   "abstract": "With its 3,100 miles of tidal shoreline and low-lying rural and urban lands, \u201cThe Free \nState\u201d is one of the most vulnerable to sea-level rise. Historically, Marylanders have long \nhad to contend with rising water levels along its Chesapeake Bay and Atlantic Ocean and \ncoastal bay shores. Shorelines eroded and low-relief lands and islands, some previously \ninhabited, were inundated. Prior to the 20th century, this was largely due to the slow \nsinking of the land since Earth\u2019s crust is still adjusting to the melting of large masses of \nice following the last glacial period. Over the 20th century, however, the rate of rise of the \naverage level of tidal waters with respect to land, or relative sea-level rise, has increased, \nat least partially as a result of global warming. Moreover, the scientific evidence is \ncompelling that Earth\u2019s climate will continue to warm and its oceans will rise even more \nrapidly.\n\nRecognizing the scientific consensus around global climate change, the contribution \nof human activities to it, and the vulnerability of Maryland\u2019s people, property, public \ninvestments, and natural resources, Governor Martin O\u2019Malley established the Maryland \nCommission on Climate Change on April 20, 2007. The Commission produced a Plan of \nAction that included a comprehensive climate change impact assessment, a greenhouse \ngas reduction strategy, and strategies for reducing Maryland\u2019s vulnerability to climate \nchange. The Plan has led to landmark legislation to reduce the state\u2019s greenhouse gas \nemissions and a variety of state policies designed to reduce energy consumption and \npromote adaptation to climate change.",
