As the Seas Around Them Rise, Louisiana Fisherman Deny Climate Change

You are hearing what you want to hear and what you think I'm saying instead of what I'm actually saying.

I haven't at any point questioned whether climate change is real. Not once. I have always said climate change is real. I've always taken the position that at least part of climate change is man made. I do question just how much but that has absolutely nothing to do with the article or my point.

If you are wanting to look at fact based stuff in relation to the La wetlands, I posted plenty including a fact sheet from the USGS that has spent decades researching the causes of wetland erosion. They include sinking land, oil companies making canals, powerful hurricanes, taming and rerouting the Ms river, levee systems and rising sea levels.

as I remember, and i am willing to be corrected, your "acknowledgement is usually fairly hedged and you don't see much reason for drastic action to combat climate change"

when I taught at Tulane in the early 2000s, i worked closely with the Center for Bio-Environmental Research - we did a lot of public outreach/advocacy about not only coastal erosion but also about things like the types of lubricant that container ships use which causes all sorts of environmental damage when it leeches off the ships and settles in the river floor

i recognize fully that this needs to be a multi-pronged attack and that supporting any prong helps the others
