Should We Abandon Louisiana? In Some Ways, We Already Have

Zach Kopplin writes about the the media not broadcasting about the flood. He says that the "tragedy wasn't enough of a selling point-its the media conspiracy that gets people to care". I agree with this, because with my experience, the media will not cover a story, unless it is seen as a threat to people. The media feeds off of scaring Americans and worrying about something that is not even a big deal. It doesn't matter what the story is, as long as they have viewers. Most of the coverage for the flood was from local news stations. The major companies will even pay for the videos from the local news and use on their show and just steal the story. News stations bring realization to other areas during a natural disaster, such as the flood.
     I believe that climate change has and is affecting the weather. Other big natural disasters will start happening in other places around the world. Critics use global warming as a reason to give up and abandon Louisiana.  I believe Louisiana will not be forgotten or abandon because the Government would hopefully not allow that. According to Kopplin we should blame climate change.
     I feel very sorry for all of the flood victims, and am thankful that such a tragedy did not happen to me. I feel that history was made from this flood. Many people have learned what struggle means. If we abandon Louisiana we will be abandoning our culture and history. Rebuilding Louisiana is the best option, in my opinion.
