We’re doomed. New York is especially doomed.

rural infrastructure....relocated away from coastlines ....abandoning whole areas of the coast altogether....converting currently inhabited areas into nature zones and the forced relocation of our populace into high-density, mixed-housing, 'self-contained' communities, communal islands in the midst of "nature zones," served only by light rail or electric personal vehicles with limited range, marches right along....and we're actually paying for it to happen

new and existing buildings in the densely packed New York City metropolitan region should be reconfigured to allow for periodic flooding and sea intrusion. I propose placing large springs between the foundations and bottm floors, and tethering flocks of buzzards to all the buildings.
When the sea rushes in, it will frighten the buzzards into flight, safely lifting the buildings above the flood.
When the sea subsides, the buzzards will quit flying, and the srpings will pull the buildings back into position on their foundations again.
The buzzards can then be rewarded by lettng them eat all the drowned rats.

Interesting. Wasn’t that part of the USA swampland at one point in time? Gee. I wonder WHY it would want to revert back to its natural state, LOL!

Catastrophism ping!
There goes my pad on the fashionable, upper, eastside. Sigh* Spend a million bucks on something and it sinks. No wonder all the Indians wanted was beads a Bedazzler for the place.

Nothing but pure B*llShit. They are going to clear prime beachfront property so that when the commie dictatorship takes over they can then give those choice parcels to loyal apparatchiks..

Flooding Manhattan would be the only positive event to come out of all the Global Warming fraud.

OK before we spend all this cash...
What is the downside of New York City slowly sinking into the sea?
Yeah, I can't think of any either...

In the bubble era (2005) the money was there for such hokum. Not anymore but that still hasn’t stopped the GW hokum industry from charging on straight ahead. Hokum is our most important product and we employ millions in the Gov’t and .EDU and NGO sectors to manufacture it

Interesting data. It suggests a rise of a bit less than 8
inches in 150 years. It is also interesting to note that the
rise seems fairly steady, i.e. no appreciable acceleration as
per the phony "hockey stick".
BTW, not knowing how they take the measurement, is it
possible that the land mass is sinking?
At any given tide gage location, it's the relative sea
level that's important. New York is no different. It
might be sinking. So what? Nothing can be done about that.
The tide gage record at the Permanent Service for Mean Sea
Level (PSMSL) all 1250 stations indicate that yes there is
an acceleration of about .011 mm/yr. Did you expect it to
stay absolutely static? Anyway, at an annual acceleration
of one one hundredth of a millimeter and IF it continues
sea level will be going up two mm/yr instead of one a hundred
years from now.
The Global Warming Lobby claims sea level is currently
going up 3.3 mm/yr but I don't believe them. At least the
records of relative sea level from all those 1250 PSMSL
tide gages doesn't confirm such a claim.
