Pros: Ice caps endanger NYC
NEW YORK should be flooded with concern about global warming.
NASA scientists say the Big Apple will be the city most affected by ice caps melting on the northeastern half of Greenland. They came to this conclusion after using simulation technology to predict what port cities will be affected when the ice melts over the next century.
According to the demo, as the Earth spins around the sun, the planet’s tilt shifts the water from the melting caps.
And though Greenland is more than 3,000 miles from New York, the melt will affect the metropolis more than other coastal cities that it’s closer to including Boston, St. John’s, Newfoundland and Halifax, Nova Scotia.
Previous NASA research has said that if Antarctica ice in the western portion of the continent were to melt, the world’s sea levels would rise 4 feet across the globe, but the Eastern Seaboard of the U.S. would see rises of more than triple that estimate.
