[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3101044, member: 5412"] Holy Crap! Is it true? The oceans are rising and people are being forced to move inland? Have I been wrong as a skeptic for this long? "This used to be a forest of oak and cypress trees. In March, Louisiana state officials announced that everyone living on Isle de Jean Charles will have to leave. Where there were 22,000 acres in 1955 there are only 320 acres today. They are one hurricane away from obliteration. The evacuation is a test-run for countless coastal communities in Louisiana, who must all move [B][COLOR=#ff0000]as the seas take over the land.[/COLOR][/B] ISLE DE JEAN CHARLES, Louisiana - [B][COLOR=#ff0000]America comes to an end here[/COLOR].[/B]" Well, there seems to be a little discrepancy in that click bait by the Business Insider. If you delve deeper into the story and actually read it, "The principal problem traces back to the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927 when the corps of engineers responded by building giant levees to constrain the river. The result was stopping the flow of sediment into its delta, which once gave the state's barrier islands the material to rebuild as fast as they eroded." So, the liberal media is once again compliant in propagating the bullshat of climate change. The Islands have been doomed since man intervened in 1927, one year before my dad was born. Those barrier islands would still be here and much bigger possibly if man had not intervened. [URL]http://www.businessinsider.com/isle-de-jean-charles-climate-change-refugees-2018-4[/URL] [/QUOTE]
