Hello, My name is Rashad and I'm blogging today about a article in the new york times regarding climate change and preparing for said changes. In the article "New York Is Lagging as Seas and Risks Rise, Critics Warn" by Mireya Navarro, she discusses the fact that climate change is drastically affecting the safety and well being of low level areas in new york and that city officials (Con Edison, mayor Bloomberg, etc.) are not contributing to preparations. Others also agree with Navarro, like Douglas Hill (part of the storm surge research group) who believes Bloomberg doesn't quit fathom how serious this possible threat is. Considering the numbers in the article, it's a serious enough dilemma that could cripple New York, leaving hundreds of thousands home less and the economy in a state of disarray. In one interesting comment left by reader Jim Gordon,  He comments on the attempts made to prepare for the crisis with out trying to stop the crisis from happening at all. To Quote him directly he wrote; "Spending billions of dollars to build sea gates without an Apollo like effort to stem the flow of carbon pollution currently accelerating rising sea levels, warming oceans and more intense an frequent storms is like treating the symptoms without curing the disease."
