Our great state begins in the west with beautiful, lush mountains that slope into a hilly and fertile piedmont which, in turn, descends into a wide and low-lying coast fringed with barrier islands (the Outer Banks). In North Carolina, we love our coast -- all 2,000+ square miles of coastal land that is threatened by climate change and the resulting rising sea levels.I\u2019m not a climate scientist, though I\u2019ve read the work of many. And in reading the dire conclusions of study after study on the impacts of climate change, I imagine that climate scientists must start and end their days with a prayer that they are wrong. Like a doctor who has to tell a patient her cancer is terminal, they must check and recheck the data to ensure this bad news is true. Which is why I am sure it must be frustrating to climatologists everywhere when legislators like those in my state of North Carolina circulate bills like this one. Active in this Summer\u2019s General Assembly short session, this \u201ccoastal management policies\u201d bill would legislate climate change denial into our state\u2019s sea level rise planning.","thumbnail_url":"http:\/\/farm3.staticflickr.com\/2538\/4208214583_d6f1aea930_z.jpg"}
