>> Blame the levees.
And what happened to all the federal (tax) dollars given to LA for coastline engineering???

Hmm. Interesting pictures. I am no expert here, but something seems wrong. In both pictures, the background is identical, the picture taken angle is exact, the pole with the sign hasn’t changed angle, etc..
Unless the pictures taken were within just a couple of minutes from each other, I would have still expected some of the following.
The clouds would have changed between pictures, even just a little. The time of day doesn’t seem to have changed. The lighting hasn’t changed, nor the shadows.
Also, by changing the sign, I would have expected some modification to the pole angle, even accidental would have done something to it. But more specifically, I would think that the installer would have tried to straighten the pole.

I don’t think they could manage it without the gov/tax payers funding their levees, pumps & other major infrastructure.

The picture is photoshopped.
The background matches too well in both pictures.

The background matches too well in both pictures. Indeed. Check the clouds. Did they "beam" in a new sign?

The Gulf Coast has been SUBSIDING for decades. One subdivision in Baytown sunk below water level, while the water level remained constant. Same with some condos in the Seabrook area.
Global warming enthusiasts say it is rising waters, but the water levels have not risen significantly in the last decades. Add hurricanes and floods along the Mississippi which open up the delta and you have more open waters and mud flats.

I question the intelligence of anyone who lives below sea level. Death Valley comes to mind. Same sentiment, different reason...

Wonderful article.
As a Louisiana born (New Iberia) ex-native, it saddens me greatly to see such a wonderful wetland succumb to folks who think they can change nature.
However, given the NFL grade mosquitoes, 99+% relative humidity, and politics which are close to Obama-level corrupt, I tell folks that Louisiana is a great place to be FROM.

Wonder if anyone recognizes this state.

Blame the levees.Exactly. The levees prevent silt from reaching the wetlands. The wetlands dies and salt water advances.

We should get to the important things first.

Wow, the salt domes and the French land patterns along the rivers really jumps out at you. I think I saw Boudreaux and Thibadeaux out there on their pirou.

This is BS propaganda!
The shoreline has been eroding for generations, but it does NOT look anything at all like that. If it did, Interstate 10 would have replaced the Ponchartrain Causeway as the world's second longest bridge.
Check the Google image link above and see what it actually looks like. The "boot" has lost a toe or two, but this is total eco-propaganda crap.

but it does NOT look anything at all like that. Yup, pretty damn silly map.
According to it, I should be underwater and here I sit 15' above sea level with the road in front my house (La. Hwy 1) at 20' above sea level.

LOL, I was thinking about all my friends whose houses would be in the Gulf of Mexico if that map were even close to correct.
