Imagine if you will, huge, roving bands of hipsters without a homeland roaming the country side in search of a neighborhood that sells tight jeans and PBR in cans. If you weren’t horrified by the potential dangers of global warming this horrifying thought should finally scare you into action.
This Saturday at noon, thousands of people dressed in blue are expected to mass in Battery Park for a rally that’s part of enviro-guru Bill McKibben’s nationwide Step It Up 2007 day. The blue outfits symbolize water, and participants will troop up Pearl Street on the east side and Greenwich Street on the west to mark just how far inland the island might be submerged under a projected ten-foot rise in the water level if and when the polar caps melt. Tim Murphy spoke with Ben Jervey, 27, author of The Big Green Apple, a guide to ecofriendly living in the city, who’s organizing the whole thing.
McKibben was interviewed by New York Magazine about the rally and about some more of the possible ramifications of global warming. Asking the question the one question that’s on everyone’s mind when it comes to irreversible global climate shift, “is your home in Williamsburg safe?”
Williamsburg would probably be the one place not only affected by global warming but with residents actually impressed with the results. If you think it’s cool living in a drafty old loft with a broken freight elevator and missing stairs, imagine how cool it would be to live in a drafty old loft with a broken freight elevator, missing stairs and 3 feet of authentic global warming ocean water.
