several dams on the east coast of the US at extremely obvious points to prevent flooding

it's a bad idea because New York City doesn't fucking deserve it and the entire climate-denial political class (which is the entire political class) would raise fascist hell to prevent their own fucking homes from being embraced by the sea

I assume you're talking about damming the Hudson? I feel like this is a bad idea because the Hudson is an estuary. I don't know much about dams but would a dam fuck up that ecosystem? There are no dams on the Hudson below where it becomes estuarial.

used the word "dam" but flood control works like that aren't proper block-all-the-water dams

still fucks up the ecosystem but prbably less than displscing millions of people and submerging tons of industrial waste
