How climate change could swallow Louisiana's Avery Island

While this will eventually suck when it happens, why are people still surprised when things happen with the climate. It will change, one way or another, no matter what we do.
"The Avery Island marshes are retreating by around 30ft a year as salt water seeps in, ushered in by canals dug by the oil and gas industry and the level of the land itself, which is gradually sinking by around a third of an inch a year. The salty brine kills off vegetation, loosens soils and accelerates erosion."

If a single fisherman along the coast said the sea level had changed even a little bit over the past few decades, this would be believable.
Edit: And salt water intrusion caused by canal digging isn't climate change.

Climate change is real. How much of it is caused by humans, no one knows despite what Bill Nye the Science Guy will tell you. There's been periods of extreme heat and cold. There was a "little ice age" in the 1700s where Napoleon's army marched across the sea because it was frozen.

Finally, someone gets it. If we didn't have climate change we would still be in an ice age

If Avery Island goes under water, Alexandria would be covered by 75 feet of water.

Putting levees around the Mississippi river and prohibiting spoil from being deposited across South Louisiana isn't climate change...

At least that article is honest, putting most of the blame on factors other than global warming.

I agree with that but what can be done about it, nothing. It is going to go back and forth until the end of earth's time.

The baws on this board don't believe in climate change.

Say, that sounds actionable...

Oh no where will 3rd graders go for field trips

I think I’ll be able to figure out a Plan B.
I do have a back story concerning a McIlheney relative.
She was my first notch on the bed post.

Damn. I was just there on Saturday. Really makes you think about how precious life is.

Don't be dumb.
I've got no problem questioning how much humans are at fault, but sea levels have risen based on actual measurements. I'm not trying to suggest 3cm over the last three decades should keep you up at night, but it's happening nonetheless.

Do tell...

The Napoleonic wars were in the 1800s
Posted on 3/28/18 at 9:15 am to DemonKA3268
that's erosion and subsidence... not sea level rise... or climate change

Jesus told us to be stewards of the earth, his father didn’t leave us all that oil just for us not to use it.
