Good god, a city was built in what may be the most flood prone area outside the ocean itself, & a massive storm manages to smash thru the artificial defenses. Fucking surprising.

I also think I caught some of that Discovery thing in a rerun this weekend. You'd hate it, G.

Must be the global warming show. I've avoided it. If I want to see speculation and theories made on unreproducable experiments with a complete lack of removable of all possible variables, I'll watch...

well, nothing.

Yeah, funny how the press may have been concerned with the flooding of a city, or something.


So where were all the national headlines blasting the local government for taking the money the feds gave them to strengthen their levys on, and instead spending it on casino boats?

Why didn't we hear daily about how they should be in jail and how they hate black people?

No instead, everything is Bush'd fault or FEMA's fault and Nagin got re-elected.

Nagin should be in jail.

Truth be told, it is the most even-handed special on the subject I've seen on a big name station.

It's great that they try. Keep working on it. The pursuit of knowledge is never a wasted life. But stop telling us we're all dead in 10 years, Al Gore you pathetic idiot.

Pat Robertson believes in global warming, for stupid, stupid reasons.

That might just kill the whole environmentalist movement.

Pat Robertson believing in anything could damn near kill the affected movement.

If he was doing God's work, he'd sell the the fancy suits he wears for his goddamn TV show & give it to charity.

If he was doing God's work, he'd shut the fuck up.

But if he was really doing God's work, he'd just kill himself to make the rest of the world a better place.

UN downgrades man's impact on the climate
Mankind has had less effect on global warming than previously supposed, a United Nations report on climate change will claim next year.

Shoot, I may have to start believing in Global Warming. If the UN says it's false, it almost certainly MUST be true.

It's been a very bad year for global warming theorists that are sucking at the tit of federal grants.

My default reaction to anything the U.N. does is apathy since that's mainly how they feel about the rest of the planet.

Front page of Yahoo today is Leonardo DiCaprio talking about global warming. One of the links takes you to the Yahoo latest news for global warming page.

Guess what story isn't there? That's right, the one about the UN downgrading man's impact.

Wait, wait, wait a minute! Didn't 'they' say these extreme environmental events (see hurricanes) are the result of global warning?

I guess I need to look at the title of this thread.
Wadda mean? Other people can read this?!

You could read the title of the article as well.
Researchers debate warming, hurricanes

Hell, maybe even the first paragraph.
The debate over whether global warming affects hurricanes may be running into some unexpected turbulence. Many researchers believe warming is causing the storms to get stronger, while others aren't so sure. Now, a new study raises the possibility that global warming might even make it harder for hurricanes to form.
