A new law in North Carolina will ban the state from basing coastal policies
on the latest scientific predictions of how much the sea level will rise,
prompting environmentalists to accuse the state of disrespecting climate
science.

The law has put the state in the spotlight for what critics have called
nearsightedness and climate change denial, but its proponents said the
state needed to put a moratorium on predictions of sea level rise until
scientific techniques improve.
