The city is set to be hit by devastating flooding arising sea levels and powerful storms combined to ravage the city.
While in the shorter term parts of the city could be submerged below nearly 20 feet of sea water by the year 2100.
The Pennsylvania State University study warned that if greenhouse gas emmissions continue at current rates the world’s coastlines could change dramatically.
Famous areas such as Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx could be unrecognisable or disappear completely as waters rise.
The “500-year-flood” heights study made the calculations based on information dating from preindustrial history.

Professor Michael E Mann said to the Daily Mail: “If we cause large sea-level rise, that dominates future risks, but if we could prevent sea-level rise and just have the storm surge to worry about, our projections show little change in coastal risk from today during most years.
“While those storms that strike New York City might be bigger and stronger, there may be fewer of them as changing storm tracks increasingly steer the storms away from NYC and toward other regions.”
The study is based in prediction of how sea levels may rise if we continue releasing huge levels on carbon dioxide into the atmosphere cause temperatures to rise ad Antarctic ice to melt.
The news comes after NASA revealed during deforestation has been adding to climate change.
Dying tropical rainforests are oozing carbon dioxide omissions and contributing massively to an already heating globe.
As the trees in the forests die, they rot and release large amounts of CO2 contributing to global warming.
But as more trees die, more CO2 is produced, leading to the death of more trees in what is a slippery downward spiral for the planet.
One of the main contributing factors to this has been an increase in the strength of El Nino – warm ocean temperatures – over the last few decades.
