New Orleans shouldn’t exist. The river was eventually going to change course.
Blame the idiots who sailed up the Mississippi and decided “yeah that’s far enough in, build the city here.”

But yeah let’s just keep blaming climate change even though the city has always been below sea level.

Not even close. The late 80s and mid 90s crime was much worse.

Meh. The biggest risk of the river changing course is north of Baton Rouge

Oh no all the liberal New Englanders that can't make it into Ivy league schools will lose their "planB" backup college.

I don't see the ever-evolving downward spiral of woke-elitist-liberal thinking in this country changing short of a REAL nation-wide threat such as war unfortunately.

How is stuff like this even reported as a news other than to attempt to influence the climate change agenda?

Ironically, all the left wing, climate change advocates generally choose to live near coasts and waterways. It would seem that if one truly believed in climate change they would choose to live in locations with less exposure to storms, high temps and rising waters.

Found the guy who hasn’t studied any Louisiana history. That’s not how it happened dude. The location made perfect sense at the start of the 18th Century.

In 5th grade library we had to watch this video where they told us we wouldn’t have water by the year 2000.

It’s amazing how people keep believing this environmental bs

Ding ding ding we have a winner!



And I stand corrected, some of campus flooded during Katrina

quote:

The water levels stopped at sea level, resulting in standing water ranging from several inches to several feet on the half of the campus sitting north of Freret Street, but no flooding on the other half, which contains the historic academic quad and buildings that extend to Gibson Hall on St. Charles Avenue.)[

If it wasn’t artificially turned to go through Baton Rouge and New Orleans it would naturally choose the shortest fastest route to the gulf indicated in this pic from the thread about paddling the Mississippi.

Good. Those frickers are the reason we don't claim 1908.

Just curious, who artificially turned it first? The Spanish? French? Maybe Louis and Clark?

Oh I know, it was in 1803 when louisiana was purchased by the USA.

Katrina was so bad was because LA politicians for years used levee funds for other things and many levees were in very poor shape or had subsided and not been brought back to original levels? That’s been fixed now….allegedly.

From 1980 on my school classes were told New Orleans would be underwater in 40 years.

Sorry I guess I could have worded that better but my point is that if not for the levees it would have abandoned the original channel by now and overtaken the Atchafalaya. But you probably know that and just felt the need to be an arse.
