When does St. George become beachfront property?

Coastal erosion will eventually bring the coast to this promised land of southern EBR. I’m talking full on salt water. I’m talking watching and listening to the waves crash ashore while eating outside at Ruffino’s on Highland - not just brackish fishing swamp from Houma to Highland.
I say it happens within 100 years.

I don’t think your response is stupid. I think it’s quite factual, actually. We will all likely be dead in 100 years so it’s a very logical response. My question is probably still a stupid one though

Logical response though would be to tear down the levees if you want to stop it. The river deposits would replenish the erosion if we didn't frick with the rivers path.

You sounds like a simple baw

I don’t think it will happen within 100 years, unless there is substantial sea level rise.

Call the Dutch and the Belgians in to fix this. They’ve been at this shite for a while.

First, no way it would ever happen. When you guide the river to go down a certain path and prevent it from flooding the entire coastal and marsh lands, you prevent the sediment from settling across the areas they once had. If you erode the coast but replace with river sediment, you eliminate or at least drastically slow the erosion.

Oh I agree with you. The levees screwed up coastal louisiana permanently. I just know the so-called river experts will be here shortly to hijack the thread now that you brought this up

It's just the way the Earth lives and breathes anyway. I mean they just found some ruins of an ancient city in the middle east that they never knew was there until a drought revealed the ruins. Eventually, New Orleans will be ruins under a river/ocean and there is nothing we can do about it.

Not as soon as Belle Chasse or the west bank is..

Who cares? If we listen to all the moron liberals, we are dead in 12 years. GREEN NEW DEAL!!!

You are the absolute clear cut leader of the Tigerdroppings fear mongering brigade.
You started the long thread regarding the high waters of the Mississippi River/Morganza spillway opening (nothing happened, again). You were constantly predicting doom and gloom last week with Barry (It rained a little). So there’s really no surprise to see you have this ridiculous take on coastal erosion.

I can remember in the late 1980’s articles stating that by 2020, New Orleans would be underwater and the Northsore would be Gulf if Mexico beach.
Unless something drastic happens, well....

I remember seeing an article in the early 2000s that the BR area will become a coastal city by 2500.

Eventually, due to plate tectonics, it’ll all be gone or transformed into something we can’t even predict with 100% certainty. We can try and maintain it all we want, and I’m for preserving it while we can, but enjoy it while it lasts.

From what I was told in high school we have 10 more years until Lafayette is a coastal city
