The implications of climate change are well known: melting glaciers, warmer summers, changes in rainfall patterns. But what will it feel like in New York City? By researching distinct changes and looking ahead towards the 2050s, WNYC and NBC 4 New York provide listeners and viewers with a tangible idea of what climate change will mean for the city. The stories each take a prediction based on consensus research from the New York City Panel on Climate Change and similarly reputable scientific studies and explore its ramifications for city life and infrastructure.
