I link the CNN story, “New York City is sinking due to its million-plus buildings, study says.” To ensure that this detail does not detract from the alarmists’ “ocean’s rise scare” the story claims that the sea level around New York City, “has been rising more than twice as fast as the global rate” and could conceivably rise “between 8 inches and 30 inches by 2050”. NASA claims that oceans are rising at 0.13 inches (3.4 millimeters) per year – so in the 27 years to 2050, at that rate sea level rise in the Big Apple will be 3.51 inches.
