Scientists issue dire warning as iconic American city sinks into the sea: 'Human intervention has made it worse'

One of the country's most unique cities, known for its cuisine and colorful culture, is not only sinking, but it is also being engulfed by rising seas.

What's happening?
New Orleans rightfully boasts of an "invigorating spirit" that can be found in its rich history, art, music, and eclectic culture. The city's tourism industry provides around 75,000 jobs for its residents. Scientists say this special city is at risk, though, from a number of forces.

NASA and researchers at Tulane University say the Crescent City is sinking at the rate of one to two inches per year, per Big Easy Magazine.

 

Thankfully, New Orleans is in Louisiana, a state well known for its support of political leaders who wish to research and combat climate change.

 

And luckily the current administration’s funding of NASA and other federal agencies will be redirected to funding this as well, and not filling the wallets of the oligarchy.

 

Indeed, we need to turn to science and scientists for evaluating and consulting in deriving or coming up with solutions.
