERKELEY – The township is looking into federal funding to elevate a number of roads to prevent the flooding that seems to be happening more and more every year. Β  It used to be that only low-lying ar...

$100M to raise roads in just a few spots. Now multiply that by 100 (which is conservative). That's $100B.

This is not a comment on the specific project. It is a comment on the extreme costs it will take just to make towns livable in a warmer world. Is this really the direction we want to take?

The Resilient NJ program, administered through DEP’s Office of Climate Resilience, will use this round of funding to provide grants of up to $300,000 to municipalities that join other to establish self-identified regions, and then work to develop regional Resilience Action Plans.

Near North Wildwood, Grassy Sound residents fear their homes will soon float away The marshland of Grassy Sound β€” a roughly 180-acre island straddling both sides of North Wildwood Boulevard β€” is deteriorating rapidly, and residents fear it will eventually wash away.

What this article avoids is the difficult question of whether these homes can, or should, be saved. It may sound callous but we’re going to face thousands of such decisions. With limited resources for #ClimateResilience we can’t protect everything everywhere forever. There are no easy answers left.

These N.J. residents won’t face summertime utility shutoffs under new law The new program prevents utility companies from disconnecting service for certain customers during the summer months.

With increasing heat due to climate change and the rising costs of electricity, this new #NJ law to prevent utility shutoffs in the summer is a literal lifesaver. #ClimateResilience

Army Corps halts some large-scale flood studies The agency intends to reevaluate whether nonstructural projects, such as home elevations, are a good use of its resources.

How many more signs do we need to tell us that our reliance on the Army Corps for New Jersey's resilience needs is a fool's game? #NJ must establish stable state funding to support our state agencies and communities invest in #ClimateResilience.
