Preparing New York City for global warming and climate change will be difficult and expensive. One article that talks about this is "New York is Lagging as Seas and Risks Rise, Critics Warn" written by Mireya Navarro in September 2012. She writes about how New York City is preparing to face climate change and severe weather. She states "adapting a city of eight million people to climate change is infinitely more complicated and the costs must be weighed" (Navarro). New York City is a huge city. Convincing eight million people that climate change is expected to come and to raise awareness to all to the people of this city is beyond perplex and may be more expensive than we think. I believe that we need to focus on this idea because many people are extremely skeptical about global warming and climate change. Raising awareness to this subject and informing eight million people will not be easy, however, it will be very beneficial. Aside from the skepticism from the people of our city, it would cost us so much money to produce commercials and advertisements in the subways, around the city, as well as on TV. It would raise awareness to those who already believe in global warming and it would also ensure them that our city is doing something to let people know that we are working towards preparation.
