I’m guessing the article never discusses whether sea levels have actually risen in the past decade or two?

They read at the 6th grade level, they do maths at the 4th, and they just KNOW the seas will flood Manhattan.

It’s as if this article were written in 2007 when the Al Gore Global Warming terror was in full bloom. Now that the theory is fully discredited this ridiculous waste of money on drafting plans to put New York City on stilts just reads like a comical short story. Maybe we have a whole generation that will irrationally cling to the global warming hokum for their whole lives.

Any reforms to come from the process, starting next week, would affect about 62 percent of New York state's population, the proportion estimated to reside now in areas that could be hard hit as rising land and ocean temperatures raise average sea levels around the globe.

"The draft report to be discussed over the coming months "is an important first step in developing a statewide framework to address the risks posed by sea level rise and coastal storms," said Adam Freed, who serves as New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg's deputy sustainability director."
Link to the draft report:
http://www.dec.ny.gov/docs/administration_pdf/slrtdrpt.pdf
Page 39 of draft report:
"Non-structural solutions can reduce or eliminate the long-term threat of flooding at a much lower long- term cost with fewer impacts to natural systems. These alternatives rely on planning strategies such as land acquisition, buffer zones, conservation of natural flood protection systems, building elevation, building codes and other local regulations."

New Yorkers are IDIOT!
The man who promised that “OCEANS WILL RISE” is the One currently seating in the White House.
Republicans and Independents alike have already agreed on the solution on the “Rising Ocean”/Sea Level Rise problem:
REMOVE THE CHIEF OBAMAO FROM OFFICE IN 2012!
And that’s the best plan.

Most liberals reside in regions very close to the sea—the very first land based life forms supposedly came ashore from the sea so it stands to reason the most primitive intellects would wish to be close to their origins.
Rising sea levels would be a blessing as these primitive Leftist life forms would be forced to climb above the waters and above their ignorance in order to assimilate with the superior intellects inland.
But man caused global warming is an empirically proved hoax so the idiots on the coasts will continue to agitate and irritate.

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

Many news stories these days are actually nonstories. They’re stories about the fulminations of a person’s — the storywriter’s — psychosis, not about actual events.
What sea level rise? Has it risen ANY? What are the data on that? If there were an actual rise, and if it had been measured, then there might be some grounds for such a story.
But there isn’t any sea level rise. Instead, it’s hypothetical. Since when do hypotheses constitute news? Being hypothetical, it exists only in the writer’s head. And because it isn’t real, that’s the basis for concluding that the writer is psychotic — removed from reality.
