But the old man down in the quarter said don’t you listen to that boy. The water will be down by the morning and he’ll be back to Illinois.

In my elementary school in the late 80s in the NOLA area, they were saying this back then in the textbook

They go hand in hand. Both are problems for New Orleans and South Louisiana...

They should convert New Orleans into a modern day Venice. Imagine the gondola rides down Bourbon St.

Can we start by just not paying to rebuild places that are below sea level when they get wiped out by storms? Seems like a really easy first step and should have been done following Katrina.

ETA: I'm not suggesting I agree with whatever the study said, just that what happened during Katrina is likely to happen again in the not too distant future so maybe we stop rebuilding total losses in the most disaster prone spots/elevations.

Never trust the word of climate experts that own beachfront mansions.

The Dutch should have given up and moved to higher ground eight or nine centuries ago.

But POC will be displaced and will need funding to relocate to better neighborhoods! It's like this study was started explicitly to create the excuse for restorative justice money laundering.

Southern Louisiana is facing 3-7 metres of sea-level rise and the loss of three-quarters of its remaining coastal wetlands, which will cause the shoreline “to migrate as much as 100km (62 miles) inland


This is the most ridiculous part of the article/claim. If this is true, Houston, Tampa, Miami and other coastal cities will also all be under water. The water doesn’t just rise in South LA.

So you’re telling me I will soon own beachfront property? Sounds great to me.
