And rising sea levels are going to be part of that cost. Washington, my state, is already seeing real world impacts from this, particularly at sea level rise. Puget Sound levels are projected to rise 1.6ft by 2050 and as much as 10ft by 2100. And the statewide, we're expecting to see 1 to 3ft by the end of the century. So that does have an impact. And the kind of changes that we're talking about can have impact specifically to infrastructure. (03:04–03:10)
