Sea levels around NYC could surge up to 13 inches in 2030s due to climate change: state study
NY Post ^ | March 3, 2024 | By Carl Campanile

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.

“Sea levels around NYC could surge up to 13 inches in 2030s”

So I add several dump trucks full of dirt under my next house - big deal.

The way to solve the climate change crisis is to eliminate the climate change claimers

Or, the ice caps could melt and release a bunch of Atlantean creatures that would finish us off. Oh wait, they made a movie about that.

The real issue is NY is sinking due to the weight of all the buildings.

The Sun “could” change directions and start rising in the West and setting in the East in 2031.

It’s a balancing act. They’ve hired Hank Johnson to do the stabilizing mathematics required to keep Manhattan from flipping over.

If not, NYC will be invaded by a gigantic swarm of twelve foot piranha bees, or is in imminent danger of being eaten by an enormous mutant star goat.

Or something.
