Why New York isn't prepare for climate change

One reason why New York City is not prepare for climate change is because rising sea posses a threat to the fragile building and roads by the Coastline of New York City. Critics say city officials is moving too slowly to address the potential damage.Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg administration is installing green roofs to absorb rain water and making property owners move boilers out if basement more incline to floods in order to accommodate expanding wetland and a rising wave. I feel as everyone in New York needs perpetration. Mireya writes " Others express concern for areas like the South Bronx and Sunset Park in Brooklyn, which have large industrial waterfronts with chemical-manufacturing plants, oil-storage sites and garbage-transfer stations" (Mireya). If dangerous materials aren't secured with storm surges, people could one day be wading through toxic water.
