But will they do it? Probably not. This is the shyt I was talking about. The time to prevent climate change has passed so now it's a scramble to try and protect ourselves from what is coming.
When we have an economic system that allows one man to have that kind of money, it doesnt bode well for our ability to respond to existential threats. Think about what could have been done with the 44b that musk spent on Twitter. We've got a climate crisis and people are allowed to amass that level of wealth? I'm not optimistic about the future. Our priorities are completely fukked up as a species and like a drug addict or alcoholic who drinks and smokes his paychecks, our so called "leaders" are realizing too late that the landlord ain't playing and really will bring cops to force them out of the apartment they've been refusing to pay rent on.
Climate change is about to get us out the paint with diseases from microorganisms that would normally die under colder conditions, extreme weather events, and political instability from said events like drought forcing people to get more aggressive because of food shortages and refuges/black people getting used as scape goats. Bosses and politicians are too busy feeding their wealth and power addictions that they refuse to do what needs to be done. If we don't go extinct people will look back at this time like
"damn yall really let a bunch of coke heads and demented old people run everything? Holy shyt what was wrong with yall"

NYC should just hire a bunch of Dutch engineers to hook this shyt up. They are amazing at it. Let our engineers work side by side with them and learn. I think this can be done without ruining the waterfront.

They are stupid asf... when hurricane sandy hit the lower parts and the turnpike was flooded badly and so was alot of subways and that was just a hurricane.
when the big sea rise happens anything near the ocean getting flooded especially at low land level..
The Bronx was affected by Hurricane Sandy, which made landfall on the East Coast of the United States in October 2012. While the Bronx did not experience the same level of devastation as some other parts of New York City, it did experience significant flooding and damage.
In particular, low-lying areas of the Bronx that are near the water, such as City Island and Throgs Neck, were hit hard by the storm surge caused by Hurricane Sandy. The surge caused the East River and Long Island Sound to rise several feet above their normal levels, resulting in flooding of homes and businesses in these areas.
In addition to flooding, Hurricane Sandy also caused widespread power outages in the Bronx, with some residents going without power for several days. Many trees were also uprooted or damaged by the storm, causing damage to property and blocking roads.
Overall, while the Bronx was not as severely affected by Hurricane Sandy as some other areas of New York City, it still suffered significant damage and disruption as a result of the storm.
any place that was low level got smashed...
