So this is what a Category Four storm landing in New Orleans looks like.

Ida (click here) The name needs to be retired.

It is so much easier for FOX to talk about the aggrieved in Afghanistan and how the future for western democracy was a stupid idea, then to talk about the climate crisis and how the people of New Orleans need to realize they don't have a home anymore.

FOX can't blame President Biden for Ida. The only entity really responsible for this is the petroleum industry and there are their tanker cars tossed around like tinker toys by the storm they created.

The tare weight (empty) of ONE of those tank cars is 65,000 pounds (29,500 kg). Now as a rule tanker cars like that are not usually found on highways. Where are the railroad tracks?

Why did I say the storm surge wasn't survivable, because, it wasn't. That is a defining picture of the power of that storm. It lifted entire tanker cars off their tracks and carried them inland to a highway. Katrina never did that. Katrina was in 2005. We are 16 years further in the climate crisis and now Category Four Hurricanes are making landfall and absolutely destroying the infrastructure along the Gulf Coast. 

This is not a clean-up. This is a complete reassessment of the viability of the land along the Gulf Coast to be habitable anytime in the near future considering the ice in Greenland is melting like it was in an oven.

The USA needs to bring the people of the Gulf Coast inland and to higher elevations, so the coast can be secured through scientific study and restoration.

End of discussion.
