But that
blistering pace came at a price. Our planet is getting hotter. Our coasts are threatened by furious
storm surges that sweep away homes and devastate our largest cities. Our poorest neighborhoods are one bad storm away from being under
water. Our naval bases are under attack--not by enemy ships but by
rising seas; droughts and wildfires are all too familiar across the
country. Refugees are fleeing homes that are no longer livable. And the
risk of rapidly spreading diseases like malaria and Zika is on the
rise. Our coastal communities don't have time for politicians who deny
science.
