I’m no geologist or any other kind of scientist (Maitri has that title in this space), but anyone with an interest in the future of Southeast Louisiana needs to take a gander at the interactive graphic that accompanies the new Times-Picayune series on the state’s eroding coastline. It’s incredible.

Take whatever side you want in the discussions of global warming, about the Corps of Engineers, geophysical politics or whatever. This particular graphic is the most dramatic depiction of what has happened along the coast since levee construction began in 1932.

    Let the evolution begin. Everyone start trying to practice breathing underwater so we can evolve and grow gills.
