Re-building New York

The CBC TV news this evening had an interesting spot on HOW New York needs to be re-built after super-storm Sandy.

They showed how a very large chunk of New York has changed over the last 200 years. Changed where land was claimed from the sea, hence is either on the level of the sea or even BELOW the sea level.

A number of things are being proposed or looked into - including huge walls that would be raised if another (which is not IF but WHEN as the experts say) super storm Sandy comes. But the cost of that would be BILLIONS of dollars, and so in a USA ridden debt scene, makes that idea just about impossible.

Some other very unique ideas are being put forth for those in the skill to know what would save New York from another destruction like Sandy brought.

Time will tell if they really do put into action what many say must be done to safe-guard New York. The rising sea level and more huge storms are going to be a fact of life so the experts tell us - a fact of a worming planet.

AND  SPEAKING  OF  A  WARMING  PLANET.  WHERE  HAVE  ALL THE  NAY-SAYERS AND  ONES  WHO  LAUGHED  AT  AL  GORE'S  LECTURES  AND  DVD  ON  CLIMATE  CHANGE (AN  INCONVENIENT  TRUTH)  -  WHERE  HAVE  THEY  GONE?

IF  THERE  ARE  STILL  SOME  OUT  THERE  WHO  BELIEVE  WE  ARE  NOT  INTO  CLIMATE  CHANGE,  THEY  NEEED TO  COME  OUT  OF  THEIR  DARK-AGE  CAVE  AND  SEE  THE  LIGHT!!
