Summary

A new Tulane-led study warns rising seas and coastal erosion could eventually swallow New Orleans and push the Gulf all the way to the Northshore , but the state’s Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority is firing back, calling the projections “ridiculous” and unnecessarily alarmist. Gordon Dove, CPRA Chairman, joins Newell to break down the clash between researchers and state officials over levees, wetlands, climate projections and whether coastal retreat is really inevitable for southeast Louisiana.
