In don’t see the problem.
Isn’t this mother nature at work?
Why should man stop the course of a natural process?

Good bet that Louisiana was FORMED one football field at a time.

If we’re losing all these football fields, aren’t we going to run out of them before the Super Bowl gets here?
Huh?
Anyone?
To: blam
So they need a few extra billion dollars to study this or something?
To: blam
Geez.
“Wetlands” = SWAMP.
So, they are losing SWAMPLAND quickly - perhaps drying out and becoming (human) useful land?
I can see why the enviros would hate this.

I highly doubt it. If it were so, LA would be dry by now.........

Huh, so this article is basically saying that Louisiana STILL EXISTS, however.
I thought Bush, Cheney, and Katrina took care of that state back in '05.
To: blam
isnt N.O. considered a wetlands now?
To: blam
These non-standard units of measurement always bug me.
Unless I’ve dropped a decimal or two someplace, this works out to about 28 square miles/year.
The area of the state of Louisiana is 51,843 square miles.
I figure the state will be completely gone in the year 3873.
To: blam
37.89 ‘football fields’ of wetlands gone every day? Can somebody do the math to figure up how long it will take before Louisiana is all non-wetland? How long has this been going on? A few days? A year? Sounds like a load of junk science to me. Mr. Stossel, pick up the courtesy phone...Mr. Stossel.

38 minutes? What kind of scare tactic is that. Needs to be "losing number of X per seconds"
38 x 60 = 2280
football field is 360 x 160 = Area of 57600
57600 / 2280 = 25.26 square feet per second
Bar size pool table is 3.5 x 7 or area of 25.9(close enough)
Louisiana’s Wetlands Are Being Lost At The Rate Of One BAR SIZE POOL TABLE every second!

Conversely, Nevada wetlands are growing at the rate of one European soccer stadium every time I friggin' blink.
You wouldn't believe the rain we're getting right this moment.
