3. Maryland (Infrastructure score: 188 out of 425 points)
This state has 12,000 miles of coastline around the Chesapeake Bay, and this is why it’s among the most exposed states when it comes to climate change. The rising sea levels are alarming, and Maryland is vulnerable to flooding and land subsidence.
3 to 5 millimeters per year. This is how fast the sea levels are rising here, and according to the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science, this is double the global average.
11% of Maryland’s 2.2 million properties are at risk of flooding, and major damage is foreshadowed for the next 30 years. This is why the 10-year Climate Adaptation Resilience Framework was adopted in 2021. This plan aims to make sure that Maryland’s buildings, transportation networks, and utilities will resist when disaster strikes.

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.
Didn’t 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.
