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.

Four words in the thread title automatically tell this is leftist tripe:
“NYC”
“Study”
“Could”
“Climate Change”
On the other hand, we could only hope it is true, that the water will rise high enough to drown all the rats. But that’s wishful thinking, they’d just flee their ship and taint another state.
Or it could rise six centimeters. No one knows for sure with weather. It was Al Gore who weaponized the climate to serve the interests of the Progressive Drive to the worker’s utopia.
They “could”, but they won’t.
Guaranteed.
NY Department of Environmental Conservations??
Bwahahahahah!
Wanna guess the number of DEI dumbasses contained within? Oh, and they spent months making up the 100 lines of code to be used on a respected Z-80 computer to come up with that Nobel Prize winning prediction.
Ah, the left. Giving the rest of us much to feel superior to.
Well Guam is still stable so he’s done excellent work there! :)
If it’s only in NYC, it’s probably due to the sinking of the land instead of the rising of the sea.;-
So what if it’s true. AOC told the world will end in 2031.
This is like the passengers on the Titanic worrying about the ice machine not working properly.

Folks, see my reply #5.
We’ve got far, far bigger problems here in the NE, don’t we...
Or they could not.
In the early 90s the claim was by 2000.
According to Al Gore, NYC would already be under water by now.
AOC claims we only have about 6 and a half years left.
Now you’re saying the 2030s.
Why do you lot keep pushing the dates back?
