This video provides a sharp, intersectional analysis of how environmental collapse and systemic racism converge to seal the fate of New Orleans' most vulnerable. It effectively exposes the brutal reality that climate change is not just a natural phenomenon, but a tool of displacement fueled by corporate extraction.

New Orleans Is At The Point Of NO RETURN…Added:
New Orleans is at the point of no return and will cease to exist. Get your popcorn.
Welcome back YouTube. And for those who do not know me, hello. My name is Noah.
On this channel, we talk about death, true crimes, haunted people, places, and things, spiritual reparations, and how you can [ __ ] around and find out. Now, on today's episode, we will be talking about something that scares me because it's not just spiritual, it is scientific, and that is that New Orleans, Louisiana is sinking.
There's no better. It's sinking. They're losing land expeditiously. They're below sea level. And this water is going to make sure that it finishes off what Hurricane Katrina did not. And we're going to watch some viral videos explaining what exactly is going on with New Orleans. And then I'm going to be speaking some Japanese.
>> The city of New Orleans has reached the point of no return. And I'm not being doomsday. This is an article that the Guardian reported on that even if we were to combat climate change today, the city of New Orleans days are numbered.
You are unable. So for those who don't know, the city of New Orleans actually sits below sea level. So if you fly in, you're seeing the sea and the city of New Orleans sits down at the bottom.
There are a number of things that they have used like the levy system, which is what broke during Hurricane Katrina that caused the devastation of that hurricane. Those things cost billions of dollars in order to maintain an upkeep to keep the city safe. At this point, researchers have said that this is no longer a sustainable option and the only option that the city has is to relocate all 370,000 residents from the city. My first thought when I heard that is, well, where are they going to go? And how are they how is the city of New of Louisiana, right? city of New Orleans, state of Louisiana going to protect which the black people which they have historically disenfranchised to ensure that they are pretty much [ __ ] Um, we have I I mean like this is the biggest concern. Like these are the types of things that people like myself have been screaming off of the mountain tops that we are going to face in the future if we do not do something about climate change. And now we are at the point where it is too late. The only option is for people, humans, to move. I am so heartbreaken by this. Like just from a personal level of all the times, all the memories that I've had growing up going to to New Orleans and and going to Louisiana, I really cannot even fathom a world without this city. But we're here.
We're here now. And now we need to ensure that we have a government that is thinking about these things and going to help make solutions for the to make the world better to make the climate change not as bad. We're not even in a world where it's like let's stop climate change. We need to mitigate the disasters that climate change can cause.
That is where we are at. That is the hard hard real truth and we have got to start taking this seriously.
Start walking to the hole in the daytime. So what y'all see?
What y'all see?
This [ __ ] still going platinum.
That is the [ __ ] ocean.
[ __ ] still going. It's in the daytime.
Ain't nothing change.
Let me take the headphones. Now y'all remember when I was trying to tell y'all when I fought that poo. Everybody thought it was [ __ ] funny. Huh?
Yeah. Y'all come here. Let me tell y'all what's really going on.
[ __ ] they say the P of no return.
>> So y'all know what that mean. Ain't no [ __ ] returning back to New Orleans.
Once this [ __ ] go under, it is under. I told y'all a couple of months ago that was the [ __ ] ocean where I found that hole at. They got another big ass crack on the ground. When they fixed that hole, the ground crack caved in even more on the other side. What is you saying? I've been telling y'all this.
This [ __ ] is over with in part of Nova returns. New Orleans relocation must start now due to sea levels.
Study finds, [ __ ] Let's find out.
Let's find out. [ __ ] y'all going.
Guess what? We going to be sh swimming with the fishes. Girl, guess what? I had got me a air mattress already, [ __ ] I already got me a life jacket. I got me a tug, boo. I'm ready to swim out.
Ain't nothing nice. New Orleans is going under for every which reason. They need to take all the communities and relocate them because they're about to turn this [ __ ] into something that we're not going to be able to afford to stay on.
