Hello my name is James Hull and I just read an article called "NewYork
is Lagging as Seas and Risks Rise, Critics Warn"; I will analyze the
opinions of the public based off the article while adding my own
perspective. This article is about NewYork City and its preparations
for flooding and other climate changes. As a fellow New Yorker, based
on my past personal experience with a storm, I feel the city is not
ready for flooding. The need to improve their public transportation
system as well as the structure of their buildings is a must. We can't
get prepared that easily like the other cities because it would cost too
much to fix everything we needed.
DOB from the NewYork Times article told his story about how he was
trying to travel on the Path train when the flooding in 2007 happened.
He explained how they had to change the train's course due to the high
amount of flood waters. He wondered what would have happened if he was
traveling through the flood as it was happening and what the city would
have done in that situation. It feel like the city should have been more
prepared. Rama68 thinks just because we have expensive condos that
NewYork can afford to fix the cars so they can float during floods. I
notice Rama68 is from San Francisco and may not understand the process
for that is not that easy and would probably cost more money than the
condos he ranting about. His idea is a unrealistic concept. Mitch M ask
where are the dramatic changes. For years we been warned about global
warming changes but nothing is happening. I disagree with Mitch
statement because climate changes may not be happening faster than
expected but it is happening.
