Flooding still poses a great threat. Is New York city prepared for it? I believe new York city is doing the best they can preparing flood damages. In the Times article Navaro writes "the transit agency to spent $34 million on improvements like raising some ventilation grates nine inches above sidewalks and building steps that head upward, before descending, at flood-prone stations" (Navaro).

My name is Sandra. In this blog I will be  describing the feedback I received from my peer review paper. Nazeen  said she loved the paper and how detailed it was but, I should include more of my personality into the paper. She suggested I add more detail from the book and maybe include a quotation sandwich. Sanjida notice that I repeated some details. I plan on taking their advice and adding or deleting information they thought would help my paper. My biggest concern about the paper would be being unable to incorporate everything I have to, to get an A paper. I think the teacher was pretty clear on what to do. I just need to be more sure of myself.

My name is Sandra. In this blog I will be explaining two graphs. In the first graph it shows temperature change from 1900c beginning from 1850 to 2020. The gray line shows hadley centre, the dark line shows natural climate data center and the dotted lines shows GISS. in the second graph it shows how the temperature has gone up from 1900 through the years of 2010. The dark line  with the circle in the middle represent rice models-2010. The very dark dotted line with the shaded square shows emf-22 models and the lines A1B, A2, B1 and B2 represents emissions. For example  graph two shows the global temperature increase from 1900c to 2100 to be between 1.8 and 4.0. These models are used to compare changes that may occur  in the following years.

My Name is Sandra and in this blog I am responding to an assignment in my English 101 class relating to, a New York times article about climate change. The article explains some of the concerns and how New York is not prepared for flood risk among rising seas. There's a likelihood rising seas will have more severe storms. In the article critics says the state is not up to speed with possible dangers of flooding.
             The mayor has ordered research to be done and prepare installation of green roof to absorb water and advising property owners about removing boilers from basements, but according to Douglas Hill, the state of New York have no sense of urgency as far as being prepared for these situations. Some concerns for places such as the south Bronx and Sunset Park which have waterfronts with chemical plants, oil-storage and garbage can have people walking in dangerous waters. The city needs to address the possibility of rising seas before beginning projects and enforcing regulations.
           It is estimated by Con Edison to cost about 25 million dollars to add submersible switches and high voltage transformers, while some New York planners consider using retractable watertight gates for windows in new buildings. Some believe prevention is the key to the problem, some insist on getting sea gates, but at some point aren't these sea gates going to fail as the sea level continue to rise?
         Jim Gordon believes in order to ensure our health we need to transform clean and renewable energy. Using billions to build sea gates without trying to bine the way carbon pollution is picking up in speed and rising sea levels is like putting a bandage on the wound without treating it. I agree with Jim because it doesn't make sense to spend so much money building sea gates while the sea level is still rising. The sea gates as some point won't work. It makes sense take care of the problem at hand instead of just treating the symptoms and not the actual problem itself.

              In page four the book The Climate Casino. The Author Mr. Nordhaus mentioned  the sources of global warming as far as burning fossils which produces carbon dioxide gases such as CO2  called greenhouse gases which builds up around us and it doesn't go away. It causes change every where around us such as in the temperature and the atmosphere.
 I find it interesting and also agree with what he is  because it only cause for concerns. It's only going to cause more issues such as temperatures that provide greater threats, water and rivers issues. The changes are critical to the our surroundings. It would have a huge impact on people. I also think people need to also be more aware of  the problems when it comes to the changes.
