subsidence is a real thing as the land isn’t getting built up by spring floods since the levees were installed.
Ironically, the very systems they built to protect New Orleans will ultimately be what kills it.

I used to be heavily involved in measuring and documenting coastal subsidence and land loss.
I’m still involved, been surveying the marsh for 8 years now, with survey data I’ve seen no discernible rise in sea level in 8 years. Land loss and subsidence is another story, you can see that with the naked eye over brief periods of time. Louisiana has 100 problems, but sea level rise in my opinion is so far down the list it doesn’t even need to be mentioned at this point.

Coastal subsidence in Louisiana is a real and serious thing. I studied it and went out in the field and measured it extensively. But the highest rates are generally not in areas where people are living. Its very much soil/geology dependent and there are some localized high rates near coastal faults and water/HC withdrawal areas.

They predicted this same shite in the 80s. Only it Was supposed to happen by 2000. Grand isle and Houma are still there. As is Chalmette, Venice, and Braithwaite. NOAA has no credibility on anything related to the long term future.
Shut up and try to get the forecast for this weekend correct. That’ll be good enough.

That's it. I'm not moving. I've always wanted beachfront property and I can get that right here in BR!

And Alexandra Daddario could call me to come over and reenact the Woody Harrelson scene from True Detective with her next week.
Both of these scenarios have about an equal chance of happening...which is almost zero

I believe NOAA is quoting relative seal level rise, not absolute so they are factoring in their estimates of subsidence over that time period. Again subsidence rates vary widely across coastal Louisiana. In marshland and heavy silt areas its super high.

This is a good thing, more water = more fishing spots

The point of my post was that every time one of these reports are published, the estimates seem to be all doom and gloom then as the years go by we learn it is no where near reality.
Guess that means our tax dollars are working, at least that's what their counter-point will be. Besides, I thought this was getting solved by all of our Christmas trees.

I am well aware of that.

I can remember in the fifth grade (1991) being told the exact same shite would happen by 2015.
Posted on 2/17/22 at 8:41 am to Slippy
In roughly 1984 we were told nola would be underwater by 2014 or so.

So are you saying the survey data is showing no appreciable subsidence in the last 8 years? I mostly looked at geodetic leveling data going from the 50s to roughly 2005. As well as some more recent GPS measurements at key locations. Havent kept up with the most recent data but the historical data definitely showed plenty of subsidence at different rates both temporally and spatially.
