New York City hopes a 10-foot wall can save it from rising seas

In an effort to stave off another Sandy, the city is prepared to wall off one of its wealthiest areas, Lower Manhattan, from massive storms and rising seas. Rolling Stone’s Jeff Goodell writes that New York will break ground later this year on the East Side Coastal Resiliency Project, a 10-foot-high reinforced wall that will run two miles along the East River.  http://grist.org/living/new-york-city-hopes-a-10-foot-wall-can-save-it-from-rising-seas/
