They should look to Denmark for sea gates to push back the seas.

So which is it?
Seas rising or island sinking?

I am from Wisconsin and in the 1990s I was taught that the Great Lakes were drying up and nothing could be done to stop it. Move ahead 25 years and the issue was the rising Lakes and how it would completely erode away many beaches.

So are apologies owed to Rep. Hank Johnson?

So mass settling is outpacing the rising seas from climate change? Maybe NYC should relocate to Boise, Idaho. Take Washington DC with them. Let the FBI sink out in the swamps around Quantico, in their new Stasi-quarters.

Pretty soon this is all that will remain...
Hopefully Kevin Costner will figure some way out...

I saw this clown interviewed by Lee Goldberg who is a meteorologist here in NY. The engineer completely made a WAG on this. He basically claims he figured out the weight of over 1M buildings, came up with a load and weight number and determined it’s sinking 1mm a year. Total and absolutely useless exercise. But I’m sure he got a government grant to do this.

It’s good Christie is over on the Jersey side if he moved to NYC it might be the end.

No. Sinking is not ‘tipping over’.

I thought the reason why almost all of the biggest buildings are where they are because they’re built over granite bedrock. How does that sink?

Hundreds of thousands of tons of buildings on a small island and anyone is surprised it would start sinking? Wow - I’m speechless.
