#Louisiana has lost about 2,000 square miles of land to #coastal #erosion since the 1930s—a land mass about the size of Delaware.
#PlaqueminesParish, the state’s southernmost parish, juts into the water where the #MississippiRiver meets the #GulfOfMexico. The parish, which is crisscrossed with #oil & #gas canals, has already lost nearly half of its size in the last century as #SeaLevels rise because of #ClimateChange.

Hype for the Future 156B: Rural Southern Louisiana
Overview Along the entire Gulf Coast of the State of Louisiana, swamps and swampy terrain largely prevent large-scale settlement or even settlement beyond extreme rural densities. As a result, many of the principal cities of Southern Louisiana are actually located away from the immediate parishes facing the Gulf of Mexico, namely the Parishes of Cameron, Vermilion, Iberia (including Marsh Island), Saint Mary, Terrebonne, Lafourche, Jefferson, Plaquemines, and Saint Bernard.https://novatopflex.wordpress.com/2026/04/07/hype-for-the-future-155i-rural-southern-louisiana/

I just reported a problem with "Gulf of America" to Apple. It wouldn't let me choose "name is wrong" as an option — the "submit" button wasn't active — so I just chose "something else" and told them the name is wrong.
PS: I don't like the framing here. We can attack Trump's words and deeds without resorting to stuff like "shits himself."
