The state is spending big on adapting to floods and rising seas, but Republicans don't want to name the cause.

It's such a missed opportunity. Climate change could be used as a blanket excuse for a boon in technology, construction, transport network development, urban redesign, an agricultural revolution and all the investment, tourism, etc that would come with that. Adapting our communities and ways of life toward a sustainable world could be an awesome process and something to celebrate. Any politician that sees this and runs with it will look like a hero for relatively little effort.
They wouldn't be heros to their donors, who have a lot invested (literally) in keeping things burning (also literally).
