One concrete structure in Louisiana is the only reason New Orleans still has a river.
The Mississippi has been pushing toward the Atchafalaya for decades — a shorter, steeper path to the sea. Left alone, it would have completed the switch by the 1980s. Engineers stopped it. Barely.

California's largest lake is disappearing. The lakebed it's leaving behind is laced with arsenic and agricultural chemicals. 650,000 people live downwind. And the restoration plans have been written for years without being implemented at the scale the crisis requires. New video https://youtu.be/EQgR7142H78?si=iSkq4...
Mount Rainier is the most glaciated peak in the lower 48 states. It doesn't need to erupt to bury Seattle. The threat is already there — inside the rock, in the hydrothermal fluids, in the valleys where 4 million people live. New video just dropped. 👇 https://youtu.be/T6H2cNzy2Co?si=eh53D...
