NYT Quote Sandwich

          New York is not ready for climate change,one particular reason is that we are a coastal city and any rises in sea levels can harm us exponentially.  I read in a New York Times article that NYC is above sea level but we still have a lot of people living less than 4 feet above sea level at high tide, the article states " nearly 200,000 New Yorkers, according to the research group Climate Central" (Navarro). With only 200,000 people living less than 4 feet above sea levels at high tide, this is a major concern.  Since sea levels have been increasing year by year it's only a mater of time before these people are living in a lake or have to move because they can't live there anymore.  Even though the city is taking certain steps such as adding rock barriers, laying down salt resistant grass, and sidewalk bioswales in order to soak up the water a storm may bring.  This still doesn't help us stop rising sea levels which will make common storms have the damaging impact of rare big storms.
