Many properties in Boston may have to waterproof their buildings – raising critical electrical systems to higher levels or building barriers against storm surges — as sea levels rise from climate change.
The city is stepping up a campaign to prepare buildings for rising seas that could significantly flood neighborhoods during storms.

Very sensible! I'm glad to hear we are being proactive.
More tilting at windmills and wasting citizens' money for a temporary trend that appears to show climate change. It's really just a minor variation without evidence of continuing. Remember the global cooling scare of the 1970s? Look it up.
Watch out for that cliff! What cliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiif.....
The scientific community overwhelmingly says that global warming is real and here to stay.
I smell graft for hacks!

What about the Mass. State Archives, full of irreplacable paper documents. It is located right next to UMass Boston, just a few feet above sea level. Is it safe?
And don't forget the new "kennedy senatorial " thingy. Got to preserve stuff like the Delmonts registration for future study..
