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

and here is the "I'm from the government and I'm here to help you"...
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.

“Kiss another 500 billion goodbye.”
New Yorkers will not pay for this.
The federal government will declare NY too big to let fail.
Besides, how many decades will pass before a project like this is completed?

“New York State Sea Level Rise Task Force”
The title of the task force sort of makes an assumption, doesn't it?

"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."

I think the report that 1 in 5 Americans is mentally is a gross underestimation!

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.
