Polo-Rican posted:this is good and any amount of change is better than no change, but this only protects a few neighborhoods of staten island specifically and won't be finished until 2024. absolutely pitiful when another sandy could wipe out half of new york's subways on any given year, which would practically end the city. I've been seriously wondering about this, NYC is facing an imminent existential threat but there's been barely any work towards storm/sea rise protection. All of those billionaire pencil skyscrapers are worth nothing if the city stop working because the subways flooded. Maybe the authorities figure that NYC is doomed no matter what on a 100-year timescale, so investing money is pointless. But then why fund the LGA renovation, given that it's already regularly flooding.

Sheng-Ji Yang posted:It's true you can build 20 ft levees but not 25 ft ones After the sea level rises above a certain point you're living not so much in a city but in a large open-air toilet. Sewage and rain won't drain away anymore, it will have to be pumped out. Do you really think that's sustainable? People here aren't conservatives, you've just missed how much warming and sea rise is baked in already.

Not sure what suddenly accelerating a low mass star to 0.1% the speed of light four light years away would produce in terms of gravitational radiation but am inclined to think it wouldn't be noticeable here. Gravity wave weather remains elusive.
