How Climate Change Continues to Threaten Low-Lying U.S. Cities Like New Orleans
Doug McIntyre and David Callaway discuss the significant impact of geography on climate vulnerability, using New Orleans as a prime example. Despite efforts to rebuild, the city’s low-lying areas and vulnerability to hurricanes mean that complete protection is unfeasible. As climate change continues, similar coastal cities will face ongoing challenges, and many have not fully recovered from past disasters like Hurricane Katrina. The future of these cities will depend heavily on how they adapt to increasing climate risks.
