My family settled in Brooklyn between 1848 and 1881, and I have maps from before then.
This claim - that sea levels along the VERY EXTENSIVE shores of NYC have risen A FOOT in the last 100 years is a lie, a naked and obvious lie.
It's interesting, and more than a little disturbing, that the warmers have chosen to make the now obvious lies SO big that people may be overwhelmed by the scale of the fraud.
A planned goal.
