Quote sandwich practice

In my opinion New York isn't prepared for sea level rise because we are not acting proactively regarding global warming because as sea level rises, the risk of flooding and other disasters rise as well. On the article "New York is lagging as sea and risk rise, critics warn" Mireya Navarro said "The waters on the city’s doorstep have been rising roughly an inch a decade over the last century as oceans have warmed and expanded. But according to scientists advising the city, that rate is accelerating" (Navarro).This is sadly true because there is abundant  evidence to prove it.this acceleration is due to the rising in CO2 levels the we are irresponsibly dumping in our atmosphere and so on. I think New York has to be aware that the sea level will keep rising indefinitely  if we don't act fast. I believe that New York has the resources needed to prevent most of the damage that this atrocity will cause. However the city just decide to look the other way in my opinion because it will require a lot of work to prevent the damage that sea level rise might cause.
