5. Louisiana (Infrastructure score: 179 out of 425 points)
We already know that Louisiana has endured some of the biggest destructions caused by severe weather, most notably Hurricane Katrina in 2005. But this is just one of the major disasters that hit this state.
According to NOAA, Louisiana has been hit by more than one hundred major catastrophes since 1980, with each inflicting at least $1 billion in damage. These refer to an extensive range of natural disasters, including 43 severe storms and 25 tropical cyclones, as well as floods, droughts, and severe winter storms.
Low-lying coastal regions are the main reason this state is so susceptible to strong storms such as hurricanes that can easily lead to severe flooding.
Right now, the Climate Initiatives Task Force is the main organization that tries to protect Louisiana from the potential disasters caused by climate change. This is a 23-person group that tries to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, but right now it is not known if this plan will suffer changes or not after the election of Republican Governor Jeff Landry in 2023.

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.
