Watching History channel today and they said lake Pontchartrain was formed around 5,000 years ago when the melting polar Ice caps raised the gulf of Mexico and then receded. I'm glad they never invented ways to use fossil fuels in the last 5,000 years, if they had the whole east coast would be under water. What does this do for all you Global warming alarmists?
And while I'm at it here is one for all you Katrina sympathisers. The head of the Lake Pontchartrain committee, said his beloved city New Orleans was better known as the city most likely for a hurricane and the least prepared for it. So I hit info and low and behold the show was from 2003. hmmm I sort of lost sympathy for him and his loss.
