Begins with Gorebull Warming crappola
Goodbye Joe
Me gotta go
Me-o my-o
Actually, and shockingly, no, they apparently are not blaming it on "global warming", but rather a lack of sediment to replenish the delta land that is there now.
From the article...
"The land here in the Mississippi delta was created by sediment carried downstream by the river and deposited when it flooded. Then in the early 20th Century the US Army Corps of Engineers built a system of levees so that the Mississippi wouldn't breach its banks.
This made life a lot safer for people living along its course. But with no fresh sediment to build up the land, it has been steadily sinking.
Add in damage from the hurricanes that regularly ravage this part of the coast, from saltwater that creeps inland and kills vegetation, and from the canals dug by the oil and gas industries, and it's a slow-motion environmental disaster."
