Center for Climate Integrity Paul Chinowsky is going more into detail about the study. The study was done from an engineers perspective. The study answers "What is it going to take to protect us?" to survive in the environment tomorrow.

Center for Climate Integrity The study also opens the question of who should pay? who should pay this cost? We're talking about major costs, 10s of billions of dollars, and will see major strains on budgets. Should taxpayers be forced to pay or the polluters who caused the problem pay for their actions?

Center for Climate Integrity Center for Climate Integrity conducted a poll across the state asking who should pay for the cost and it found that 90% of Pennsylvania's say that polluters should pay a portion of those costs

Center for Climate Integrity Dr. Monica Taylor, Delaware Co., says that climate change is our reality and its effects can be immediate and dramatic, but its impacts can not always be seen especially with the cost on local governments and municipalities.

Center for Climate Integrity But ultimately, it is the taxpayer that will feel the cost. The report confirms that there will be staggering cost on taxpayers. The highest cost we face in the next 10 years will be increasing our storm drain capacity across Pennsylvania to prevent flooding.

Center for Climate Integrity Brittany Reno, mayor of Sharpsburg, says climate change is a public safety nightmare that they're starting to deal with daily. Sharpsburg is prone to lots of flooding and landsliding since it sits in a bowl in the Allegheny Valley.

It is critical that we hold the fossil fuel industry accountable for the costs of climate change. Please read Center for Climate Integrity's new study to learn more about the costs of climate pollution in PA: climateintegrity.org/uploads/media/…

Take this important action and tell U.S. EPA we need STRONG rules on power plants.
