Maybe they should get rid pt their hot air politicians.

Thank you, my friend PO1 William "Chip" Nagel for sharing the interesting news.
Setting emission goals without a significant increase in trees which take in carbon dioxide and emit oxygen.
1. If the city would buy or acquire dilapidated buildings and tear them down in close enough productivity to permit planting of trees with access to sunlight, then over time greenhouse gasses would be reduced efficiently since God designed trees and their symbiotic relationship with humans and animals :-)
2. In one sense this reminds me of the Biblical Tower of Babel, since building skyscrapers requires significant drilling down below the surface to build a significant foundation. :-)
3. It isn't the skyscrapers that are akin to the Biblical Tower of Babel, it is the focus on greenhouse gasses as being an inherent evil. It is myopic to focus on refurbishing buildings instead of increasing vegetation which absorbs greenhouse gasses.

"It didn't target cars or coal, but another major emitter — in fact, the source of nearly 70% of New York City's greenhouse gas emissions. It's a sector that dominates New York's skyline, but has largely managed to dodge the spotlight when it comes to climate change.
"Dirty buildings," they shouted, "have got to go!"
The City Council passed a measure Thursday to require owners of large buildings to invest in retrofitting and improving their structures to slash their contribution to climate change.
Cities around the world have been calling for greater efficiency from new construction, and a number of cities have pledged to make all buildings carbon-neutral by 2050."
