To the Editor:

On the fifth anniversary of Hurricane Irene, we still have not learned its lessons. Ireneravaged parts of New Jersey, causing major flooding, power outages, coastal evacuations and loss of life to 10 people. Instead of making us stronger than the next storm, our governor doesn’t believe in the science of climate change. He has actually made us more vulnerable by not dealing with sea level rise, while putting more people and property in harm’s way.
