If that happens will that add a little spice to Gulf redfish?

The main effect causing trouble is always going to be sediment diversions.

Otherwise, even rising sea levels (which will happen regardless) would be compensated by more sediment deposits.

The peppers grown on Avery Island are for seed only. The peppers for the sauce are grown outside the US.

Some things just don’t taste right without Tabasco.

What a weird article. The island isn’t named Tabasco Island, it is endangered of being “swallowed up,” and the threat faced by the surrounding swamps isn’t global warming, but submergence. (It’s not even really an island, but may end up one.)

Tabasco sauce is what people who have lost their sense of taste use to make their tongues feel something. Any cook who relies on Tobasco sauce is an absolute hack.

Exactly, unless the phrase “climate change” is grossly expanded to include what has happened upstream in the Missouri and Mississippi River valleys, this is NOT a climate change issue.

Subsidence of the Delta islands has been a well-documented occurrence tied directly to the lessened silt loading of the Mississippi. This is old news, but the Left is oblivious to facts and prefers theories and unicorns.

>> The peppers grown on Avery Island are for seed only. The peppers for the sauce are grown outside the US. <<

Is that unique? Why would the seeds have to be produced in the U.S.? Why can’t they use the seeds they grow in Latin America to grow crops they grow in Latin America?

Pretty darn good on a Chick-Fil-A chicken sandwich as well. I prefer pickled jalapenos on a pizza.

OK, this cajun is convinced. Ban all entities that emit CO2.
Oops, forgot.........

Oh well, it’s the Guardian. That’s the NYT on steroids, but with even greater inability to understand science.

OK,here’s the deal. Avery Island is a money pit

Here’s my eyes on testimony.

To visit the island and the Tabasco kitchen one must cross a very short bridge to the island where there is a toll booth. You must pay the toll to proceed. You can visit the factory which is really anticlimactic but there is a large store selling every kind of Tabasco suvinier imagineable from recipe books to clocks with coffee mugs in between. Oh and of course all the different Tabasco products.

You learn that the island is home to folks taht work there, in the village. You also learn that sometime ago, it was learned that the islans sat atop a very large salt deposit. Salt mining was initiated and is still in progress.

Later, it was learned that under the salt was oil. The oil was drilled and produces currently.

It was also learned that the low country live oak spanish moss ambience including many bird species and animals drew tourists. So, a tourist wild life park was developed for those wishing to pay.

Outside the Tabasco Store/ Manufacturing facility is an outdoor eating area and a food truck producing jambalaya and filet gumbo that are absolutely scrumptious and the smells are so fantastic that passing the opportunity is impossible.

“Could”... there is that word again.
Does anybody here know what the word “Could” means?
I have seen it in virtually every climate article I have read since the 70s.
“Could”. Anybody?
