From Sea to A Salty Water Logged NYC?

Meteorologists have alerted us to the fact that hurricanes are increasing and are starting up closer to our coastlines. NYC has always been high on the list with regards to ‘risk’. So some scientists and engineers are developing barriers to choke off the surging sea & protect flood-prone areas. But other scientists question whether the barriers would be environmentally sound and socially equitable. Hmmm. Save our city? Or save our planet?

While engineers say barriers are technically feasible, questions remain about their environmental viability. Structures that constrict the flow of water could alter fish migration, shell fishing beds and water salinity. This means that on top of our financial fiascos and environmental stresses; we’d start to slowly starve and have to drink stinky water too!

Sometimes, the good ol’ cave days where water was fresh and clean and cave maidens pranced merrily across the grassy knolls…seems a mighty delicious & happy thought. One good windy wipeout by Mother Earth might just be the ticket to bring us back to the days of simple, easy living. No more commuter stress! No more financial fiasco. No more mad Mom's. Just naked, happy, fresh-water people prancing all about.
