Within the next three decades, floods that used to strike the New York City area only once every 500 years could occur every five years, according to a new scientific study released just days before the fifth anniversary of Superstorm Sandy.
The study, performed by researchers at several universities and published Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, primarily blames the predicted change on sea-level rise caused by global warming.
“This is kind of a warning,” said Andra Garner, a Rutgers University scientist and study co-author. “How are we going to protect our coastal infrastructure?”
The researchers based their analysis on multiple models that factored in predictions for sea level rise and possible changes in the path of future hurricanes.

Twenty years ago AlGore stated that ALL of downtown Manhattan would definitely be permanently submerged under water TODAY!
This from the smartest man in the world, and the sole inventor of the Internet.
How could someone so brilliant be so wrong???
Trump will take care of it..believe me.
Fake news, fake science.
The global warming cult reminds me of the communist doctrines.
Maurice Strong and Al "Mr. Internet" Gore came up with this fake science.
You can pollute, but give us your money for polluting.
See carbon credits.
Yet, he could not catch man bear pig. But serially, it's going to happen eventually, right? You really doubt Waterworld is coming?
Poor,poor,poor, affordable housing residents of LIC. Don't say you weren't warned.
"Yet, he could not catch man bear pig"
Huh?
Yet, he could not catch man bear pig"
Huh?
Commentor was referring to an episode of south park that was making fun of Al Gore.... It was a funny episode
You people are ridiculous. Predictive modeling isn't exact science, and there are many variables and unknowns when determining the impact of the changing climate. Whether you believe its caused by humans or not is one thing (but it should be noted that the overwhelming evidence indicates it is). But to deny the climate is even changing is just moronic. Look out your window, when was the last time it was 70 degrees. Just look at the average global temperature recorded and projected by NASA.
https://climate.nasa.gov/vital-signs/global-temperature/
This is the only country in the world, with the exception of Syria, that doesn't acknowledge the clear fact the climate is changing. We have had unprecedented species extinctions, this rise in global temperature, frequent droughts, and wildfires. What more do you need?
Regardless, whatever you people believe, just stop building and buying property in high risk flood plains so us tax payers don't have to foot the bill for your stupidity through the Flood Insurance Program and massive hurricane relief bills.
More scare crap from the elite know it all crowd.
Snow is the thing of the past. Remember that one?
Wow, researchers using data modeling are now elitists. If you don't agree with the model, then argue against the model. Why make it personal ?
Do you disagree with the algorithm ? Do you disagree with the data collection ? Do you disagree with observation ?
Take a look at this article:
https://www.theguardian.com/environment/climate-consensus-97-per-cent/2017/aug/23/harvard-scientists-took-exxons-challenge-found-it-using-the-tobacco-playbook
Read the book that covered big tobacco's campaign of deception: Erik Conway in Merchants of Doubt https://www.amazon.com/Merchants-Doubt-Handful-Scientists-Obscured/dp/1608193942
This anti-global warming campaign is a typical example of how big industry ties calls for "personal freedom" and invokes other hot button issues to self-serve their agenda.
Learn what is being done to you.
My brother has a buddy out on the western end. The guy is an ex-marine and about as right-wing as it gets. Even he has said that the flooding has gotten much worse over the last 20 years."Sandy" was a "nightmare" and now he is not sure his kids will want, or be able to inherit the house.
Do you disagree with the algorithm ? Do you disagree with the data collection ? Do you disagree with observation ?
Pal you are so stupid that you don't belong on planet Earth.

Nobel Prize laurate in not a climate change expert, but Al Gore and his commie friend with great ties to the Soviet Union, Maurice Strong are?
Yes I disagree with all of this climate change nonsense - GLOBAL WARMING FRAUD!
And most importantly I detest assholes that have common core education with no ability to think for themselves.
Like you.
Melt snowflake.
The chief CLIMATE CROOK, Maurice Strong:

Here are the chief CROOKS, none of them have any credentials other than FRAUD:

I think I proved my point that people that can't debate the data make it personal because they don't know how to debate the data. I didn't have a common core education but that stayed was inaccurate. But I do create algorithms to diagnos diseases so this is something I know about . How about you ? What is your background ?
When people make personal attacks and use name calling it is a way for them to avoid debating the topic intelligenty.
The insurance companies stand to lose or gain a lot of money if they get this wrong and they are in the business of predicting risk . Their own research has determined higher sea levels and extreme weather due to global warmer. If it was determined sea levels were not rising they would continue to offer flood insurance in certain areas .

You proved nothing and endorsing FRAUD.

You gotta come up with something better than insurance company data.
Insurance is something you pay for, but when you need it disappears.
But do tell, what kind of research are they conducting?
Maybe algo guy can do some side work for them.
What part of the research was a fraud?
Al Gore had nothing to do with this research but it seems the logic goes something like;
Al Gore said climate change was real, Al Gore had some errors in his reporting , therefore all new research is fraudulent. That doesn't make sense.
I'm confused about what part you are disagreeing with regarding the latest research.
>>You proved nothing and endorsing FRAUD.

