Hello and good evening. My name is Naomi and i attend LaGuardia Community College.In this blog, I am responding to an English 101composition assignment based on climate change. In completeing this assignment I will summarize the article and a few of the viewers comments.
I hope you enjoy the reading.
New York is facing dangerous threats caused by the rising sea levels and severe storm flooding. As one of New Yorks co leader, Mayor Michael Bloomberg had been spending time commisioning "exhaustive research of thr climate change" according to the New York Times article. On the other hand thousands of peole claim that New York is not ready and is far away from protecting itself from the dangers of storms and other violent happengings that may occur. An engineer at Stony Brook also states, " They lack a sense of urgency about this". In other words we who live in New York are not moving swiftly enough to armor New York and are not fuly preparing. We should be trying to save money to build gates to block off water from flooding NYC. Federal assistance is also needed to update us on flood maps. There are many ways we can all start to help climate change. As one viewer of the New York Times Jim Gordan commented, we should transition to clean and renewable energy. JulsHz also claims that it is not just climate change it is global warming, which I agree with. Torm who has also commented on the article states that full protectin (of NYC) will take years and be costly. This is all true but we have to do something and we have to do it quickly if we want to survive.
