Warming Report Warns of Increased Flooding
11th July 2007
Item.
One-hundred-year floods could come as often as once every 10 years by the end of this century … New York City might have to swelter through a full month with temperatures over 100 degrees.
Personally, I’m in favor of anything that makes New York more like Texas.
Without reductions in emissions, sea levels could rise, inundating coastal areas on southern Long Island and pushing water over parts of lower Manhattan, flooding the financial district and pouring water into the subways, making them inoperable.
So what’s the bad news?
