Dems warn of 30-foot sea level rise without action on climate, call for ‘recovery plan’

A group of 65 House Democrats cosponsored a resolution that claims the sea level will rise 30 feet by the year 2100 if the government does not act to counter climate change.

Patrick Hauf is a politics writer for Fox News Digital.

"The best scientific information available projects a 15- to 30-foot rise in sea level by 2100 if current trends continue, with ever greater rises and acceleration in subsequent centuries, resulting in increased erosion and the loss of land, causing the loss of communities, homes, infrastructure, agriculture, and coastal ecosystems for affected children, until such time as levels of CO2 in the atmosphere are dramatically reduced, and steps are taken to cool the upper portion of the ocean," the resolution says.

The resolution claims the "planetary energy imbalance" cause by climate change is "equivalent to the amount of energy of exploding more than 400,000 Hiroshima atomic bombs per day, 365 days per year, across the planet."
