well, combining sea level rise and land subsiding, the city "sinks" by around 5mm every year. that's not really a lot. it would take 200 years to sink a meter, which would be the point where the city is in trouble, sorta? i mean, it's not good, but it's plenty of time to fix the issue. or for the whole planet to become uninhabitable anyway
Netherlands is in the same situation, rising sea levels, artificial land, and also sinking due to glaciers from the Ice age, they seem to be adapting fine. To save “New Amsterdam” we might need to learn something from “Old” Amsterdam
How does reducing greenhouse gases make Manhattan sink less quickly? I don't see the connection. Unless they build a wall around the entire island, there's going to be a problem eventually. They need to take some lessons from the Dutch and Venice.
It's a little deceptive to mention CO2 emissions from buildings in a discussion about adapting to sea level rise and land subsidence. While reducing CO2 emissions may slow sea level rise in the very long term, it is not a mitigation strategy that will work over the next hundred years. It's much too slow for that, and New York City can't wait.
Interestingly, when I see images of NY in various fantastic movies, where it gets flooded it always looks so natural to me. Like, people are supposed to go around in boats and elevated rails/bridges/passways, there are floating schools, shops, restaurants, etc everywhere, and you can cross the city via skyways between tall buildings.
The big U…I hadn’t heard about that. I thought the yanks were performing their usual “Naw, it’ll be fine”maneuver. Way to be proactive,guys! You need to do more of that. Infrastructure
Heard about Manhattan island sinking years ago. The whole borough won’t be underwater in the next 100-200 years though. That’s enough time to invest into some form of solution or even infrastructure to combat the rising sea levels like expanding the Manhattan island, and connecting the island to at least Governors island and build around there.
As everyone knows, New York is one of the biggest and most influential cities, and this fact shows that it is one of the causes of pollution or harm to the world. I wonder whether the water is rising or the cities are sinking.
And global warming causes more heavy storms. A few years ago a hurricane hit New York, which was an incredibly rare event. The city will get more of those in the near future.
Old rule of thumb for Manhattan skyscrapers: the weight of the stone excavated for a skyscraper's many levels of basements and sub-basements outweighed the weight of the skyscraper itself. Doesn't sound like the comical "researchers" consider the excavated stone. Regards. Bob
This is bad. Many times a little movement is the structure under stress, then it snaps. How long will this be a gradual sinking, or will there be a snap and sudden drop of the city at some point. Hmmm, if the crust snaps, under it is larva. Not Good!
The majority of the US stock markets are here, for one. Business friendly state and city governments is another. As someone else said the talent pool here attracts everyone. Also we’re very close to Europe
@luigicirelli2583 the scientists are not confused, you're just too thick to get it. Stop spamming all the threads in the comments with your ignorant nonsense.
The sea rise/subsidence rate is 4-6 millimeters per year, according to this video. At the maximum 6 mm change per year, it will take 166 years for the current status to change by one meter, which approx. 3 feet, which is not at all existential. So buying real estate in NYC is still a good investment from a climate change perspective.
Or here’s an idea… expand outwards. Then over the next 2-300 years, let migration away from the coastal areas happen inland, progressively. Don’t try to stop what naturally occurs. That’s some next level human ignorance.
Human ability and immunity is helpless and useless and as long as it is supported and favoured by the fate and the mother Gaia. Almighty creator and his Gods and goddesses ever work no other creature can replace of them or subside them. It is ever Rule unchangeable and unmutatable.
New York is one of the greatest cities in the world! We LOVE our city. First-class museums, concerts, dance performances, parks, and libraries!! And what a joy to live with a diversity of people who by and large live harmoniously together!! If you prefer to live elsewhere, that's fine. Different people want different things in life. But please don't badmouth how others choose to live.

The two aren't mutually exclusive. It's true that we're trashing the planet and it's true that elites use every opportunity for their benefit.

Stinking, not sinking.

*The Bad News:* New York City is sinking.
*The Good News:* There are ways to adapt and improve around the city to reduce water intake.
It’ll make a good base for coral reefs once it’s underwater, the temperatures are super high, and humans are gone.
How does reducing greenhouse gases make Manhattan sink less quickly? I don't see the connection. Unless they build a wall around the entire island, there's going to be a problem eventually. They need to take some lessons from the Dutch and Venice.
It won't sink less quick than it's doing now but if the surface temperature keeps getting up, it can sink faster
Reducing greenhouse gasses slowdown global warming, hence it restrict sea level risings, hence reduce the sink.
Did you miss the part about ice melting? What do you think causes that?
Rising sea levels

CO2 is completely off theme altogether in my opinion
@@luigicirelli2583 What how? Talking about glaciers melting and sea levels rising due to greenhouse gases and yet CO2 is out of the picture?

I misunderstood NY is sinking economically with the title.
thats also true
As everyone knows, New York is one of the biggest and most influential cities, and this fact shows that it is one of the causes of pollution or harm to the world. I wonder whether the water is rising or the cities are sinking.
its both of them
4-6mm a year means water levels in NY will be about 1m higher in 200 years time.
but it won't
@@luigicirelli2583 Ok Nostradamus 😂
@@rickenbacker472 water levels have remained the same for centuries - historian
@@luigicirelli2583 No, they haven’t. A lot of land ice is melting, which leads to rising sea levels.
And global warming causes more heavy storms. A few years ago a hurricane hit New York, which was an incredibly rare event. The city will get more of those in the near future.
That's wild
Water level rising and the city goes down..😢
Nope. Look at the Netherlands. Easily fixed.

Why do corporations need to have their main offices in New York City? There are other cities to move to in the huge country
Because of the talent concentrated in one place. They all feed each other. Investment banks need lawyers, accountants, IT etc.

@user-xp7ms4bx2r there's no need rewatch the video; the scientist in the video are very confused
To give it a Gullible 🌎 warming spin .☝️
In the case of New York it’s both, and it clearly explained in the video.
@@kellydalstok8900 you can explain it, but it is not true, so, explain all you want, it is not true

So if it does sink there won’t be a New York City anymore. If I was a resident I’d decide on moving out.
Let's move to "Eastern Manhattan" in Japan! That's great, and have ferries!

The sinking is slow enough so people can move out
Compared to other problems caused by climate change & species extinction - where is "New York" ?
Or here’s an idea… expand outwards. Then over the next 2-300 years, let migration away from the coastal areas happen inland, progressively. Don’t try to stop what naturally occurs. That’s some next level human ignorance.
It’s sinking because people had no common sense to put up buildings close to water.
compare NY sinking 2 mm every year to Jakarta sinking 30 cm per year
Poetic.
Yes
And the "miles thick" ice sheet melted away when man discovered fire.....
No qualifications whatsoever, but denying scientific evidence is a celebration of ignorance and stupidity
Well it will not sink an entire ground floor within your lifetime so dont worry about it.
the sinking is caused by massive amount of weight including human beings
It’s ok just build higher
So.. it is not sinking.. it is beimg flooded.
It’s both, genius. Watch the video again; it’s clearly explained.
What is it sinking about?
Yes, this is true... New York is under water very soon.
