President Barack Obama insists that Americans have to take climate change seriously, or else a key part of one the world’s greatest cities could end up underwater.

“When scientists tell us that the planet is getting warmer and we need to do something about it, the majority of people think that’s a good idea, let’s do something about that, because we don’t want Manhattan to be underwater,” Obama said during a fundraiser in New York City.

Obama observed that people are frustrated by the current presidential election campaign.

“The bad news is that our politics has been a little screwed up lately,” he said, pointing to the Republican party’s nomination process.

But he urged his donors to help the Democratic party organize against Trump.

“We got to get busy and we got to organize, and we got to work,” he said. “And the only way we do that effectively is when we have support from folks like you.”

Still looking for the downside here. Artificial reefs for recreational scuba divers sound good. So, ALL of manhattan? How deep will the water be there oh sage one? Heard the tix were $33,400/person.

OK. So if I go to NY as a tourist, I know that the Swimming lessons at the YMCA when I was 7 will come in handy.

Just like Hillary’s campaign ad that cries about building a wall between mexico

Isnt that a positive?

[SandRat]

So long as Obama and Gore are chained down to the very bottom.

And that is a bad thing, exactly how?

[mom.mom]

So it will be like Venice? Cool.

[The Toll]

It will be underwater from cab drivers urinating on the side of the car long before that.

Looking for the Travis McGee chart, which I probably ought to link to my own freep page.

We’re just descending into an ice age NOW, if we can read the pattern. Manhattan might not be so much under “water” as under “ice” — unless we can turn UP the thermostat.

[PROCON]

..the majority of people think that’s a good idea,..

IOW, a few Ivory Tower liberals and climate "experts".

[HiTech RedNeck]

With singing canoe captains!

"...Obama Warns: Manhattan Will Be ‘Underwater’ If We Don’t Act On Climate Change..."

Geez. What is he trying to do, tease us?

[ObozoMustGo2012]

Don’t forget the convenient purge of millions of liberal votes!

[equaviator]

F- the President.

[Cementjungle]

Sounds like an opportunity for a giant jobs program. They can rebuild Manhattan 100 miles inland... or, they can build a giant seawall. Think of all those government jobs!

[HiTech RedNeck]

The great seawall of Trump. Sounds like a plan. Hello, Netherlands of the Western Hemisphere?

[dfwgator]

He says it like that would be a bad thing.

[EQAndyBuzz]

I am guessing that if Manhattan goes under water the Sptaxi service will be provided by SCUBER?

[Hotlanta Mike]

And if you like your plan you can keep your plan...
