New Study - South LA is not going to be around much longer.

The Gulf will someday overwhelm coastal Louisiana. Planning should start now, study says.
From Nola.com
“A new study finds the Gulf once reached what is now the northshore, and warns it could return there in the coming centuries.
“They are saying out loud the things that no one wants to say,” A.R. Siders, an associate professor at the University of Delaware who studies how people are adapting to climate change, said of the study’s authors. “No one wants to say New Orleans won’t be there in 200 years.” Siders reviewed the paper but was not involved with the study.
The argument isn’t entirely new, and Törnqvist has been warning about New Orleans' long-term future for years. In a 2020 paper, he wrote that Louisiana's wetlands had crossed a tipping point and that the eventual shoreline would likely settle near the Baton Rouge Fault, a geological line where land to the south sinks faster than land to the north.

Well, I’ll be around for less longer. So I got that going for me.

I'm no geologist but I'm guessing that if water is sloshing at people's front door, they will be motivated to move.

Where exactly are you going to relocate New Orleans to? Bogalusa?

“There is nothing new under the sun.”
The map was redrawn years ago if wetlands are taken out and not represented as actual land.

They’ve been saying the same thing about Miami too

New Orleans will eventually become inundated. That has been true since the date it was founded 300 years ago. The land it is built on is temporary and cyclical
the fact that the human race cannot think in geologic timescales is concerning but not surprising

S. LA is sinking 10x faster than the ocean is rising.
But we should be more worried about the rising ocean.

Lemme know when it reconnects with the Arctic Ocean again.

How long ago was that map on the left if Lake P and Lake M aren't reflected as wetlands?

5,000 years ago, you could walk from mainland Florida to Key West on dry land.
10,000 years ago, you could walk to Dry Tortugas from mainland Florida on dry land.
The only thing certain is change. The puny amount man changes global temperatures isn’t a drop in the bucket compared to what natural volcanic activity can do.
The sky-screamers have a motive folks.
