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.”

Or drop.
Or stay the same.
Either way its due to Global Warming (er.. Climate Change), pay up your Carbon Credit fees you deniers...

[chiller]

The drop dead dates are always far enough off that everyone forgets. Let’s check back in a year for the approx. 2” annual rise.

So the rain is going to cause the oceans to rise? 10 inches in the next 10 years?

[Fireone]

This just in!.....
A cow could jump over the moon!

I tend to think land is sinking.

[caww]

I agree it’s sinking.... as are all the Islanders claiming first in line for Climate Change revenue handouts.

But we also “can’t rule out” that this entire article is a wheelbarrow load of male bovine feces, either.

Only New York???

Isn’t it connected to the Atlantic Ocean? Doesn’t Archimedes Principle have any meaning anymore?

[DAC21]

Not likely, but one can hope it raises 30 feet and destroys that cess pool.

What a joke.

[stratboy]

And yet they can’t accurately predict the weather 3 days from now with any consistency.

Too many idiots fall for this junk science, “sky is falling” crap.

SURE-—AND I COULD HOST KEVIN COSTNER & ELON MUSK FOR DINNER

I KNOW WHAT I WOULD COOK-—

BUT I DO NOT HOLD OUT ANY HOPES THAT THEY WOULD ACTUALLY COME.

Lake Mead gave up a number of carcasses when the levels dropped.

I guess Obama’s dacha on Martha’s Vineyard is in danger too. It would be a real shame if it was washed away.

There is no rule that says you have to post every dumb article you come across.

Giant mutant undead condors COULD begin writing poetry while they abduct your children. “Could” is a big zone.
