Reply to The $52 billion plan to save New York’s low-lying areas from sea level rise and storm surges by ChiggaOG
Building infrastructure in the path of the ocean using low-ball estimates of sea level rise is a waste...We know sea level is rising 240 feet, we just don't know how many centuries it will take. Build or maintain nothing of lasting importance within 240ft of sea level and add another 60ft for future storm surges for good measure.
If you want to pitch a tent in a flood zone, go for it. But if you want to put a nuclear waste depot or hospital or transit artery, you are shooting yourself in the foot. Retreat now while there is time.
