The thought of this comes across as pretty scary to me even though I don't even live in this region of Long Island. Flooding is a threat because it can quickly and easily spread further across our land. 1 to 41/2 feet is a lot for sea levels to rise no matter how long of a period it is over. Although a report is being sent to advise local and state governments I don't believe that much is going to change as a result. People will continue to damage coastal property and natural resources just as they have been for so long now. It is interesting how this is all related to climate change which is a concept that tons of individuals do not even feel is accurate. I feel that people should really start to get their acts together and take actions to help prevent this terrible thing from happening to our environment.
