The Frightening Affect of Climate Change on Street

Street

 We have a chance to have a meaningful conversation about climate change and solutions to it. The topic of climate change has gotten a lot of attention recently with the election of Donald Trump. The effects are going to be felt for the foreseeable future. It is important to consider that the impacts of climate change are far more than weather patterns.

In the case of New York City, the changing climate has been the biggest threat to the city’s infrastructure in recent years. In 2008, the number of New Yorkers leaving New York City in the first year of the recession was the highest it had ever been.


As it turns out, the current climate is pretty hard on New Yorkers.


It is one thing to suffer through the effects of a storm, but the effects of climate change are not only about the weather. As we can see from this graph, the effect of temperature changes on the city is getting so severe, that the city won't be able to support its current population. In other words, the city's infrastructure will be in real trouble.


The problem is that climate change will do more harm than good for New York City in the long run. The city's infrastructure is already in very bad shape, but what it becomes worse for is the weather. As the city gets closer to the temperatures that we’ve already suffered through, the city's infrastructure will become so fragile the city will essentially be unable to handle the increase in population that will inevitably come with it.


The city's infrastructure is already in very bad shape, which is why New York is such a great city.

But with climate change, there will not be enough natural rainfall, and the weather will become too hot for the water system to handle. All of that means that the city's infrastructure will fail in the short term, but it also means that the city's population will increase much faster than what we are used to.


The reason that the city's population would increase so quickly is because of the rise in water usage. The new infrastructure will only handle about 1/3 of the city's population, so the city's infrastructure will be overwhelmed in short order. That will mean that the city's infrastructure will quickly fail, and the city's population will increase over the next several years.


This is why it is very important to be aware of and prepared for climate change because it is very likely that your home will be flooded in the future. Flooding water into your home will cause problems not just in the short-term, but in the long-term because your home will not be able to accommodate all of the people that will be living there.
