LaGuardia Airport is about to be rebuilt in New York City, but by the end of the century, fish could be swimming where airplanes once parked at the terminal. Thatâs because sea levels in the area could rise by as much as 6 feet over the next 75 years, according to new predictions released by the state of New York.
New York State environment officials announced Friday that theyâre creating new sea level rise regulations that will help coastal communities build more resilient homes and other buildings that will be better able to withstand storm surges and other flooding made worse by rising seas driven by climate change.
The new regulations will require developers in New York City, along Long Island and on the shores of the Hudson River to prepare for sea levels that could rise between 15 and 75 inches by 2100. At the far end of that scale, many of the areas hit hard by Hurricane Sandy â the Rockaway Peninsula and the shores of Staten Island, for example â could be underwater

Global warming is the second biggest hoax going, topped only by the boy barry himself.
The land sinks, thereby causing a "rise"
or
more water is dumped on the earth on a global level tat actually "raises" the level
Step back from the earth a bit and sit down on the moon, gazing upon Earth's blue marbley beauty and imagine the huge pitcher of water God's gonn'a have to pour down to flood Manhatten ... but not sink Venice ?
So much water that LaGuardia ends up under sea level and SanFransisco DOESN'T slip away ?
People just don't think, anymore
The best explanation I’ve seen so far, other than a fix at FR’s end, is to copy & paste the excerpt into notepad with ANSI encoding. Then copy & paste that back into FR. The symbols you see have to do with the encoding of the punctuation marks like the “Smart Quotes” used in MS Word.

I grew up on the beach in Long Island and was told 40 years ago there was a theory about the greenhouse effect. Las Tim I checked , three months ago, the high tide mark on th Long Island sound, was where it was 40 years ago
The cigar smoking group sitting on the beach still after 40 years they don’t talk about global warming.
Btw. It’s a mistake to assume everyone in my is a dem.
This is so stupid it’s not worth commenting on.
Sea level rising by 6’. Yeah, right.
Remember, this is the city where the guys are always trying to sell the Brooklyn Bridge to the rubes.
Same guys doing the selling; they think we are the marks willing to buy.
You would have to insert the head goron in to the picture. Shouldn’t he be on his way to gay paree by now? I mean if he’s gonna swim to avoid polluting the atmosphere he’s only got 23 days to get there. I foresee a giant blizzard bound for gay paree around the end of the month. :>}
Well, they are used to “white”.
The level of stupidity needed to believe that sea level will rise six feet in a single lifetime is absurd. The numbers simply do not add up.
Meanwhile, the waves lap gently on the little beach that has held Plymouth Rock since 1621. Proving the ocean level is where it always has been.
They should relocate the whole mess, lots of high ground in Afghanistan.
Manbearpig’s gonna get you! He’s totally cereal!
Well, then all that water would have to come from the Antarctic since the north pole ice is a floating ice mass in the Arctic sea.
Since the average annual temperature of the Antarctic is approx. -47 degrees F, that would require an increase in surface temperature of 79 degrees over a prolonged period of time.
About the only thing I can think of that would create such an increase in temperature is if the earth got knocked out of orbit and sent heading towards the sun.......
In that case we're screwed and New Yorks fear of rising water will be the least of their problems.......
New York City has a better chance of being Nuked than being underwater because of Globull Warming.
Heck, they have a better chance of being attacked by Godzilla.
Just put it in perspective. It's better than when the homonazis launched their "same sex erotic art", i.e., fag porn, against us a few years back.
We don’t want it here.
