Hurricanes and rising seas are displacing caskets. What do you do when the climate crisis comes for the dead?
At least they won’t suffer.
The ones who went to hell might appreciate the extra water.
Why is this even a concern? They’re dead. Fuckin leave em. Let the aliens that defrost our planet in 2 million years figure out what to do with them
I’d say there’s likely a public health concern with water and dead bodies mixing, at the very least.
Really, the embalming chemicals.
eh, animals die in the water in nature…
Drinking that or getting that into a wound is how you get sick, and my point entirely.
Corpse tea is not good for your health
Don’t drink the sea water. It’s already a bad idea.
There is an expression in research “dilution is the solution to pollution”. The parts per billion exposure (but probably even lower) contamination that you might experience is not a public health crisis. You have drinking water in states contaminated with carcinogens. Ain’t nobody got time to worry about seawater interfacing with a dead body.
You’re right, we should just ignore it, it’s probably fine.
You might feel differently if it was your child’s grave.
Might not
The big story is the coastal erosion
Living up to your name? 🤣

what do you do? you run for the damn hills!!
I grew up not far from here and yeah, after storms this is not uncommon to see, sadly. It’s such a mess there with the oil & gas companies, chemical plants, and refineries. They offer good paying jobs for men with just a high school diploma. They’re highly sought after, but they’re destroying the state between dredging, spills, leaks, etc. The fishermen and other seafood industries are hurt by it, as well as the wetlands and environment, but the residents just can’t quit the addiction. And the state offers subsidies and rebates and tax breaks to the big companies, so Louisiana isn’t even compensated the way they should be, like in other states. It sucks and that’s why “Louisiana brain drain” is a real thing that just makes the problem worse. So many young people who get a higher education in other areas leave soon after because they know they have brighter futures elsewhere.
