    If it’s climate change, they need to make policies that address the causes of climate change (e.g. zoning reform for walkability)

    And how will that change coastal inundation?

      If New Jersey acts but other entities don’t, the fight against climate change might fail. If nobody acts because they assume everybody else won’t, the fight will definitely fail.

      Therefore, your question is irrelevant and New Jersey must act.
