It’s nice when what seems like common sense is borne out by closer inspection; indeed, mangrove destruction aggravating disasters of the sea got a bit of play in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Not that I expect it to make much impact on the chronically, criminally stupid. One can but hope the motley crew are on the beach to reap the consequences of their handiwork one day.
The quote of the final piece must go to “engineer” Andre Labonte, who is ripping out mangroves to improve the views of a coastal subdivision. I wonder where he will be if it gets flattened - suggesting the survivors contact the taxpayer for disaster relief, perhaps?