[ __ ] they going to have houses on the water, [ __ ] [ __ ] y'all going to be going a bishree walking on the water, [ __ ] Y'all about to see how it about to be a whole another planet down here.
I'm just saying I told y'all a couple of months ago when that hole broke loose, [ __ ] that New Orleans was going under.
That was the ocean. Nobody don't want to believe me. That is the ocean, [ __ ] It's the ocean. It was not the rubber.
It's the ocean, [ __ ] We going to be underwater, girl. Get your air mattress ready. Get your [ __ ] life jackets ready. Get your boats ready, [ __ ] Get your rain boots ready. Get everything you need ready cuz [ __ ] is about to go platinum. I said what I see, guys.
This I have something to say about this.
Y'all see how close at sea level New Orleans is. Like that was a cruise ship.
That's first of all climate change, right? This is what people have been warning about for how long now? But anyway, I was thinking about something else. I was thinking about something supernatural when I saw that cuz I'm like, wait a minute.
Do you guys know how New Orleans is like it's surrounded by so much mystery and supernatural lore? like you have the the voodoo and hoodoo that people say are going on in there. All these strange occurrences and it got me thinking like why is it that so many crazy things happen in places that are surrounded by ocean? You guys already know how I feel like there are demonic marine spirits, right? I know it sounds crazy, but I'm connecting the dot. I'm like, you know how people say a lot of times demons reside in the water? have to reason why there's so much supernatural stuff. For example, right, let me tell you exactly what I'm talking about because I can do a series on this, but I don't want to spend too long on it. We have the Sultan Palace massacre where a Middle Eastern man rented out a mansion with a whole bunch of people like he rented it out and had a whole bunch of lavish parties.
Next day, people go and check on that mansion and everyone is found brutally unalived. To this day, no one knows what actually happened from my understanding.
have the casket girls, you have the Lai mansion, and you guys, if you don't know about Deline Lai, she was a slave owner and she used to do horrible, despicable, diabolical things to enslaved individuals under I was going to say under her care, under her uh tyranny, things that I'd have, like I said, it would have to be a whole other video.
But so many things and surrounding all of these instances, people are reporting seeing shadowy figures and just feeling a dark presence around what has been happening. And I'm like, what if it's like a principality over it? Like you guys know that there's principalities over many things, many areas.
What if that's the reason why New Orleans is so spiritually heavy?
Am I tripping? Like you guys know I always like to just think outside the box, but is that not weird? As always, make sure you like and follow. Comment down below if you guys want a series diving into all of the spiritually terrifying things that have happened in New Orleans history. So basically, I see a lot of people going down the rabbit hole and they speaking about New Orleans being below sea level. Yes, we know the city of New Orleans have always been below sea level. If you somebody that stay around a levey, if you was to go walk on your levey and you see a ship or boat passing, you will see that you the same height as the um the ships that's passing. Maybe a lot of people don't see it that way because they don't stay around the levy and they probably never experience to know like, yes, we are really below sea level. I say this to say, hurricane season is approaching, right? And we know that mostly in New Orleans, the streets, the roads, the highways, we deal with the issue of the streets and everything cracking, right?
I guess due to the streets cracking is because we below sea level. And I'm assuming that the heat have something to do with it as well. A lot of people you might see post videos of a sinkhole and water running through a sinkhole in New Orleans too. But if New Orleans is going to be below sea level in the next few years, they say a decade we'll be underwater. What about Miami and what about New York?
So what's going to happen to the people of New Orleans if we have to relocate?
So that mean we branching off to different areas. Like I feel like the the culture like what we do like what we do y'all. What we going to do?
What are we going to do? And I always just feel like they always just try to always tried to get rid of New Orleans.
That's what I think.
Like seriously, I always think that they always try to get rid of New Orleans. I don't think we know how serious our culture is. But y'all let me know in the comments. Y'all let me know in the comments. And all this is basically for entertainment purpose. I'm only on here to bring awareness to my friends for educational purposes only. Y'all like, share, comment, and repost. And yes, NOLA New Orleans is trending. But like I said, if New Orleans is going to be underwater in the next decade, what about New York? What about Miami? I'mma call y'all back. Pick up the phone.
I don't know if anyone's said this before, but isn't it kind of interesting that New Orleans is the most like supernatural city. A lot of paranormal stuff going on there. Pretty haunted um and very spiritual. And then it is the city that is literally built into the ocean. So much so that it's below sea level to the point where people are saying that it's going to be gone within 10 years. Mind you, the ocean is basically the most spiritual haunted place in the whole entire world. So the one city in America that is built literally in the ocean is also the most haunted city. I don't know. Anyone else make that connection or is it just me?
>> So this is how you know New Orleans is below sea level because I'm walking up the street and a ship is passing like it's a car passing. Mind you, I'm below the ship.
I'm looking up at the ship because the water is higher than the ground.
>> Y look at this water.
New Orleans is going to be done for in the next 10 to 20 years.
This is crazy. I don't even want to go too close. Most Americans think Florida is the only state sinking into the ocean. But there's another one that's disappearing even faster, and almost nobody talks about it. It's Louisiana.
You see, Louisiana is losing land at a terrifying speed. Every single hour, the state loses land equal to a football field. In just the last 100 years, over 1 million acres have vanished into the Gulf of Mexico. And this isn't just nature doing its thing. Levies built to control the Mississippi River stopped fresh mud and sand from rebuilding the coastline. On top of that, rising sea levels, powerful storms, and oil drilling have weakened the land, so the land literally collapses. Entire towns have already disappeared. Roads now lead straight into open water. Cemeteries are sinking. Some communities have been forced to abandon homes that existed for generations. What's even scarier is the prediction. Scientists warn that by 2100, huge parts of southern Louisiana could be underwater permanently, including areas near New Orleans.
Bet y'all didn't know part of Louisiana is below sea level. And people actually live there. Y'all know where that's at?
Little town called New Orleans like that. One of the greatest food cities in the world is basically a little bowl with some levies around that. pump the water out. You got your dry ground, build the city along le and if it wasn't for the little levies that protect the city, it would actually be underwater. It wouldn't be a city.
Y'all knew that. So, next time you're in New Orleans, think of it as a little crater that water was pumped out. Make sure you got you some floaties with you next time you're on a trip. New Orleans sits in a bowl 13 ft below sea level, protected by 350 m of levies that failed catastrophically during Katrina. The Army Corps spent 14 billion rebuilding them with 100 ft steel walls driven deep into bedrock. But here's the kicker. The city keeps sinking 2 in every year while sea levels rise. Those billion-dollar walls, they're racing against time itself. New Orleans isn't just fighting hurricanes anymore. It's fighting physics.
>> Scientists say New Orleans has passed the point of no return. Urges relocating residents. This is a headline from Democracy Now. Underneath it, someone wrote, "I want to believe articles like this, but it just makes me think about billionaire investors buying up the property that all the locals leave behind, and I don't like it." So, the grim reality that needs to be faced quickly is the fact that southern Louisiana is already losing a football field of land every 100 minutes.
This shoreline is going to migrate another at least 100 kilometers in land over the next decade. Researchers call this coastline the most physically vulnerable coastline in the world. What the commenter suggests is not paranoid on any level, though. This is a peer-reviewed study that was published in Environmental Research. After Katrina, property speculators absolutely moved in. Within a year of the storm, the New Orleans housing market was hotter than ever before. Speculators would buy flooded properties, flip them, and cash out. Rents then rose 33% while income in Louisiana stagnated. Because of this, the African-American population of New Orleans fell. Hundreds of thousands of black residents who left after Katrina never came back. Real Network News called this captured by investors. Before Katrina, New Orleans had a black population of approximately 325,000, onethird of the city. By 2024, the black population had fallen to roughly 204,000, a loss of more than 120,000 people. In the same period, the white population declined by 10,000. Black residents were substantially less likely than white residents to return. A year after the storm, only 40% of black residents had returned to the metropolitan area, compared to 67% of white residents. Those who returned faced rents 40% higher than they were before the storm. In New Orleans and across the United States, homes in black neighborhoods have been systematically undervalued for generations. When the federal government stepped in after Katrina with its road home program, the 11 billion federal housing recovery scheme, the scheme was structured so that the grants were based on your pre-storm property value. Even though the cost of repairing flood damage was identical, black homeowners received smaller grants. 20 years on, the Lower 9th ward has onethird of the population it had in 2005. Block after block of empty boarded homes. The first slave ships arrived in Louisiana one year after New Orleans was founded in 1719.
