NEW ORLEANS (AP) - A $3.2 million center where people will learn about climate change and the threat of sea level rise is slated to be built in the Lower 9th Ward with federal and private dollars.

porkulous.

N’awlins is sinking.
They needn't worry about the sea rise.

Lower 9th ward?

That will be convenient when the next big one comes through town...

[clee1]

More crap to flush in the next “big one”.

Guess this is where Heineken man will need to go to pick up his next FEMA check

See why no one believes the federal government when they say they need more money?

Yep. Issues of ground subsidence and accretion are dealt with extensively in the Louisiana Civil Code going back to 1808.

Leave it to the hivemind left to confuse measured geological shifts with alleged climate change.

Within 18 months of completion, if it is completed, this boondoggle will be a derelict wreck haunted by crackheads.

Wonder what the public dollar to private dollar ratio of that $3.2 million is...

[Oratam]

Makes sense. Like a Victory Mosque at Ground Zero.

[Flightdeck]

Almost as wasteful as spending our tax dollars to renovate a mosque in the middle of China. What, you didn’t hear about that?

[JimRed]

Where it will be promptly flooded out by the next above average storm...

When the center gets washed away the government can say “Let me be clear, climate change will only stop with federal funds”

[HereInTheHeartland]

They should have a center to learn about market based economies and self sufficiency instead.
That would help NO residents much more.

[LibLieSlayer]

These so called scientists will never make it out alive. You do not go into the 9th ward.

[exbrit]

Love it!!! But it makes too much common sense, don’t think the government will do it!

>> Climate change center to be in Lower 9th Ward <<

They’ve pinpointed it to the lower 9th ward? Amazing.

[KarlInOhio]

If they thought global warming and rising sea levels to be a real threat, they would put in on some Colorado ocean front property.

Seriously, the biggest expense of rising oceans is moving coastal cities and ports a few (or even a couple dozen) feet higher. If the global warming theory is correct, there is nothing that can be done to reverse what has already been done but merely to mitigate and slow down the damage. This is like sticking a building warning about earthquake dangers right on top of the San Andreas Fault.

Will it be built on a barge?
