There are millions living in flood planes, on fault lines and exposed to other acts of nature. New construction seems to comply with new understandings of the potential damages that can be unleashed by mother nature but ultimately we are all at the mercy of nature and more often at the mercy of fellow man!
To rebuild NO while ignoring why it needs to be rebuilt would be short sighted. To simply walk away is likely also shortsighted, IMHO.
Perhaps NO could be rebuilt above sea level as opposed to what, leaving it as is? :thinking: It is unlikely that this valuable real estate will be abandoned?!?!
Perhaps a combination of land fill and pilings can bring the city proper above sea level. For land fill, there may be some on site materials that can be used as part of the base. Maybe some of the stuff that was looted along with the looters; half joking.

I would also like to suggest that prior to using the
fact of Global Warming to influence any decisions, it might help to identify what Global Warming is and what the projections for the future may have in store.

It may be that some decide to attribute the recent hurricanes and other disasters to the will of Allah and his hand in bringing the infidels down.
Sheesh, Homeland Security may end up being tasked with taking on nature herself!
In the mean time, there are things that we can do to aid our friends and fellow man in the aftermath and it seems like the CPF community has risen to the call! :thumbsup:
