seeing pictures of the flooded brooklyn battery tunnel made me wonder why that tunnel isnt able to withstand a 13.5' storm surge when nyc has been hit about that hard at least once every eighty years since franking forever ago
swampman posted:i really dislike this new american liberal narrative of "hey guess what conservatives, this is what life is going to be like from now on thanks to global warming." for several reasons. but most prominent is that, yes, severe weather is increasing in strength and frequency, but severe weather events also simply happen, and the extent of the damage should be used as the primary evidence of how crappy we're doing. look at the category three that struck new england directly in 1938, it caused identical forms of mayhem in new york city. but there were only 100 deaths outside of rhode island.

look, I'm not a liberal or conservative, i'm just here to talk straight facts. but maybe it is more expensive to to make the tunnel resist 13.5' storm surges than pumping out some water every 80 years.
