I Just Realized How Bad New York City’s Climate Change Problem Was

<p>You know, there are certain moments where you read about climate change and just kind of shrug it off. You may feel a twinge of worry, or maybe just a little bit of a taste of guilt for that plastic bag you threw out. Then, you say, &ldquo;Ah, it didn&rsquo;t happen near me. Maybe it&rsquo;s not so bad.&rdquo;</p> <p>Today, reality fucking hit me in the face. Hard.</p> <p>As I was going home from a show, I had to make a quick cut through the George Washington Bridge. This is something I have done before, but it was always in fairly decent weather. Today, rain from the tropical storm skirting the East Coast caused a downpour.</p> <p>The downpour was&nbsp;<em>bad</em>. Like, the rain fell like cats and dogs, to the point that I started to see large swaths of puddles on I-95. This is somewhat normal, but then things went from bad to worse.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@ossiana.tepfenhart/i-just-realized-how-bad-new-york-citys-climate-change-problem-was-c3065ae8df93"><strong>Website</strong></a></p>
