Man usually finds a way to mess up what nature has taken ages to construct.. that is one hellacious pile of sediment per year, btw
just so the "experts" account for minimizing the likelihood of unintended consequences
Unintended consequences! When you screw with the Mississippi that is exactly what you're going to get. I will bet that left to its own it wouldn't be long before New Orleans and the Mississippi river were not mentioned in the same sentence.
So, without those levees erected so long ago, Those oil platforms in the gulf would have been unnessary because the sediment would have filled in the gulf and Louisiana would be the biggest state in the union.
