In his news conference yesterday, Andrew Coumo, Governor of New York, pointed out that the storm of the century now occurs yearly. We have had three such in the last two years, Irene, Sandy and the Halloween storm of 2011. Since there is no global or national will to actually address Climate Change and since the global temperature will continue to increase for decades even if carbon emissions were capped, which they won't be, and since sea levels will continue to rise, NYC will need a levee system, and the barrier islands are in serious trouble if not doomed.
