Enjoy New Orleans while you can, because scientists say the city’s days are numbered. A new study has shown that the city is now beyond “the point of no return”: there is now no way of saving it, it will soon be completely underwater, and a mass civilian relocation needs to begin now before it’s too late.
The idea of abandoning one of America’s most iconic cities sounds absurd – surely there must be something the government could do to save it? But, as per the study, it’s doomed by ongoing rises in sea-level and the erosion of southern Louisiana wetlands.
