re: NOAA says sea levels could rise 2 feet by 2050 in Louisiana.

Theyve been saying this since the 70s

The average water level at my pier behind camp is the same now as it was in the 80s

The marsh land in Louisiana is sinking/eroding but the water isnt rising

haven't they been saying this for decades?

I remember seeing reports 20 - 25 years ago that NOLA would be completely underwater and uninhabitable by 2100.

So this report is an improvement from that. I guess as we get closer to the actual dates, the wild assed predictions have to become more tame.

Did we really expect to be able to fight Mother Nature this long? We changed the flow of the biggest river in North America. Do the Boudreaux’s in Lafitte think living in the swamp is ever going to be normal?

100 percent on this factual based observation. The water is not rising. I have worked in the Terrebonne estuary for 20 plus years and still tie off to the same pilings at the same depth since the 50’s when they were driven. The water is getting shallower though, due to erosion. Not water volume increases.

AWESOME!
My property in Lacombe will be ripe for high rise beachfront condos!!!!

Someone is trying to get their hands on some Louisiana coastline land for pennies on the dollar.

If they are attributing that rise to subsidence, they mY be right.

If they are attributing IT to "man made climate change" it's fear porn

Easy to figure out. Check what their relative sea level rise estimates are in stable coastal areas. Compare to their Louisiana estimates. The difference is likely their subsidence estimate.

Where'd you get that?

The internet. They removed the signs from the park in 2020

Doesn’t wetland loss have more to do with the Mississippi River being redirected to New Orleans vs. the way it wants to go?

Yes.

Areas where water is being diverted are gaining land.

Look at satellite pics of the atchafalaya and wax lake deltas now vs the 70s
