> CNN misses one detail in a highly scientific story and they get accused of having an agenda

If it's as the earlier poster said that sinking is 8mm per year, versus 3.2mm and they point out the 3.2, don't you think this news organisation has missed the main detail?

The article didn’t actually discuss the specific quantity of millimeters of sea level rise, either.

The headline is literally "Rising seas will swallow New Orleans", not "New Orleans is sinking below the seas", this would be an issue regardless if sea levels were raised or not, it would still sink down into the sea.

And conversely, if New Orleans was not sinking it would still face the same issues as the sea level is still rising. It would just be a little slower.
