Not that it's really relevant to the overall point.

I'll trust the guys who've been working there and looking at the same depth markers for decades over people who've faked data and been busted doing it more than once.

We are actually in an interglacial period between ice ages

Correct

Nobody ever mentions that we don’t have any viable solutions to fix the proposed problem anyway.
As if our federal government can change the climate. They can’t even ban bump stocks.
Scientists even admitted that the Paris Agreement’s best case scenario (which we all know is a fairytale aimed at wealth redistribution anyway) would only impact the climate by 1 degree over 100 years.
Oh, but it’s a step in the right direction! Blob fish calls bullshite.
We should always aim to be better stewards of our planet, but hamstringing tax payers and our economy in the name of Al Hypocrite who has 50 times the carbon footprint of the avg American is simply idiotic.

Climate change is indisputable, if you want to argue the greenhouse effect and it's role then that's a legitimate conversation. Climate Change however has very little to do with why Louisiana is fricked. We sit on very mucky soil that was deposited by the Mississippi flooding and dropping sediment so when you stop the flooding no new material gets deposited but the soil continues to consolidate and subside. Obviously there are a ton of factors at work and can all contribute to our predicament, but the biggest is subsidence IMO.

The climate is always changing. The land in south Louisiana is subsiding. I'm not arguing either point.

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.

I remember when the water on the Gulf Coast was 400 feet lower than it is today and those massive Cypress forests now sit 30 to 60 miles out in the Gulf of Mexico. 
Now this damn climate change caused by an influx of CO2 Emissions has caused the water to jump 400 feet. 4 cm just in the last 40 years alone!

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.
I'm here to tell you that it has. Now whether it due to rising sea level or sinking land or man made levees or oil canals, I have no idea, but we have much more water in places on the coast that never had them 5 years ago.

True.
Also true is that the Earth has been in a greenhouse state for approximately 80% of the past half billion years. Ice ages and interglacial periods are, by comparison, relatively rare.

The fact they found 20+ more active volcanoes under neath the Polar Ice caps wouldn't have anything to do with Melting icebergs and water rising, no not at all.

I am 29 and have been fishing the coast since I was 10. There are islands/marsh that I used to fish that are gone now. Just driving the highway along holly beach I can notice how much closer the gulf is to the road.

Went there over the weekend for Easter Egg hunt. That place is beautiful.

None of this is the result of "climate change":
quote:
"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."