By 1741, enslaved Africans outnumbered white settlers 4 to1. The infrastructure of this city was designed around serving extraction, not protecting nature. The Mississippi River was straight jacketed with levies, cutting off the sediment flow that had maintained the delta for millennia. Without this sediment flow, the land compacts and sinks and the sea level rises. This engineering decision to contain the river was made to protect agriculture and shipping routes. And doing this put New Orleans on a slow countdown. Then the oil and gas industry made it substantially worse. They carved canals through the wetlands for their pipes and access routes. These canals bring salt water in from the Gulf and this is destroying what's left of the wetlands. This canal, the Mississippi River Gulf outlet, is what funneled Katrina's storm surge directly into the Lower Ninth Ward. This was built for gas and oil commercial shipping. Between the river management and the fossil fuel industry, Louisiana has lost over 5,000 square kilometers of coastal land just since 1930. And the people who paid for this with their homes, their health, and their lives are overwhelmingly black Americans on low income. There is an 85 mile stretch between New Orleans and Baton Rouge along the Mississippi. It was once called Plantation County. It is now called Cancer Alley. There are over 150 prochemical plants, oil refineries, and chemical facilities in this block.
And the communities that surround it are all African-Amean. In St. James's Parish, 87% of the residents are black.
UN human rights experts have declared this environmental racism. Residents here face elevated cancer rates, respiratory diseases, and reproductive health damage. These plants were deliberately put beside black communities from the 1940s onwards.
Exxon Mobile is the single largest operation in Cancer Alley. This Baton Rouge refinery has been running consistently since 1909, making it one of the largest refining and prochemical complexes in the world. It is top of the list for small particulate matter emissions. About 20 miles outside New Orleans, Shell have their Shell Norcco manufacturing complex. This has operated for nearly a century. In 2018, the EPA found Shell had violated clean air laws for over a decade. They settled. Coke Industries are another one of the primary prochemical operators in this corridor. Those are the top three biggest operations in Louisiana. In the same vicinity, you also have Dena, the Japanese chemical company. They produce chloroprine, which is a carcinogen.
Their plant at John the Baptist Parish has produced cancer rates 50 times the national average in the surrounding community. Then you have Mosaic who run two massive fertilizer plants in St. James Parish, the Uncle Sam complex and the Fina plant. Then in the Donaldsonville complex in the Ascension Parish, you have CF Industries and they are the largest nitrogen fertilizer plant in North America. Then there's this. This is a Taiwanese plastics company called Formosa Plastics. They applied for federal grants to build a 9.4 billion prochemical complex in St. James Parish in the fifth district in a neighborhood that is 87% black. This is live as of May 2026. Advocates helped push back against the facility. Also in St. James is the Yu Hong Chemical Plant.
This is a Chineseowned methanol plant.
Methanol is a colorless volatile highly toxic alcohol historically known as wood alcohol. It is used in the production of formaldahhide and plastic. It is made from gas. It is mostly used for windcreen wipers and antifreeze and as fuel in racing cars. Essential industry. And in the same corridor, there's also Araggon Energy, who have just expanded by adding a $200 million oil terminal. In the same stretch, between 2022 and 2025, these facilities have released over 620 million metric tons of CO2. That is the equivalent of 140 coal plants running all year. And there is planning approved for at least another 19 plants.
