2. Pennsylvania (Infrastructure score: 235 out of 425 points )
“The Keystone State” has some complex battles to fight against climate risks, and all of this is due to its diverse geography. According to the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), all counties will experience a warmer and wetter climate, and the annual rainfall will rise by 8%. It might not sound much, but it can have brutal effects on the economy, infrastructure, and public health.
Floods and heatwaves are the main dangers we think about, but there are also landslides, erosion, and damage to farms. Even more, Pennsylvanians could see a rise in heat-related illnesses. Worse allergies and more cases of tick-borne diseases are both possible as temperatures continue to rise.
So, the goals for this state would be flood mitigation, and letโs not forget about renewable energy, as this plays a minimal role in Pennsylvaniaโs energy production.

The Republican Party, just stop with Climate Change nonsence, we nhave now better than before.
The Chesapeake Bay couldn’t have 12,000miles of coastline – it’s only 100+ miles long. Maybe 1,200miles?
Most of these are northeastern states, so here is my suggestion: cut them all loose and let them form their own little nation. We will miss their revenue . . . but nothing else about them. We will build a big wall so that, when they soon run their little utopia into the ground, they won’t be seeking refuge here.
Then do the same with the Left Coast; Problem solved.
Wow, all of this scare propaganda. So sad and just not true. People don’t need this in a free nation.
If the Deep State would just leave climate alone, we all would be safer and happier. Climate change is natural, however Man-made hurricanes, rain to flood, tornadoes, cyclones, blizzards, extreme hot temperatures are now being made by man-made machines like HAARP. Millions of us know this. Climate change is being disputed by real scientists. If people believe in todays “climate Change” done by machines, then I have no hope for mankind. They are the ones who need help. Or prison!
“climate change crisis” is a MYTH and a LIE of the DEEP STATE to STRIP your FREEDOMS from you. Get away from the “junk science” and get INFORMED.
Didnโt Gore warn about this years ago and the republicans laughed at him? Well DUH!
What? You mean the man-made “climate change” HAARP for one. We are not fooled by this propaganda!
Marland CAN’T have 12,000 miles of coastland. Looks like a lot less than 1,200 miles.
This DEMOCRAT would like to correct a bunch of misinformation. 1) We are having more snow not less and spring flooding is proportional to how much snow is on the ground when the spring rains come. 2) The oceans are not rising, the earth continues to settle. 3) CO2 is not a significant greenhouse gas. The only important greenhouse gas is water vapor and we are vaporizing much more water each year civilization advances. 3) Storm activity is not increasing, only storm damages are increasing due to more developed real estate every year. 4) We should not be wasting our time and resources trying to reduce CO2 production, the CO2 increases are due to warming of the oceans and release of gas from the oceans. We don’t know the full story about the warming of the oceans, but heat seepage from the 5000 degree earth core may be a big contributor.
