Sea levels surrounding New York City are expected to rise at least 6 to 9 inches in the 2030s and potentially up to 13 inches in some areas due to climate change, according to state projections.

The assessment done by the state Department of Environmental Conservations also claims that sea levels in the lower Hudson River could swell by 23 inches in the 2050s and up to 45 inches in the 2080s.

The DEC posted its projections of sea levels in the New York State Register, based on studies of global climate models. The agency is required to periodically post sea-level projections under the Community Risk and Resiliency Act.

“New York is leading the nation to address the impacts of climate change, which include heatwaves, floods, more frequent storms, and sea level rise,” the DEC said.

you forgot the effect the moon has on the tidal forces

This “Department,” is another example of New York State’s ability to create, “Phony Baloney,” jobs, to pay the offspring of State officials that can’t find work elsewhere.
The people who create these jobs are criminals. The Hirees, are also criminals and many quit in a matter of months because they can’t stomach their fake job paying them six figures to do crossword puzzles and listen to the radio!
I know of a young woman who went through the process.
Her question was “When will the taxpayers find out and will I go to prison?”
She quit her job, got married and is raising a family.
WAKE UP TAXPAYERS, NATIONWIDE!
STATE JOBS ARE “WHITE COLLAR WELFARE,” FOR THE CONNECTED!

End the graft and lower you taxes.

I left that out because I considered that a transient effect, as it is one that basic sea level references work to negate - though it does push the tide more towards one side of a continent than the other.