This was all historically plantation land. It still is. It's the plantation of plantations of plants. Their goal is to kill all plants. So if New Orleans is on borrowed time, why are there 19 more plants being added? That industry sits along this levy protected industrial corridor that is slightly elevated directly on the riverbank. as in all of this manipulating of the environment was for these plantations. The infrastructure that is destroying everything else was built and is maintained for them. The infrastructure, the pipelines, the terminals, the rail connections, the port access, the levies is the reason that they are there. When the region does flood, these plants get protected by the federal government who sees them as high value economic infrastructure. But the black communities wedged between the plants and the river, they get flooded. As of February 2026, CF Industries, Air Products, Clean Hydrogen Works, and St. Charles Clean Fuels are all planning new blue ammonia plants in the Cancer Alley corridor. Blue ammonia plants are a continuation of fossil fuel operations dressed up as clean energy. In the last 5 years, more than 20 blue ammonia plants have been proposed nationally throughout the United States. The four largest of those are in Louisiana. In January 2026, Trump's EPA reversed regulations that would have finally constrained these plants emissions. The industry is not retreating, it is doubling down. This industry is betting that the residents will leave in chaos.
The land value will collapse. Insurance will vanish. The government will offer inadequate buyouts and the plants will keep running on the protected levy adjacent ground. These plants want these communities gone. Displacement is a feature, not a bug. But that doesn't contradict the reality of the physics.
Sea levels are rising. Both of these things are true. The plants are on levy protected ground, but eventually they will succumb. Also, at which point those losses will be socialized.
Louisiana is not physically doomed the way an asteroid strike would doom it.
There is a political choice being made to let it drown. Miami Beach is getting water pumps. Maraago got a new seaw wall. A choice was made not to protect New Orleans.
>> A child born today will live to see New Orleans become effectively uninhabitable. According to a new study released a couple of weeks ago, this is a combination of the fact that New Orleans itself is already below sea level and the coastline is eroding so quickly and so little is being done to stop it that they say it's beyond a point of no return. So, children born today will live to see it slowly become uninhabitable due to frequent flooding.
So frequent that no one will really be able to practically live there. And a few decades after that, the city itself will eventually become completely inundated by the Gulf of Mexico. It goes to show that climate change is real.
It's happening all around us right now.
And many countries in the world are struggling to do something about it.
While the United States, unfortunately, is actually actively going backwards.
>> Man, the truck sinking in our >> Look at the ground in our face. Look at that man truck.
I see I see that thing been going in man. The truck sing in our face the ground in our face. Look at that man sir. I see I see that going hit man. The truck singing in our face. Look at the ground in our face. Look at that truck.
What?
I seen that I seen that on here, >> man.
>> And New Orleans really underwater, my [ __ ] Look at this [ __ ] >> Look at my front yard, bro.
>> We got two more years until this [ __ ] completely underwater where your feet can't even walk, bro.
>> Bro, look how deep that [ __ ] is.
>> This [ __ ] deep as [ __ ] New Orleans really under water, bro.
>> Hold on.
Bro, >> what the >> New Orleans is really underwater, bro.
We need help.
>> [ __ ] that Levy, bro. [ __ ] that Levy.
>> Yo, at this point, Louisiana, baby, we Louisiana not going to be a state no more. Look at this. At this point, y'all, we just going to be underwater.
Louisiana going to be called the ocean.
Look at this, y'all.
Look at this. My whole foot, y'all. Look at that.
Look at that. So, y'all telling me I don't think Louisiana going to be underwater probably the next 3 years.
Look at this, y'all.
You think somebody left a hose pipe on?
Like, do this make sense?
At this point, we just underwater. We're already by the water. We underwater and Florida gonna be next.
Look at this.
>> Do you guys remember I made a video about how sometimes things people die and it really doesn't. It just jumps into another timeline.
And I believe it's called infinite immortality.
