What is happening to Isle de Jean Charles in Louisiana and why have residents had to relocate?

Isle de Jean Charles in Louisiana faces a critical environmental crisis caused by two simultaneous forces: land subsidence and sea level rise. These combined pressures have made the area increasingly uninhabitable, forcing residents to abandon their traditional homes and relocate elsewhere. The situation represents a clear example of climate change impacts, with the community becoming one of America's first climate refugees. While the speaker notes that Al Gore's analysis had some nuanced omissions, the fundamental challenge of sinking land combined with rising seas remains the primary driver behind this community's displacement.
