The indisputable fact that flood maps are going to have to be updated based on climate change makes some people uncomfortable: especially those whose activities are worsening climate change, and those whose income will be greater if they sweep the bad news under the rug.

C.R.M.L.S. and a few homeowners told The Times they questioned the validity of property-level forecasts, and C.R.M.L.S. said it grew “suspicious” when models showed high flood risk in places that hadn’t flooded in decades.
