Scientists predict floods in New York from global warming

New York and several coastal cities in northeast United States would suffer a huge upsurge in floods by the end of the century if temperatures continue to rise because of global warming, the Union of Concerned Scientists said in a report published Thursday. New York State’s 3.5-billion-dollar agricultural industry, particularly its apples, could be devastated and New York City could be hit by floods every 10 years instead of every 100 years.
