My prediction is that climate change will hit NJ harder than most states. our shore towns will face rising sea levels and hurricanes, and we are sure to get more sandy's. our best cities, jersey city and newark, are also low level places right along the hudson river, which is rising with the seas. they will most likely face big time flooding in the future. is jersey in big trouble down the road? We may have to head to PA -_-

More Sandys = Very unlikely
In terms of the next few decades, Jersey is not going to vanish, no. What will happen is chronic flood issues will become increasingly more severe in coastal areas, and heavy precipitation will increase in duration and intensity. If you've been paying attention the last few years we have already seen signs of this.
By 2050 the barrier islands/urban coast will probably still be around in some shape or form, but they will see nuisance flooding or worse almost daily.

What does human caused global warming have to do with anything?
Don't worry NJ is mandated to levy taxes on energy and transporation to fight HCGW by the feds so we should be quite safe.
"What lies ahead: Uncertainty. The Legislature is moving once again to put New Jersey back into RGGI, but those efforts have failed in past legislative sessions. The report also outlined 22 recommendations to keep the state on track to attain the goals of the global-warming response law, but few have gotten any traction."
I'll probably move to the Maine highlands in a 125 years or so but I'll keep any eye on NJ.
Then again only the northeast states that fight global warming will stay above water. Just the northeast states that don't participate with fervor will be flooded.

Climate change will present tremendous economic opportunities in New Jersey. As the coast begins to flood, everything will be forced to be slowly rebuilt on higher ground. Including all of Hudson County. And eventually most of Manhattan. The amount of employment for such a mammoth undertaking will be continuous and intense for decades and decades. New forms of residential and commercial building design to defend against stronger storms will also be a boon. Adaptation is humanity's strong point. We control the planet, we will control a warmer planet. We are good enough to do that.
In the scheme of things, climate change will be a net benefit to everyone.

People predict the weather will keep getting more severe yet we haven't had a single hurricane anywhere near NJ in the past 2 years. Sandy was an aberration and had nothing to do with "climate change". Every once in a while we get the "big one" around here. There was hurricane Gloria in the 80's and hurricane Bob in the 90's. Now it's just media and political hype attributing everything to "climate change".

Just more scare tactics. Severe weather scare mongering is older than biblical texts.
