This is going to be tough for the OT.
Because the OT hates the Atlantic, but also hates NOLA.

Always talking about how much sea levels will rise. My question is: OK maybe, but the how much HAVE they risen in the past 10, 50, 100 years? Seems straight forward enough that any sea level rise advocate should know the answer, yet no one seems to know even an approximation.
Researchers can say that global ocean levels have risen about 19 centimeters in the last century. And the rate of rise has sped up. The 20th-century average is about 1.7 millimeters per year; since 1993 the average rate has nearly doubled — to about 3.2 millimeters per year
Yale article from five years ago, so rates have undoubtedly sped up

Has anyone on this board read Deconstructing Brad Pitt yet because I suspect it is all about airtravel?

The End of Airports (2015)
What's the Cliffs Notes behind his theory that Airports will no longer be needed in the future? Anyone?

The real question is why are we building a new airport when there is one a bit larger that, with road access and amenities like parking and rental cars that works perfectly well on the other side of the runway.
No one can say with a straight face that the current terminal works "perfectly well". It is a shithole and an embarrassment to our region. The operating costs are turrible. It's harder to attract more airlines. etc.
Now, if you want to argue we should have spent 500 million on a major overhaul of the current facility, that's fine. I still disagree, but I do see that point.

Other than the fact that Federal Tax dollars were available no one would suggest this stupid shite.
But they are. And if we don't use them, someone else will.

The one billion would have been better spent on light rail from the airport to New Orleans and if any money were left over extend it toward Baton Rouge.
Crazy how there is federal money available for rail, yet our state government keeps turning it down.

isn't that because the state can't come up with the matching funds? or am i thinking of something else

Amen! The luggage logistics and the security configurations at the current airport are shitty. And you are correct, the airlines wanted this to happen for many reason.

I just hope a non-stop flight to Paris is introduced when the new terminal opens.

The main reason that it has pushed a little from the original date is due to a design change in gates because of airlines wanting to be able to bring in more larger planes.

The whole AGW angle is silly, but putting a new $1 billion airport in an area prone to flooding under todays conditions is a terrible investment.

He's like so many professors
In the academy he's free to come up with outlandish concepts and then pitch them for the rest of his life as his "niche." I've had professors like that, where courses revolve around some dumbass chapter of a book written 15 years ago that hasn't ever been discussed outside the lecture halls of his department.
What a stupid way to try and achieve significance. That said, in the .0000001% chance that airports start going out of business en masse, CNN may turn to the expert in airport extinction, and this dude's ship will finally have come in.
