This reminded me of some bullshit where they had passed a law either forbidding action based on coast line change or forbidding monitoring of it IIRC.
Here's an article if anyone wants it but it starts out pretty strong https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/sep/12/north-carolina-didnt-like-science-on-sea-levels-so-passed-a-law-against-it
"In 2012, the state now in the path of Hurricane Florence reacted to a prediction by its Coastal Resources Commission that sea levels could rise by 39in over the next century by passing a law that banned policies based on such forecasts."
