Nocturtle posted:I've been seriously wondering about this, NYC is facing an imminent existential threat but there's been barely any work towards storm/sea rise protection. All of those billionaire pencil skyscrapers are worth nothing if the city stop working because the subways flooded. Maybe the authorities figure that NYC is doomed no matter what on a 100-year timescale, so investing money is pointless. But then why fund the LGA renovation, given that it's already regularly flooding. i walked by metropolitan hospital, the "poor people" hospital on the north side of the island serving East Harlem the other day and lo! there are flood initiatives already being deployed:  they're sandbags that don't even make it all the way around the building.

H.P. Hovercraft posted:it's a major port that economically and strategically important is it still gonna be a useful port when the sea has risen so much around the city that we start calling it Orleans Island? i'm not clear on how important land transportation accessibility is to being a port we've already been defying nature to protect New Orleans' economic value for quite a long time. the Mississippi River has been trying to change its course away from New Orleans for decades, and we've built a network of dams and floodgates to prevent it from doing so. if the river control structures fail, New Orleans loses most of its economic value and therefore the country will lose interest in protecting it

Lotta goons in this thread ragging on New Orleans as a city. Ironic because New Orleans is one of the best food cities in the USA. It ain’t all Bourbon Street and drinking. Also, New Orleans has already been abandoned. Most side streets weren’t redone after Katrina and the streets are the worst in the USA. Potholes that will total your car if you drive over it. Or if you’re driving on a flooded street, it will swamp your car as you sink down 1-2 feet.

Believing that New Orleans can be saved from eventually being reclaimed by the ocean is an example of the folly of human hubris.

Sheng-Ji Yang posted:https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/19/climate/seawalls-cities-cost-climate-change.html Lol those prices are just for 2040, before when SLR starts really taking off from West Antarctic and Greenland ice sheet contributions. NOLA doesn't survive 3 meters of SLR which is already baked in. Get through the stages of grief however you may just don't sit in denial for too long.

New Orleans is a very important cultural point of pride of America, and here we have is the old slave auction block here as they shipped slaves through here, a very important economic port by the way. Big important history here going on.

NOLA whips rear end. I visited a couple years ago and Frenchman street alone is worth the trip. Im a dude that listens to metal, some rap/hip hop, and other random poo poo, but I still had a loving ball listening to blues being played live, the bands in the street, everything.

According to the Fourth (2017) National Climate Assessment (NCA) of the United States it is very likely sea level will rise between 30 and 130 cm (1.0–4.3 feet) in 2100 compared to the year 2000 new orleans is surrounded by levees and sea walls that are a minimum of 20 feet higher than sea level

Sheng-Ji Yang posted:
- Equilibrium SLR isn't reached in 2100 - SLR is one of the places with the largest long tail risk due to uncertainties in ice sheet responses. Ice sheet responses are trending past RCP 8.5 projections in rate of change currently. NCA uses "very likely" for 90% confidence. I'd maybe want to engineer levees against a wider range of uncertainty than 9/10 especially when we have studies like DeConto & Pollard 2016 on marine ice cliff instability. - SLR compounds storm surge
