We cannot build for the best-case scenario. We cannot wish natural disasters away. No amount of hopeful thinking has ever saved anyone from flash floods. from “Murphy administration makes major changes to controversial sea-level rise rule” by @ryrivard

An apt time to repost this op-ed I wrote w/ Jen Coffey of ANJEC. Yesterday NJ lawmakers announced rollbacks of our flood rules. “How many more historic storms will hit our state — and how many more people need to die — before state policymakers act?”.

Today Gov Murphy is touring Berkeley Heights, my hometown where this house is located, and one of the towns hit hardest last night. My heart breaks for the real people suffering every day from the climate crisis while corporate lobbyists push for rollbacks of flood protections.

Make sure to let @GovMurphy and @NewJerseyDEP know that they need to be doing all they can to protect our state from not just the future of the climate crisis, but the here and now. The everyday disasters that are still managing to drown our state.

This is why it’s so important to keep the NJ PACT flood rules intact. It’s so clear just from today, a random Monday in June, we need to prepare for the reality of the climate crisis now. Because it is here. It is already too late for some. It is happening now.

I was used to it because we were just blocks away from the Passaic. But now those 100-year storms are happening every 30 years. No one is safe from flooding anymore. And we aren’t even building for today’s flooding, let alone for what the world will look like in another 30 years.

Like I *KNOW* flooding. My childhood home I lived in for 26 years was in a 100-year flood zone. One of my earliest childhood memories is my dad putting on waders to carry us out one by one during Hurricane Floyd. We had to evacuate to my grandparents house nearby.

Good thing we have all the best climate scientists in the world employed at the federal go—what? *holds finger to earpiece* oh. Oh no. Oh dear.

It is absolutely wild that in my fairly short lifetime, we went from having giant, slow-moving, named storms once every 10 years or so, to now having record-breaking rainfall and floods on a random Monday.

looking forward to connecting with The Youths

A reminder that the PATH carries more people every day than NJ transit trains. The fact that PANYNJ treats it like an afterthought is holding back real economic development in the NYC metro area.
