AOC: All Three Major NYC Airports Are Projected To Be Flooded by 2080

EXCERPT:

OCASIO-CORTEZ: "In my own community in the United States, in New York City, all three major airports servicing the world's most complex air space are projected to be flooded in part or whole by 2080. That has given our current trajectory and accounting for optimism in our actions. Through the fault of human cognitive bias which lulls us into discounting the value of our future, the year 2080 seems like an abstraction, but if I were to have a child in the next few years, he, she or they will have to contend with a world where some of our most precious critical infrastructure goes underwater, or our most staple and widely used crops struggle to grow and feed our population.”
