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.”

‘New York will probably be like Florida 15 years from now,’ - St. Louis Post-Dispatch Sept. 17, 1989
[In New York City by 2008] The West Side Highway [which runs along the Hudson River] will be under water. And there will be tape across the windows across the street because of high winds. And the same birds won’t be there. The trees in the median strip will change.
There will be more police cars. Why? Well, you know what happens to crime when the heat goes up... Under the greenhouse effect, extreme weather increases. Depending on where you are in terms of the hydrological cycle, you get more of whatever you’re prone to get.
New York can get droughts, the droughts can get more severe and you’ll have signs in restaurants saying “Water by request only.” - James Hansen testimony before Congress in June 1988

New York City will be under a half mile of ice before Manhattan is flooded.
If liberals truly thought ocean levels were rising, they wouldn’t buy so much beachfront real estate and would end the federal flood insurance that encourages people to build right on the beach front.
Building the Great Mexican Border Wall will be a training ground for laborers. Once that's done, they can hand pick the best workers and have them work on the seawalls around Manhattan, Miami, etc.
Yes. And all those jobs would be “bucket-ready.”
I’ll betcha if I told him that all we need to do is grow more sea sponges, he’d buy that, too.
Ahhh!!!!
Uber-canoe!
Rather than sacrificing virgins to appease the sungod, I propose we offer up ex-presidents. Last in first to go.
You notice they always say, “...we need to do something about it!”, but they never specify WHAT to do about it except raise taxes.
Obama and Gore are two peas in a pod.
And the problem is?
this is the only way they can think of to put Trump under water!
....Washington DC. It is closer to present sea level than the vast majority of NYC. But knowing that is beyond Zer0's ability to comprehend. In soooo many things, he is an idiot.
Manhattan might be under water, but Washington D.C. is under shit right now...I’ll keep the water....
The United States IS underwater thanks to you...ASSHAT!
Awww c’mon. Do you really expect THE WON to know anything about geography or topography?
Wasn’t this ass going to “lower the seas”?
It already is well underwater financially...I’m sure some of that is due to Obama’s rotten, radical enviro-wacko economy.
