The article focuses on the impact of climate change on Louisiana in 2014. Topics include how the state's wetlands protect against hurricanes, the levees built by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in New Orleans, and the creation of the Mid-Barataria Sediment Diversion, which is a planned diversion of the Mississippi River. Information is provided on how river engineering could help recover land lost to sea level rise.
