we'd still be evacuating, we would just be evacuating that area instead. This is a problem for EVERY port, and coastal area, that we built below sea level. As the sea level rises, a new reality takes shape. There's nothing particularly novel about Louisiana in this regard. In fact, that's the entire reason we hope to use the Louisiana experience as a blueprint for our plan of action in other areas.
- _red 9y ago>ideal scenario I'm not actually advocating one way or the other. Its understandable why the ACoE did what they did. I'm simply saying this is the result of that decision.
