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.

It could only improve the place.
Stong?
Yes it is. When the elite start selling their beachfront properties then maybe I will take this seriously. However they have been saying this BS for 40+ years.
According to Algore, NYC is supposed to be under water already.
Exactly how do sea levels rise at different levels in different areas?
It’s called see level for a reason
These guys are a dangerous hoot
if levels rise 13 inches its from all the pee the urinalists are peeing on our heads, not rain or warming they claim its from.
I’ve lately taken to comparing old maps to Google Earth. Boston Harbor has several, low lying, island represented in maps from the 1700s. I compared those old maps to Google Earth, and guess what? All the islands are still there and they have maintained their basic shapes. I guess I can’t believe my own eyes though, because those islands should have disappeared decades ago.
Liberals have claimed this for decades. No sea level rise whatsoever.
How about surging up 13 feet!
Shouldn’t have stolen it from the indians.
BUMP!
We’ve been hearing this bullcrap for more than 30 years.
i thought NYC had already started building a YUGE seawall around their gazillions of miles of coastline ... you know, just in case ...
oh wait! ... i bet they had to stop that and use the money for the bazillions of illegal aliens flocking to their sanctuary shores for all the free stuff NYC is giving them ...
There could be less passing space dust in the solar system, allowing a larger percentage of sunlight to hit Earth.
Poor obunghole! His mansion in the Vineyard is going to be swamp land! LOL
Sea levels around NYC could surge up to 13 inches in 2030s due to climate change: state study,

Darn! Why only 13 inches!?!
A13-inch rise in sea level should be barely enough to flush the swill out of NYC.
This just in from correspondent C. Little; The sky is falling! The sky is falling!
Absolute BS, I didn’t know the post was this far gone
