The images are impressive. After passing through the United States, Storm Ida this time hit New York. On Thursday, September 2, deadly floods occurred. The metro also found itself inundated and in some places the water rose to two feet. The city has declared a state of emergency for flooding. Neighboring states were also affected, including an impressive tornado in New Jersey. The death toll was 25 on Thursday, September 2, in the American states affected by these floods.
The scale of the damage puts the debate on global warming back on the table. In the United States, mentalities are slowly starting to change on this subject. “Yes, there is a change, a realization here in the United States. Until a few years ago, only a minority of Americans thought that humans were primarily responsible for global warming. They are 57% today. ‘So there is progress, it’s better. But that is not yet widely shared by the population: today, still a majority of Americans think that global warming will not reach them, will not affect them not personally in the years to come “, decrypts the journalist Loïc de La Mornais, in duplex from New York in the 23 hours of Franceinfo.
