Their 80% tax rate helped pay for the civil engineering required to do the job. It can be done

How will LA respond?

Put a proper tax on the oil that is being raped for the rest off the country?

I'm glad it's been pushed back. When I was a kid it was going to be doom by 2025.

I could spend a while making a legit post on this from a geological perspective in processes and time...but it's this far in the thread and no one would pay it any mind. If it was page 1 or 2, it'd deserve that attention.

Yep. The Dutch decided that they were going to protect their citizens at whatever cost it took. They all don't live on the coast, but it was a national agreement. We can't decide what to do when a car drives from one parish to another when committing a crime. That storm killed as many people as Katrina, with 1/20th the population. Unreal that people think we know it all here.

Time magazine is not a scientific journal. Get your science from scientists.

Climate Change is the biggest load of hocus pocus fear mongering in the history of mankind.

Agreed, but New Orleans has serious problems, not due to climate change but due to subsidence and coastal erosion.

Hope that another massive hurricane comes and milk the rest of the country out of another $500 billion.

You have to watch the Mega engineering show about New Orleans.

When we would give public meetings on things like stormwater management, subsidence, and coastal restoration, we'd get all kinds of crazies coming out and protesting Agenda 21. We couldn't get these people to separate their political thoughts on climate change from the scientific truths that SELA is sinking due to a confluence of factors not related to climate change. Maybe climate change is real, maybe it's not. I don't know. I do know that New Orleans and the rest of Southern Louisiana are screwed regardless. If climate change is real, then SELA is properly fricked.

It is sad how politicized stuff like this can get when it shouldn't be.

Man, you really bought the facts there
the frick does this mean?my opinion (not facts,dickhead) is that man-made climate change is a hoax and complete bullshite.while i feel coastal erosion is mostly our fault,i can't help but laugh when the fricking extreme tree huggers tell us that we're doomed,and the fact is neither you nor i or anybody else for that matter can predict what mother nature has in store.
