Alleged global warming allegedly to make N.Y. vulnerable to storms-study | Reuters
NEW YORK, March 15 (Reuters) - Global warming should lift sea levels along the U.S. Northeast nearly twice as fast as global rates this century, putting New York City at risk to damage from hurricanes and winter storm surges, scientists said.

Coal contributes strongly to global warming, but no amount of political theatre can alter the inescapable fact that it also provides benefits that we cannot yet replicate with renewable energy. Braving arrest with Hollywood stars is a diversion. Declaring true victory over global warming will take a lot more pragmatism, and a lot more work.

And now the government is about to impose massive carbon taxes, which will raise prices on everything dramatically. Sadly for us, it is based on junk science.
