me thinks you don't know how to read. I believe it was explained in the thread the reasons why. Make a note, read the thread before posting. Go and read post #19. Then if after reading that one, you have some data that dispoves that, then by all means let's see it and discuss. But dude champening something for the sake of attention on a message board is LoSiNg.....A fascinating article and video by the BBC on the impact of rising sea levels and irrigation on the US coastline...
Life on a Louisiana island slowly disappearing into the sea
The US state of Louisiana is slowly disappearing into the Gulf of Mexico as its fragile wetlands are eroded by rising sea levels.
Approximately 75 square kilometres are lost each year and the US Geological Survey has warned that the entire habitat - which represents 40% of all wetlands in the US - could be destroyed within 200 years.
The loss is partly down to natural evolutionary processes, but experts say human behaviour - including dredging for canals and the draining of the wetlands for development and agriculture - has made the region more vulnerable to storm surges.

That's ok though, the conservatives inform us it isn't happening.
and one unproven and that is climate!!!!!!!!! LoSiNgMudwhistle -
Is it possible that there is more than one reason why wetlands are being eroded?
If so, the line of reasoning that "it cannot be caused by X, because it is caused by Y" seems a little limited.
There are - obviously - at least a half dozen major factors causing the loss of this wetland, and they all look quite valid in the BBC video.
Wow, has to be rising oceans, right? I mean, its not like there was ever an ocean in the middle of the North American continent before....Must be global warming......Oh wait. There was no global warming 100 million years ago...A fascinating article and video by the BBC on the impact of rising sea levels and irrigation on the US coastline...

and yet you have no where to show where the ocean actually is rising. BTW, it isn't the cause of this issue in LA. Thanks for playing!Darkwind -
Simply because an event occurs twice does not mean it is occurs for the same reason. More than one factor can impact the climate.
btw. No one disputes that oceans are rising. We know they are rising.

The wetlands were eroding long before whatever recent rise in sea levels.Mudwhistle -

Oceans do not have to rise for saltwater intrusion to occur.and yet you have no where to show where the ocean actually is rising. BTW, it isn't the cause of this issue in LA. Thanks for playing!Darkwind -

good thing the sea isn't rising then, eh?Yes, and when you combine that with a rise in sea level, you have a real problem.
Meanwhile, the longer problems with wetland degradation are ignored, the more severe the problems become. More homes are lost, more sources of income are lost.
The next time you think jamming your fingers in your ears is a cost-free and effective way of dealing with environmental issues - think again.

No. Pick up a book.Especially when humans caused it which is what happened.Wowzers! Coastal erosion! That's unprecedented in human history
Did you say "Human caused"? Can you please tell us how this happened?
