Stop diverting the river and the marsh will rebuild itself. Baton Rouge and New Orleans are dead cities already anyway.

I live just 1 mile north of 1-12 in St Tammany. If I hold, my great great great great great might inherit a hell of a camp that is bought and paid for!

A new study finds the Gulf once reached what is now the northshore.
We already knew this. The land south of Lake P is all an alluvial delta that was built by Miss River sediment deposits over the last 10,000 years or so. That was all open water prior to the river doing its land building thing.

And the only reason the gulf would reach the northshore again is because humans have cut off the alluvial delta from its sediment source by leveeing the river for the last century.

bullshite. When I was in elementary school in the 1970s we all heard how New Orleans would be underwater in 50 years.

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


You're not. It's gonna disappear one day like Pompei. In an avalanche of mud and seawater instead of lava.

time for renewed efforts in pushing a new tax

Yes, as well as the issuance of new regulatory mandates and passage of legislation that will be increasingly onerous on those not upper middle class and above.

yea, no go check how much camps in grand isle are selling for…


Well since we're talking centuries and geologic ages those camps won't be there centuries from now nor will the island. The sand that is currently the barrier island will eventually rejoin with the mainland.

Barrier islands by their very nature are naturally moving islands.

If my great, great, great, great, great, great grandson is anything like me, he’ll be preserved forever as he was jerking off to some random 120lb 22 year old blond haired Asian girl with nice titties as she giggles and says, “hehehehe, whaeva u say, meesa TDsngumbo the 8th. U so funny and handsome”. Then one day he’ll be unearthed as Buccees is constructing their 2034th location and will be admired for generations by tourists.

I’m in my late 40’s, and when I was a kid, there were remote camps all over the place and a whole lot more land. All gone now. We’ve lost so much in so little time it is astounding. With the lack of understanding and leadership on this issue, the battle is already lost.

Will this impact LsU’s football program long term or is it time to switch team?
