Another Scary Headline...

You might have missed it since it was buried inside today's Times-Picayune, but there it was, another scary headline that none of us will be able to verify. Yep, more computer model forecasts for 2100, this time regarding sea level rises. No it didn't focus on us, but this time centered more on New York City & New England. Gosh, if only the models would give us a 5-10 year forecast so we could verify their skill. But noooo...it's always 50, 70, 100 years from now. I guess if they didn't scare us, they wouldn't be able to get more government funding?

Our much needed weekend rainfall has pulled to our east and the upper air steering has shifted to a much drier pattern for the next 7-10 days. Since we have now passed March 15th, it's time to plant your gardens as it's highly unlikely we'll see anymore freezes south of Lake P. In fact, it's time to start guessing when the 1st 90 degree day will occur? For Audubon Park the earliest 90 degree day happened on March 23, 1929. For Louis Armstrong International, it's 91 on April 17, 2006...but remember the Kenner Airport records only go back to 1946 while Audubon's go back to 1895.

The Government needs to quit wasting their money into that nonsense.When will they learn...

What are these people going to do when the Earth enters a cooling cycle?

Gov't needs to quit wasting money on building levee's to protect people that insist living below or at sea-level.

Caveman...remember this is not your blog. If you want to spout your hatred of New Orleans, get off my site. I will have my son set up a kill button everytime you try to spread your limited knowledge. Let's see...using your logic...if/when the earthquake comes again to San Francisco...let's tell those millions to leave home and go live somewhere else. Go create your own blog and talk to yourself. Leave us who love Louisiana alone.

Caveman It just so happens we like it here whether or not its below sea-level. This city has alot of things that nobody else in the country has. Can you imagine ging your whole life without a beignet? No more Mardi Gras? No more fresh Crawfish,shrimp, or fish? I would be misserable without NOLA.
