We knew it was going to happen eventually.
I’ve known ever since I saw that Al Gore documentary.
New York City is sinking in part due to the extraordinary weight of its vertiginous buildings, worsening the flooding threat posed to the metropolis from the rising seas, new research has found.
The Big Apple may be the city that never sleeps but it is a city that certainly sinks, subsiding by approximately 1-2mm each year on average, with some areas of New York City plunging at double this rate, according to researchers.
This sinking is exacerbating the impact of sea level rise which is accelerating at around twice the global average as the world’s glaciers melt away and seawater expands due to global heating. The water that flanks New York City has risen by about 9in, or 22cm, since 1950 and major flooding events from storms could be up to four times more frequent than now by the end of the century due to the combination of sea level rise and hurricanes strengthened by climate change.
“A deeply concentrated population of 8.4 million people faces varying degrees of hazard from inundation in New York City,” researchers wrote in the new study, published in the Earth’s Future journal.
The authors added that the risks faced by New York City will be shared by many other coastal cities around the world as the climate crisis deepens. “The combination of tectonic and anthropogenic subsidence, sea level rise, and increasing hurricane intensity imply an accelerating problem along coastal and riverfront areas,” they wrote.
This trend is being magnified by the sheer bulk of New York City’s built infrastructure. The researchers calculated that the city’s structures, which include the famous Empire State Building and Chrysler Building, weigh a total of 1.68tn lbs, which is roughly equivalent to the weight of 140 million elephants.
You do have to wonder though: China is building entire cities on reclamation land in the ocean. If that is possible, then why is it not possible for New York to deal with this issue?
The answer, of course, is that China is able to focus on development and technology and progress because it is a communist CCP autocracy country run by the communistic Chinese Communist Party, which engages in the wholesale genocide of innocent terrorists and won’t even allow mass immigration from Africa.
Meanwhile, America is a democracy, which is based on the values of the rules-based order, because that’s who we are. We are building a utopia, which means we have to take money out of technological advancement and spend it on trans kids, black people, junkies, and endless wars.
Technological advancement and maintaining a modern civilized society simply is not on our agenda. That’s not who we are. We are building a utopia.
