New York's Broad Channel neighborhood is an island in more ways than one: Politically, it is a rare pocket of staunch support for President
Donald Trump in a liberal city.
In one of the corners of
New York that city officials consider most vulnerable to climate change, some residents voiced little concern about the Trump administration's plan to begin formally withdrawing the
United States from the
Paris Climate Agreement, which could happen as soon as Monday.
With the exception of 2012's Superstorm Sandy -- which came close to wiping out the neighborhood -- many residents see the flooding that has forced them to elevate their houses on stilts and scramble to move parked cars before high tide as routine.
