In all seriousness though, even if they pull a stunt like that, ours will still be the tallest in the United States, North America, and the Western Hemisphere. Not too shabby.
We should do nothing. Dubai always wants to have the biggest philic object just to prove the world that it has just as much cojones as the great urban centers of the world. NYC has already proven its worth and does not need to compete. Let the boom cities of the East copy off the West when they could be perfecting what they had started as great civilizations.
