I've thought about this and there doesn't seem to be a reason why the level of the city can't be raised to above sea level. It would take a lot of fill material, but that has got to be available somewhere.

How fast is New Orleans sinking?

We can always look towards the fine, impressive masterwork of St. Petersburg in dealing with the filling-the-swamp problem.

Oh and part of the reason the area around New Orleans is sinking is because of all the oil and gas being pumped out from underground...

You could always close down all the oilfields around Louisiana and fill them in, that might help...

New Orleans was one of the poorest, most violent cities in the country, a pocket of deep and structural poverty, which is exactly why so many died.

New orleans needs to be built differently, to avoid it becoming yet again the failure it was before the hurricane came. There is no point in rebuilding the same City, 'cause the City that was there was a failed one.

Dude, those wells are 12,000 - 15,000 feet deep, beneath a number of layers of rock.

Tell me, people say that New Orleans itself is subsiding. Do you agree with this statement and, if so, why would you think that was?

Yes because we are all standing on a pillow of oil, and by pumping it out we are actually decreasing land height.. please stop making yourself ridiculous in every single post you make, it´s pretty embarassing

Hmmm, 'making claims but without support'? Isn't that what you're doing now - talk about hypocrisy!

Yeah because, surprise surprise, after the place was flooded and currently under severe water pressure and flood erosion, it´s still oil extraction´s fault of everything

As usual I just hear yapping from you - you make claims without any support. You have yet another time made a claim without evidence.

It's not me or anyone else that are making clims without support - the only person doing that is you.

You are so totally pwned in almost all threads you post in, so please, shut up and stop disturbing.

Actually I'lm just having fun watching all the little try-hards tripping over themselves with glee because they actually think I can't back up my claims - I've been reeling you poor dumb schmucks in since DanS laughed at my point...

Your hypocrisy is astounding and you're evidently so caught up spinning your lies that you fail to realise that you are guilty of the very thing you blame me of!

I addressed it in the other thread by pointing you to the post I started the thread with where I posted links to no less than FIVE separate supporting articles!

The thing that really has me laughing my ass off is that I never embark upon an argument that I cannot support! You really have picked the worst thing to call me on
