        I will dispute the 5 years part but in 50? Goodbye New York as well btw. If engineers aren’t solving these problems now they’re fucked but even the best engineer isn’t going to save the cities. Nature trumps all and oceans rising coupled with hurricanes moving further north.

        It’s gonna be wild! Get your popcorn for sure.
