The climate crisis is often touted as an emergency that needs action now to stave off negative impacts in the future. But for one native community in the U.S., the consequences of climate change are already here.

Storm clouds from Tropical Storm Nicholas are seen behind homes of the vanishing Native American community of Isle de Jean Charles, La., which were destroyed by Hurricane Ida, Sept. 14, 2021.

"This is only the beginning," Torbjorn Tornqvist, a professor of geology at Tulane University, told ABC News. "We're going to see many more communities that are going to disappear."The effects of climate change have routinely shut down life on the island for decades, residents told ABC News. Storms would cut off power.

"When you take all those things together, you're looking at very, very high rates of sea level rise relative to the land," Tornqvist said.Chris Brunet, a former resident of Isle de Jean Charles, told ABC News that he left because his "environment was being challenged."

Plymouth Rock is still the SAME! Explain that!

There is NO Climate Change! Just more of the government scams

Climate change hysteria is the biggest hoax I've seen in my lifetime. From the impending ice age in the 70s, to holes in the ozone layer in the 80s, to global warming, to climate change... Activists rebrand it for new generations and ppl keep gobbling it up.

What action? Who administers the action? What are the ramifications for not complying to this ClimateHoax? At what cost of tax dollars and civil liberties?

China, Russia, Iran are our mayor threat!
