In New York City, like the rest of the world, alarming rates of accelerated sea-level rise continue to…not happen.
In 1986, Dr. James Hansen, the Godfather of global warming alarmism, claimed Earth’s temperature would rise by about 4°F between 1986 and 2010.
That didn’t happen.
In 1988, Hansen predicted that within 20 years (2008), New York City’s West Side Highway would be underwater due to rising seas.
That didn’t happen.
According to a new study (Boretti, 2020), the rates of sea-level rise along the coasts of New York City are modest, at best: 0.7 to 1.0 millimeters per year (mm/yr) with just 0.008 mm/yr² acceleration.
The factor affecting New York City’s relative sea level the most is subsidence, which amounts to -2 to 3 mm/yr.
The lack of significant sea-level rise or acceleration not only applies to New York City, but to the rest of the world.
Dr. Boretti reports that the Earth’s long-term tide gauges show sea levels are rising at a pace of just 0.3 mm/yr on average and that “there has been no detectable acceleration in the rate of sea-level rise” in the last century.
So although “climate models predict that rising CO2 levels should cause an accelerated sea-level rise,” this, thus far, hasn’t happened.

With fewer people working in NYC, there will be less weight and less sinking. Perhaps Pelosi should write a check to save the city.

Can somebody tell us how they measure 0.03mm of sea water? And what if an El Nino causes temperature rise of oceans, which takes time to circulate? Against what do they say sea level has risen? What about land sinkage? etc etc etc.
A 2018 research paper from Oregon State University by Professor Peter Clark shows a high correlation between fossil fuel emissions and sea level rise. Pls see

However, the Clark 2018 paper contains a statistical error as I have shown in the post linked above. Here is what happens when that error is corrected

Don’t tell the alarmists – they will be alarmed if there is no climate emergency to be alarmed about!
