Low-lying southern Louisiana faces multiple threats, with rising sea levels driven by global heating, compounded by strengthening hurricanes, also a feature of the climate crisis, and the gradual subsidence of a coastline that has been carved apart by the oil and gas industry.
Pure Democrat fearmongering. Nothing about subsidence, levees that redirect river silk, and a century of river control.

New Orleans really wasn’t the smartest place to put a city. But these studies are always hogwash. Maybe one day there will be an event that causes a mass Exodus from New Orleans. But there will always be some kind of smaller city there at the very least.
Let’s cross that bridge when we get there.

Sinking land is a bigger issue than sea level rise.
Once they contained the Mississippi, the land stopped getting new layers of sediment.
Yet this so-called scientists, who I'm sure is paid very well, can't figure that out.

Really dumb. It's only been around for 300+ years and strategically placed on one of the busiest trade waterways on fricking earth. What were they thinking?!

I read an article in the Advocate back in 2009 that said New Orleans would be underwater due to climate change by 2025.

Study probably paid for by the George Soros real estate corporation.

Ongoing sea-level rise and the rampant erosion of wetlands in southern Louisiana will swallow up the New Orleans area within a few generations, with the new paper estimating the city “may well be surrounded by the Gulf of Mexico before the end of this century”.

Stay away from Mandeville. It’s awful and I don’t recommend it to anyone.

Near the mouth of the continent's biggest drainage basin, and at a point that allowed a quick land shortcut to the ocean.
Very good place to build a city in 1718.

There's a train leaving for Chicago daily.
Would it be smart for cold hearted speculators to push this hard so they can buy properties below market value?
