President Obama is asking for a $1 billion, taxpayer-funded program to help communities across the country prepare for the effects of climate change.

The fund would need congressional approval and if passed would pay for underwriting granular, community-level preparations and pay for new technologies to adjust to rising sea levels.

The president made the announcement Friday during a visit to drought-stricken California and said the so-called “climate resilience fund” will be included in his proposed fiscal 2015 budget.

“The budget that I send to Congress next month will include $1 billion in new funding read that as 'taxes' for new technologies to help communities prepare for a changing climate, set up incentives to build smarter, more resilient infrastructure,” Obama said during a brief speech at Joe Del Bosque’s Field, in Los Banos, between Fresno and San Jose.

this is nuts.
A billion dollars seems laughably low, given the extent of the coming problem, but I guess it's better than nothing.
