An exaggerated view of
 New York City in flood
- finally the possibility is
being discussed.

The complexities of climate change have long been debated and its reality denied by many, but now, it seems, much is changing and finally a discussion suggesting its broad acceptance if finding its way into the mainstream media.

The New York Times of September 10 wrote about rising sea levels the likelihood that significant parts of New York City would flood when storm surges were worsened by increased sea levels resulting from our changing climate.

In a story headed: “New York is lagging as seas and risks rise, critics warn”, it was argued that the city was “gingerly” facing up to the intertwined threats posed by rising seas and ever-more-severe storm flooding.
