The Air Force wants $5 billion for flood and hurricane damage to bases. Global warming has been well known to science for decades, why can't Air Force base and runway planners factor in reasonable scientific analysis and plan ahead a little. They should build runways in places not prone to global warming or flood damage at least 100 feet above potential flood level.
Superfluous sorts of build in a flood plain federal project financing needs to stop. Global warming is a fact. Look ahead a half century at least and put private sector thinking caps on. Unnecessary financial loss by the military is a military defeat for national security.

Hopefully the dummies won't build a dike around previously flooded runways. They should reopen closed bases that are above flood and hurricane surge levels, and reduce flooded bases to temporary landing pads.
