Joe Biden’s $3.8M Delaware holiday home ‘will be FLOODED within five years,’ experts say

President Joe Biden’s $3.8 million vacation home in Delaware has a 98 percent chance of being flooded in the next five years due to climate change, raising sea levels.

The six-bedroom home is located in Rehoboth and is less than a mile from the shoreline, putting it within FEMA’s Special Flood Hazard Area — the zone that would be inundated with water during a 100-year flood. CNN reports.

The Mid-Atlantic state has experienced a sea level rise of more than a foot over the past century, but the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) warns that it will continue to rise over the next century and that flowing water will eventually overtake coastal areas.

While climate change is a big factor, the land that Biden’s house sits on is naturally sinking, putting this region at even greater risk of sea level rise – and the level is rising faster than anywhere else in the world.

About 5.4 percent, or 100 square miles, of Delaware is located in the 100-year floodplain, and by 2050, this landmass is expected to increase to 7.1 percent, or 130 square miles, as a result of rising sea levels, according to States in danger.

But near Biden is right in the danger zone where sea levels are projected to rise 1.5 feet by 2040 and then 1.5 feet by 2120.

The million dollar vacation home appears to have been used to overcome flooding as the living quarters are 10 feet off the ground as they sit above high ceiling garages.

And this seems to be the ongoing design for most of the newer homes around.

Rehoboth Beach is part of Sussex County, the third with the newest homes built in the area with the highest risk of future flooding from all US coastal counties.

Regardless of the risk, approximately $500 million worth of new homes have been built in the area since 2010 – Biden’s was built in 2017, Delaware Online reports.

The president bought the house for $2.47 million, but it has since increased in value to $3.8 million.

The last storm to wreak havoc was in 1962, destroying 2,000 homes near the shoreline from Rehoboth Beach to Fenwick Island.

After the storm subsided, 50 percent of the building lots along the shoreline were empty and now, 50 years later, only two percent are empty.

Biden is known for taking action to fight climate change

Biden is known for taking action to combat climate change with plans to achieve a 100 percent clean energy economy and net-zero emissions by 2050 — what he calls the Biden Plan.

Biden’s climate and environmental justice proposal will deliver a federal investment of $1.7 trillion over the next decade, leveraging additional investment from the private sector and state and local businesses to total more than $5 trillion .

The plan isn’t black and white, though, as each taxpayer gets an additional $3,500 each year to fund the infrastructure to make it happen.

The Biden administration’s pledge would require by far the most ambitious U.S. climate effort ever, nearly doubling the reductions the Obama administration had pledged in the Paris climate accord.

But Republican Senate leader Mitch McConnell dismissed the government’s plans as costly and ineffective.

“This is quite a one-two punch,” McConnell said in a Senate address on Thursday. “Toothless requests from our foreign adversaries… and maximum pain to American citizens.”
