@NYCferry what time is the next ferry from Rockaway ?

There are 100s of pages to this feasibility study, but I and others are uh...looking forward to diving in and digesting this and commenting. I encourage everyone working in this space to comment and let those you know in areas affected by the plan to engage. Stay tuned!

Puerto Rico is completely flooded.

Pakistan is completely flooded.

Bangladesh is completely flooded.

Do you not see the pattern here?

[NWS New York NY @NWSNewYorkNY]

Newark, NJ hit 90° today making today the 18th day this month that the site has hit at least 90°. This means that August 2022 now has the most 90°+ days recorded in a single August since record keeping began in 1931. Tomorrow will be another close call with a forecast high of 89.

[Colin McCarthy @US_Stormwatch]

Hard to comprehend the scale of the flood disaster in Pakistan, the 5th most populated nation in the world.

Nearly 1400 dead, 1 million houses damaged or destroyed, and 50,000,000 people displaced.

1/3 of the country is underwater.

When we text you “⏳⛈🌊🌊🏙” it means time is running out to build storm surge protections!

Greenland Ice Sheet will contribute at least 10 inches to #sealevelrise, which could even reach 30 inches. That’s 6x what @IPCC_CH said last year! #ClimateEmergency #ClimateActionNow https://t.co/eGpKvK62od

Chair Malcolm Bowman is Dist. Prof. of Oceanography @stonybrooku. After writing an Op-Ed in the @nytimes suggesting #nyc and #nj was at risk of sea level rise, his predictions came true in 2012. Ten years later, @MetroSurge continues to advocate for sea level rise protections.
