It's very simple, hydrocarbon combustion and human overpopulation are
destroying the world.

Thomas, Thomas, you ignorant slut.

There have always been hurricanes in the Caribbean/Gulf of Mexico.
It's the price you pay for living in sunshine and 70 degree
temperatures for 11 months out of the year.

The reasons these storms seem so much worse today a

1) People have always died. Now, however, we have CNN on the scene
almost from the minute trucks can enter the area. They show us live
and in color the damage that would have 20 years ago occupied 3 lines
on page 6 of the paper.

2) So many more people choose to live today in the potential path of
the storm. It's a risk you take - if you don't like filling sandbags,
don't live on the banks of the Mississippi. Chances are, global
warming or no, EVENTUALLY you're going to hit a year of heavy rain and
flood. It's just a matter of time.

3) Nature hates poor people. They build mobile homes out of twigs and
aluminum, and expect them to stand up when the Big Bad Wolf comes
a-calling. It's never the high-rise concrete $200 K a piece condos
that fall when a hurricane pounds through - it's always the mobile
home parks and wooden beach homes. Build like you mean it, or kick the
blocks out from under your home and move to Alabama.
