The weather extremes are enough to drive some people to pick up their lives and look for more climate-friendly places to live. Jesse Keenan, a climate adaptation expert at Tulane University living in low-lying New Orleans, is among them. “Another Katrina is going to happen,” he said, referring to the hurricane that struck the city in 2005. “I tell my students this: ‘Within your lifetime, Tulane will no longer be a university. Your alma mater will relocate or disappear because of where it is.’”


Never mind Tulane didn't even flood during Katrina. But you better get rid of your gas stove and buy an EV to prevent this catastrophe

Not linking tabloids like the new york times

It is unearthly hot in the New South.

I think the northern elitist libs May move back up north. It’s just too hot and dangerous, and racisty.

I want to make a plea to the conservative northerners that moved down here, though:


Please stay.

What the hell is a climate adaptation expert? Does this idiot know that the reason Katrina was so bad was because LA politicians for years used levee funds for other things and many levees were in very poor shape or had subsided and not been brought back to original levels? That’s been fixed now….allegedly.

You too can pay $80K a year to have someone like Jesse Keenan teach you.

This was the same guy that was testifying to congress that all Universities should reject money from O&G companies. But then it was pointed out to him that Tulane had significant donations from Murphy Oil and others.

I thought this was going to be some woke shite about them being named after a slave owner.

If Tulane relocates or disappears, it won't be because of climate change.

Tulane fixing to move to the north shore because Latoya made Nola so shitty and use climate change as an excuse.

That's an even money bet, but not for the reasons they want. How many monied northeastern families are going to continue sending their kids to the crime wave that is New Orleans?

Unless they triple campus security or build a wall around the place.

Whatever Tulane pays this person, it is a complete waste of money. Climate adaptation expert, waste of money

He's probably correct

But not because of climate change. It'll be because New Orleans is turning into a dystopian nightmare of a town run by criminals. Nobody is going to want to go to school there.
