It’s pretty easy to see, using your eyes, that the ocean is getting closer to New Orleans. Do you think this is going to reverse somehow? Gov Landry cancelled the projects that might at least give it some band aids

Climate change isn’t the problem or threat.
Bob used to be a great outdoor writer till he turned into a far left fear monger.

That is literally generations. I could predict that North America will look radically different in the coming centuries; and be accurate as well.

Where exactly are you going to relocate New Orleans to?

Delaware is on the coast, baw needs to evacuate. The ocean is coming.
One thing I've never really understood is why New Orleans rebuilt those areas that were below sea level and completely wiped out by Katrina. Why would you not essentially condemn those areas for new construction knowing that it will happen again at some point? Did they at least change the building codes to mandate every home be raised?

Not long before I will be able to paddle my canoe from BR down to the “coast”’ in just 30 minutes. Soon my house will be on beachfront property. Bring it on!

Y’all do realize that not a single person alive today will be affected……….just when you die, make sure your interment place is above ground.

Planning should start now
---Oh great, let's plan to have a committee meeting that lasts 5 years, then come up with a study that lasts 10 years, then revised the study every year for 50 years, then glug glug glug.

Every story like this makes me shake my head that the sediment diversion projects get killed. Blow a few holes in the levees at strategic spots and the river will do most of the work for us. But we can't have the seafood industry be inconvenienced one iota.

there were making this scary prediction when I was in Geology class at LSU back in the 70s as if we all be under water in twenty years, the same prof sort of predicted Katrina, but his version wasn't the levee breaking, it was a hurricane entering Ponchartrain

Wouldn't want to have to run an extra 5 miles to the oyster lease.

The problem with that is that it would silt up the shipping channel requiring cost prohibitive dredging to maintain depth. It would also make the saltwater wedge issue worse during periods of low flow.
Which is why the Mid Baratatia Diversion was specifically designed to not flow continuously, but only be open during periods of high flow and sediment loads.

So when’s the NOLA real estate bubble going to pop?

The Mississippi River delta definitely needs to be addressed bc the amount of land loss since the river was levee’d is astronomical.
That said the central coastline along the atchafalaya is steadily growing and the SW coastline is more or less holding steady.

I mean it's pretty undeniable that land in the delta in Southeast Louisiana is rapidly disappearing and that's not a climate change issue. I'm not sure what it will take to wake people up to that and overcome the special interest groups. If we want to keep New Orleans and surrounding areas something will need to be done. It's also unfortunate that people in here don't care because they will be dead when that land is inundated. I think we owe it to our children and grandchildren to provide a livable state and we are failing miserably at that (due to a variety of factors, far more than just failing to address land loss).
