noaa a couple weeks ago issued a report saying that sea level rise for the next 30 years was locked in at one foot over the next 30 years. locked in means is going to happen no matter what. if that were true it would take this graph of the where the star is over 30 years. now, who am i to dispute noaa but we're going to find out quickly whether is going to go up that rapidly or not. obviously it does we should be thinking differently graph and we're thinking now. on the other hand here's a statement from a paper published by nissan and collaborators at columbia university, certainly within the mainstream to save the use of the models used in these protections to drive adaptation actions is unwarranted. climate map models reproduce conditions with anywhere near the degree of accuracy and precision which will make it usable. nonetheless, nasa, the ipcc put out these projections with great confidence. we shall see. let me turn to whether a in the media over the last summer. he waves in the northwest are virtually impossible without human changes. said cnn, european floods were the latest

i'd like to note that the american west cost $8.6 billion last year, according to noaa, and that theire costs, over $10 billion last year alone. restoration efforts, which this bill would help do, that make habitats and communities more resilient to climate change, have an exceptionally high return on the investment. such as reducing droughts and wildfire risk, increasing job opportunities and growing local economies. conservation and restoration of key habitats helps reduce the threats of wildfires and helps states conserve water and improve water quality, making their water systems more resilient to the drought. and finally, full implementation of state and tribal wildlife plans will help species recover, be removed and even stay off the endangered species list, which is what we want, saving the u.s. taxpayers millions of dollars each year. the large economic and social benefits of this legislation would boost our economy and help us deliver our climate commitments for years to come as well. for now, mr. speaker, i'd like to yield three minutes to my distinguished colleague from or
