Apparently Climate Change has reached such a malevolent

pitch that we have to worry about serious coastal flooding during high-end snowstorms, a problem utterly unknown when I was boy in the idyllic days of the late 1960's.  The current custodians of the Executive Department in Washington DC will see the entire seaboard from Texas to Cutler Harbor under 100 feet of water before they'll tolerate a whisper of "climate change". As such the ball has to carried downfield as best we can by state governments, so yeah its time to start discussing that seawall in the Boston Harbor and a host of other preventative measures. If I had any advice for Mayor Marty Walsh its to do his best to prevent Charlie Baker from turning this issue into a "state thrift versis Boston's profligacy" scenario, this is exactly the sort of thankless complicated issue that the Governor would love to bury under cliches and forget.
For that fact, the three democrats currently running for Governor are well advised to start talking up this issue and try and tag Baker a bit with it. What are Charlie Baker's plans regarding climate change anyway?  I'd love to know, because this one is knocking loudly at our doors right now.
