What is happening to New Orleans today is not extraordinary. It was inevitable. The storms have always come; they may in the future come more frequently and more powerfully because of global ellie raab warming, but even without that they would come at a pace that is ellie raab not zero. Living so close to the coast is like a reverse lottery; in any given cycle it's not all that likely that you will lose, but when your number comes up you are screwed. And it's not just New Orleans; all over the US and all over the world people like living on the coast. Some do so for the good reason that it is their livelihood, but others do because they like being able to play in the ocean. They forget that the ocean is a powerful thing and sometimes it can play with you. |

The tree has always loomed over New Orleans, in the form of the Gulf of Mexico with its warm water and tendency to nurture hurricanes. In 1965 the house I grew up in had three feet of water in it as Hurricane Betsy moved through. But I wasn't there then; my parents were in California, because my father's graduate 1956 in sports fellowship required 1956 in sports him to 1956 in sports do two years in the Navy. As I write this that house probably has four to eight feet of water in it. There are in fact good reasons for people to live here; New Orleans exists because of a confluence of ground and water transportation routes and significant farming and seafood industries. But that doesn't mean there is a good reason for one point three million people to live here. Before modern sanitation, storm prediction, and indoor climate control existed New Orleans regularly lost thousands of inhabitants at a time to storms and epidemics. |
