re: Will the city of New Orleans be an inhabitable city in 100 years?

This is probably all true. My house is about a foot below sea level and is protected by only by levees and a floodwall.
Only thing that gives me solace is that this is still quite a ways off. Don't much give a shite as it pertains to me, and I hope my children or grandchildren can put down roots someplace else.
The fact is that New Orleans isn't the only coastal city in peril. Rising sea levels are real.

This thread will be full of rednecks from shitty places like denham springs saying either "who cares" or "it's not inhabitable now."

Eh, a lot of the issues facing the Louisiana coastline are manmade. Things can be done now that will help our children down the road.

The levees are 100% to blame.

Yes, but none quite as shitty as New Orleans. People from that dump are rarely happy in other cities. I suspect they are distrustful of cities with paved roads and air that they can't see.

Define "New Orleans"....
Plaquemine and St. Bernard are screwed. Lower Jefferson too. New Orleans, or most of it should be fine with the new barriers in place.

But brah NOLA is great you can drink and stuff. Think about the history
Posted on 10/30/14 at 2:39 pm to LSUTigersVCURams
Yes
You and whoever gave this fricking talk are imbeciles at best. Idgaf what degrees they had.
One Shell Square is the heaviest building in NOLA. If we removed it, NOLA would have the elevation of Denver.
So, yeah, the oil companies are responsible.

I'm fine with the plant operator philistines thinking that.

1. Build a ring Levee around New Orleans East.
2. Fill up the inside of the ring with water.
3. ?
4. Profit

New Orleans's sewer system is so old and full of leaks that the leaking water has actually helped to prevent subsidence, keeping the city from sinking as quickly as it would otherwise and actually raising some areas of the city. Fascinating stuff.
As for the oil companies being the culprit, they're like someone who watches a stabbing and then after the perp leaves, pours some salt in the wound. They didn't cause the land loss, but they did accelerate it and make it more painful.
