Climate change is not an issue we can leave for future generations to solve. Our lack of preparation for it will be dangerous and expensive. We must prepare for a warming world by reducing carbon emissions, by making meaningful investments in infrastructure, and by minimizing the threats associated with drought. My district in the San Francisco Peninsula is severely threatened by sea level rise, with more than 110,000 people, $24 billion in property, and a major international airport at risk. The costs of continued inaction are enormous – millions of lives and livelihoods are at stake. We need to work together to meet the challenges ahead before SFO, businesses – including many high-tech companies – and homes along the Bay are underneath rising seas. #ActOnClimate
