(Reuters) - Government buildings and federal highways planned in the future will be constructed safe distances away from flood areas that are expected to worsen due to climate change, the White House announced on Friday.
More than $1 trillion of property and structures are at risk of inundation from sea level rise of two feet above current sea level, the White House said in a statement, and that level could be reached as early as 2050.

Quite the scam that they have concocted here, a never ending scam with a zero chance of ever being resolved but with a never ending $$$ of remedies to “cure” it.
Removing Agenda 21 tinfoil. It cant happen here.
Really? Watch Agenda 21 legislation introduced in Congress by Nancy Pelosi:

Politicians and other Climate Change scammers must have bought a lot of cheap, marginal land in the middle of nowhere that they want to unload on the government at outrageous prices.
This is series. I'm for immediate action on this to prevent disaster. The science is now settled and we must put in place a complete moratorium on ANY federal building. NO MORE Federal Building!
[isn't it great to play out "agenda" in ones demands?]
Or Kenya.
HIMMM Harry Reid’s Nevada ...probably has plenty of prime desert land....available
Heck, why waste the money?
Just move to Camp David full time, and be done with it! It’s already an armed camp.
IF the flood levels are true, much of the supposed ‘safe’ substructures of The Capitol building would be inundated.
Yeah, but crazy hyperbole like that would depend on using only a decade of data and suddenly assuming that the increase in rise will continue exponentially for 100 years.
We don’t have enough data to show that the oceans will continue to rise at an increasing rate over the next 10 years. It might decrease or even reverse... in which case not only would crazy numbers like 5 feet be wrong, but 100 years from now we might be going down again.
Statistics are the most abused form of math in human history. Coming up with numbers above 2 feet require only looking at the last 10 years and assuming that will continue forever.
Globull warming is not going to happen but building roads away from hazzards will equal roads to nowhere. Federal buildings built in safe areas will equal buildings where no one can access them.
How’s that going to affect evacuation?
Riiiigggghhhttt!!! :)
we will then...have our own version of the “abandoned” Chinese Cities.
Uuuuuhhhh, I believe that was “...saved millions FROM needing a job,” what with “free” cell phone, EBT cards, and other nefarious government administered largess!
Very likely. I am glad that I am getting old.
in just closing in on 70....but when I read some of the stuff going on today...it seems like 170!
Considering Washington DC is mostly tidal estuary it might be a little late.
