we're here in annapolis today, beautiful city of annapolis. we're going to see -- we're going to hear about the local effects of climate change on coastal communities. annapolis is really on the front lines when it comes to that. unfortunately sometimes in washington politic s take over this conversation. it's good to be able to get out of washington and out in to the communities that are grappling with this issue where you do find, i think, a real consensus that this is a priority that has to be addressed. we've assembled a very strong panel of leaders on this issue that we're going to hear from today. there's no question this is the challenge of our generation, addressing climate change. and the american public is as focused on it as our witnesses are and as we are. there's recent polling that shows that 70% of americans favor stronger limits on the amount of carbon that's emitted by power plants, over 80% of americans think the united states should take action to address climate change. so the public understands this. the experts understand

flooding to the city of annapolis. -- of tidal flooding to the city of annapolis. this morning we had an event which will punctuate the topic for today's hearing. we're looking forward to the vice admiral walter ted cardinal does carter became the 66 attended -- he is a native of burrillville, rhode island. he graduated from the academy here in 1981. he was designated a naval flood officer -- flight officer, and graduated top gun in 1985. he completed the air command and staff college course in the staff college. in 2001, he completed the navy's nuclear power program. if i told you all of the various words and recognitions he has reese, we would not be able to hold the hearing today. needless to say, he has excelled in everything he has attempted. i will mention this -- admiral carter flew 125 combat missions in support of bosnia, afghanistan, kuwait. he accumulated -- he safely completed 2016 carrier arrested landings, which is the record among all act as an retired u.s. naval aviation -- active and retired u.s. naval aviation. we are looking forward to your testi

in annapolis it's a big deal. people talk about it all the time. a lot of concern from business owners. what are we doing to address it. but we have a plan in place. we just need the funding to implement it going forward. >> okay. i'm going to skip mr. baker because my questions were about rock fish and striped bass. and i think you mentioned that on the one hand, you know, rock fish are back. but on the other hand, what's happening in terms of climate change could severely impact them. did you want to add to that? >> one of the big concerns is a wasting disease. there is no real absolute knowledge as to what causes it. but we know that when fish are stressed, they're more prone to disease. so the general thinking is that a fish under stress has a lot more problems than one that isn't. and certainly, the population is starting to dip again. >> okay. let me then go lastly to dr. ekwurzel. because the noaa recently released the state of the climate in a 2014 report that represents data from scientists around the globe. and i know you stressed -- you

this means that likely half of the days of the year will have flooding at annapolis. other coastal communities are vulnerable. ocean city is highly vulnerability to storms and high tides. more so with sea level rise. flooding occurs eight times per day and the city could face 60 flood events by 3020 and 411 per year by the year 2045. these floods would be far more extensive than the limited flooding typically seen today. the case for emissions reduction reductions could not be more in effect. ocean city could prepare for around 42 flood events per year by 2045, instead of 411 on the high emission pathway. tidal floods will be more severe in the duration and except by 2045. today tidal floods typically last a few hours or less. now several locations in the chesapeake bay area and including baltimore and the flood prone waterway are projected to be under water for 875 hours per year, so that is 10% of the year by the year 2045 if we continue on the high emission. even when a hurricane forms naturally, conditions brought about by climate change are contributing to the po

and and annapolis it is a big deal. a lot of concern from business owners. what are we doing to address it? i think we have let out a great plan, have a great partnership. we just need the funding to implement. >> okay. i am going to skip mr. baker because my questions are about rockfish. i think you mentioned on the one hand you no mark fisher back but on the other hand what is happening in terms of climate change could severely impacted. did you want to add to that? >> just one of the big concerns is a wasting disease, michael bacteria versus. there is no absolute knowledge as to what causes it but we no that when fisher stressed they are more prone to disease. the general thinking is a fish under stress has more problems than one that is not. certainly the population is starting to dip again. >> okay. let me then go. no were recently released the state of the climate in 2014 report representing data for scientists around the globe. i know you gave us a lot of information about and annapolis andin maryland. if i could just go beyond that you know according
