New York City sea levels could rise more than a foot by the 2030s, according to projections presented by a city climate panel.

The nation’s largest city will see as much as 10 percent more precipitation and temperature increases of 2 degrees to 4.7 degrees, the New York City Panel on Climate Change (NPCC) said at a presentation at the Consortium for Climate Risk in the Urban Northeast. The presentation’s contents were first reported by The City.

Further into the century, “we can’t rule out” precipitation increases as high as 30 percent, said NPCC member Radley Horton, a climate professor at Columbia University, although he added that projecting precise precipitation increases “is not a strength of climate models.”

OF course, the seas could fall a foot or two as well. And I could win the Olympics in the 100 meter dash this year, even though I am in my seventies. Probably not, but it could happen.

I guess now coming into the election fake climate hysteria is going to be ramped up.

It’s the same old, same old. “They COULD —— in 10 years.”

So give up all your money and freedom to the Left, NOW. Ya know, just in case. (wink)

I predict the US will have numerous terrorist attacks before any of Obama’s waterfront mansions are flooded.

The Climate Cretins / Climatarian Cultists are confusing sea level rise with urban land subsidence.

NYC is supposed to be sinking under its own weight. But if it does, they’ll claim it was sea level rise instead and use it as *proof* of global warming. Or cooling. Or whatever the crisis du jour is.

“... could rise more than a foot by the 2030s....”

Six years to the end, maybe.

Repent now.

Even they know it’s lies, they all build their mansions on the coastline. Why would they do that if it was dangerous.

The Henry Hudson Highway has been underwater since 2008. It was predicted, so it must be true.

Didn’t Al Gore say that NYC was supposed to be under water by now?