I truly believe that New Orleans is one of those places that is between two realms. I feel like with Hurricane Katrina, Louisiana, that part of Louisiana ceased to exist, right? Follow me. If you know what infant immortality is, then this won't sound crazy. I feel like that place sank with Hurricane Katrina. But some people, the people that inhabited that land, literally jumped into another timeline where the city was destroyed in certain parts when in another timeline it ceased to exist. And I feel like water holds memory and that place is a very very spiritual place and now it is lapsing.
The two timelines are lapsing in just my opinion. Right? This is happening to a lot of cities. Like New York is sinking a little bit, but not at this rate. Like 2100 is not that far away, y'all. Like if I had a baby today, my baby would experience this. They would see this, right? My kids kids will see this. And because it is so spiritual, I feel like the spirits are trying to save New Orleans. They always have. They always have. But ever since Katrina, that place has not been the same. It has not been the same. And I I've my heart aches for the people of New Orleans. They cannot catch a [ __ ] break to save their life. Um but I I do really do believe that this is what is going on.
the two worlds were parallel. But now I feel like they're slowly because for a whole place not to exist anymore because the water that was destroyed it is now engulfing it is crazy and it's spiritual. Okay, it being below sea level. Home girl was absolutely right. This is why we experience these things, these paranormal spiritual things in New Orleans. That's why it is so magical.
They are literally on top of the Mississippi River, right at right at eye level with it, which is a portal in itself. Should I do a video on the Mississippi River? I think I will.
Comment down below if you want to hear that. That lore, that place is fighting for its life. The spirits of New Orleans want New Orleans to survive. It has been kicking and screaming for decades. All right? And I hope that from some divine intervention that this [ __ ] stops because there ain't nowhere like New Orleans, baby. There's nowhere like New Orleans. The spirits there are really, really trying to pull it together. I sense that whenever I was looking at some of these videos. And one thing I will say is the government better not play with my people this time.
The government best not play with my people this time where only part of the places, you know, the ones below the poverty line flood and is destroyed while the French Quarters survives cuz that's what happened with Hurricane Katrina. It's all [ __ ] We need to start evacuating people and the government needs to pay for it.
[ __ ] What do we pay taxes for?
What what do we pay tax for that fake ass ballroom that they building in the White House? That's really something else.
Don't get me started. If this is what it is, because scientists says this is it, like they're telling us now, this is it, then we need to start some type of government fund that will help the people of New Orleans who do want to relocate relocate. Let's not wait till the last minute.
Let's not do that because I don't want to see Hurricane Katrina happen again because it won't be a hurricane. It will be nothing. You will be underwater.
And I refuse, y'all. So, if you live in New Orleans, please go down this rabbit hole. It's not even a rabbit hole. Do your research because I had not heard this on the news. Tik Tok taught me this.
Now, if a whole place is about to disappear and it already has experienced devastation in the past, why the [ __ ] isn't this national news?
You know, I really think that they don't want anybody black in New Orleans. I really think this is like race cleansing, ethnicity cleansing. People of color were hit the hardest. The population primarily is made up of people of color.
This needs to be national news.
Continue to pray, y'all. Continue to pray that somehow someway because New Orleans just went through this really bad storm. It was raining for like seven days straight or something. They don't need no rain. They need a drought. They need a drought. They need a drought. I pray for the people of New Orleans. I pray for New Orleans. It's such a magical city. If you've never been there, please, I highly recommend it.
I'm trying to do a little weekend getaway for you guys that want to do something in New Orleans later on this year.
The details are coming. Save y stack y'all coins, okay? Because it's going to be magical. We need New Orleans. New New Orleans is such a big part of black culture, Creole culture, even Haitian culture. We need New Orleans to survive.
Girl, stand up. That is all for today, YouTube. And if you would like me to cover a topic, you can tag me over on Instagram, Tik Tok, Facebook, or you can email me or leave it down below. And until next time, y'all do good, be good, stay safe. Make sure you get your reading from Psychic Source. Choose one of these three because I've read with them and they're amazing. I'm like, "God damn.
