Fringey Mini: New Orleans is sinking, man, and I don't want to swim

from Journey to the Fringe

In this Journey to the Fringe mini, we’re dealing with some heavy "emoceans"—literally. The Big Easy is officially facing a terminal diagnosis thanks to rising sea levels, and politicians are keeping quiet because nobody wants to be the one to tell a city to pack its bags. We dive into the murky logistics of relocating an entire population, the dread of billionaire-funded replacement cities, and the most pressing question of all: what happens to all those New Orleans ghosts? Spoiler: they better learn to scuba. Get your trips in now before NOLA becomes a strictly underwater attraction!https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/may/04/new-orleans-sea-levels-relocation-climate-crisis
