AT RISK: Climate Change - By 2030, temperatures in New York City will have risen up to two degrees - and sea level at the Battery could rise more than four inches. Global warming is already changing our City and the challenge is just beginning. That's why New York has joined the fight against climate change and begun to slash carbon emissions by reducing energy consumption and dependence on oil. Our challenge now is to develop a more ambitious environmental agenda to protect our City.
