Talk:September 2023 New York floods

Should we mention last year’s historic flooding?
This seems to be apart of a larger Climate Change Topic and I think something can be said about it here in relation to what’s happened last year. 75.211.14.223 (talk) 23:56, 29 September 2023 (UTC)
 * This seems like a good start:
 * Here's an article from Reuters about the connection to climate change and this becoming "a new normal"
 * The Independent says flooding is blamed on climate change.
 * The New York Times states "'This changing weather pattern is the result of climate change, and the sad reality is our climate is changing faster than our infrastructure can respond', said Rohit Aggarwala, commissioner of the New York City Department of Environmental Protection." and "The scenes of water rushing over roads and sidewalks were similar to those in 2021 when Hurricane Ida inundated the city and left 11 people dead in Queens. That storm was a warning sign, said Daniel A. Zarrilli, a special adviser to Columbia University on the institution’s climate and sustainability practices."
 * I am happy to work on this. Any other thoughts about whether is a good start?–CaroleHenson (talk) 05:00, 1 October 2023 (UTC)
 * I added the September 2023 New York floods section.–CaroleHenson (talk) 05:21, 1 October 2023 (UTC)

Tom Parsons, et al. May 2023 study about increased flood risk
There have been dozens of media articles since Tom Parsons article was published in May 2023 about increased flood risk in New York City. I haven't found news reporting about it directly related to this floods. Should it be added in the article anyway? NeonSpectre (talk) 20:37, 2 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Could you link the article here? I had not heard about this article from Tom Parsons until you mentioned it. The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 20:53, 2 October 2023 (UTC)


 * News reports about the study warning of increased flood risk were of varying quality. The Guardian published a headline that "New York City is sinking due to weight of its skyscrapers" on May 19. Tom Parsons made additional comments to AFP that were published in June.

 * My take is that it would be better to cover that in another article like Extreme weather that could be linked in articles about specific climate change / flooding events. Perhaps a See also - or within the body of the article.


 * Or, perhaps an article specifically about flooding due to climate change.–CaroleHenson (talk) 23:23, 2 October 2023 (UTC)