>>But do tell, what kind of research are they conducting?
Global warming bull-crap, did you people not forget last winter with that crazy ice/snow storm. Where was the change then. I recall several years ago when it was warm Christmas morning.
If you didn't bother to read the study you can do so here:
http://www.pnas.org/content/early/2017/10/03/1703568114.full
I'm confused about what part you are disagreeing with regarding the latest research.
Of course you are confused.
You are simply ignoring the FRAUD aspect, like the New London University, NOAA, NASA, etc, where massive data manipulation took place to fit certain agendas.
You are also ignoring the financial aspects of this FRAUD.
Not to mention the political aspects.
In the 70's ice age was coming. Then global warming.
Now the new name is global climate change to cover both possibilities.
The powers to be want to stop the proles questioning anything when it comes to this FRAUD.
So where is the science?
@Tom
Thanks for the article.
Aruvian's Research. Yep. Now I'm convinced even more that is FRAUD.
http://www.investors.com/politics/editorials/is-global-warming-science-just-a-fraud/
Indeed is a fraud. Researchers who question anything get no funding.
This is not science is more like a cult.
Here algo dude:
And this includes the field of climate change, by the way. It's a disaster. Being able to reproduce others' experiments or findings from models is at the very heart of science. Yet, radical climate change advocates would have us spend 2% of global GDP, or roughly $1.5 trillion a year, to forestall a minuscule amount of anticipated warming based on dubious modeling and experiments.
If you didn't bother to read the study you can do so here.
Algo dude, I rather read the communist manifesto. Better piece of propaganda.
Where is the science that you so eagerly mention?
Zero science. All conjucture, what if scenarios.
Well you know what?
Get your algos in line, hit Powerball for $200M if you so smart.
Or cure cancer since that should be easy compared to climate science where the best supercomputers in the world cannot even predict accurate weather one week in advance.
Every piece of propaganda you mention will make this site more entertaining.
Nobel Prize winning physicists, astro physicists know nothing about science, but Al Gore, Maurice Strong and you do.
You guys are qualified.
In massive FRAUD and STUPIDITY that is.
Oh yeah, our planet is 4 billion years old, so produce the data for all the warming and cooling, including the one that killed the dinosaurs, WITH ZERO HUMAN CAUSE.
As I said before is time for you snowflakes to melt.
Shilling for this garbage will be met with plenty of facts and we will point out your lies in a New York second.
For everybody:
PNAS = Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
Surprising PNAS paper: CO2 emissions not the cause of U.S. West Coast warming
http://www.pnas.org/content/111/40/14360.abstract
Only on the East Coast.
By now, the careful reader must have figured out the magnitude of this FRAUD that is being perpetrated on the unsuspecting public.
Some even call it Climategate.
More fake science from PNAS that algo friend here likes to cite:

This one involves DNA:

The problem with liars is that you nevere know when they tell the truth!
Now where is the polar bear photo?
That should prove it! hahahahahaha
But I do create algorithms to diagnos diseases so this is something I know about .
So you live in a make believe world. Nothing hands on, no research, no observations.
No cure for cancer.
How about you ? What is your background ?
Science, asshole.
Where you make statements you have to back them up with real data.
Einstein was asked once, how does it feel to be the smartest person in the world.
His answer, I don't know, you have to ask Tesla.
Do you know why he said that?
So which part of the study do you disagree with if you have a science background?
>>You are simply ignoring the FRAUD aspect, like the New London University, NOAA, NASA, etc, >> where massive data
We are diagnosing brain cancer at higher rates because of the algorithm. I don't understand your comment. This is actively being used. It's not make believe. A team of doctors treating patients works with data scientists to find patterns to diagnose diseases faster and more accurately. The field is 30 years old by now and it's how all medicine is practiced at this point. I'm an MD with a computer science undergrad degree.
>>So you live in a make believe world. Nothing hands on, no research, no observations.
>No cure for cancer.
This quote is most likely not true. No one has been able to verify it and it just keeps circulating the internet.
>>Einstein was asked once, how does it feel to be the smartest person in the world.
@Albert
This quote is most likely not true. No one has been able to verify it and it just keeps circulating the internet.
And you proof is what? Your FAKE name?
We are diagnosing brain cancer at higher rates because of the algorithm.
Hahahahaha, I bet you do. There is the money pal. Like in Global Whatever FRAUD.
So how is the cure coming along? Wait, that's no good, we need treatment so we can rip the people off while we manage their demise.
Companies selling the cause and the treatment of diseases with some like you in the middle.
And you are proud of what?????
Totally mentally disturbed liberal snowflake.
That's what.
You want a civil conversation, you pal start acknowledging the proven FRAUD in the data. Then we talk. Until then you'll be met with harsh responses.
Flooding all over Queens is now a common result of any rain or storm. Reason? Millions of 3rd worlders paving over every inch of lawn around their homes for illegal parking spaces. The water has nowhere to go and traffic and subways are brought to a halt.
Remarkable issues here. I am very glad to see your article.
Thank you a lot and I am having a look forward to touch you.
Will you please drop me a e-mail?
