re: NYT: Editorial on Climate Change and Louisiana

The LA problem is not tied to climate change. Rather it’s a complex issue with many facets:

1) poor soil quality
2) oil and gas industry decimating the coastal marsh
3) The unnatural corralling of the Miss River delta via manmade levees and flood control devices

It’s just now really coming to a head and there’s not much that can be done to reverse decades of “management”.

The City proper of NOLA will be fine. The surrounding areas- not so much.

But they are talking 50-100 years as a time frame.

Most of us will be dead, no use getting upset about it.

Fix and repair and plan as much as you can, but know there is not enough money in the world to fix all of this.
