A fresh breeze is sweeping away climate-change hysteria.

The UN International Panel on Climate Change, often cited to support cataclysmic forecasts, recently admitted its extreme scenarios are highly implausible.The walkback followed last year’s peer-reviewed Dutch research study in the Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, which found no measurable acceleration in global sea-level rises.But these retreats came too late to prevent or even slow the scandalous ongoing destruction of Manhattan’s Battery Park City Esplanade and John V. Lindsay East River Park.

Both epic acts of civic vandalism were authorized in the name of protecting New York from an imaginary “100-year flood.”The schemes are part of the $2 billion, state-sponsored East Coast Resiliency project along a 3.5-mile waterfront stretch wrapping from the East River to the Hudson.

And while a coalition of downtown civic groups and residents recently filed a new lawsuit aiming to block it, public authorities have steamrolled over previous legal challenges.

Mayor Zohran Mandani on Monday trumpeted the completion of a small part of the project — the elevation of a waterfront promenade at the Battery.

The area is “on the front lines of the climate crisis,” he lectured.
