Please aim for Crawford.

There were warnings several years ago by global warming researchers that the below sea level elevation of New Orleans would become increasingly dangerous as sea levels rise and severe storm formation increases during global warming..

The Bush administration intentionally ignores any global warming predictions. Possibly their close ties to the petroleum corporations subject them to liability or loss of profits. George Herbert Walker Bush tells people to "Get used to it [global warming]". Preventative measures that could have saved lives were not taken due to lack of FEMA funding. GW Bush would rather spend the FEMA money on detainment camps for immigrants and subversives than taking preventative measures to known future flooding..

The flood walls are not capable of holding out the water during severe storms. New Orleans is subsiding deeper into the fine mud from the Mississippi delta. People in positions of political authority (local state, federal) were previously warned about this potential for disaster but chose to ignore the warnings..

A great deal of lost lives could have been prevented if the global warming researchers weren't ignored by the political followers of the Bush administration..

"Bush ignored global warming predictions"

LOL!!1 I was wondering how long it wouid take to blame the hurricane on Bush...
Hey I wonder if Bush is going to make it snow this winter!

see this film for yourself. like nature taking revenge.

Nobody's laughing right now except you, Alfred. There was advanced warning given to coastal regions, there could have been disaster preparations. Most of the financial support to implement these programs would need to come from the federal level. If the Bush administration ignored these warnings about global warming, that amounts to criminal negligence. No joke..

"EXPERTS TO WARN GLOBAL WARMING LIKELY TO CONTINUE SPURRING MORE OUTBREAKS OF INTENSE HURRICANE ACTIVITY

Problem Tied to Rising Sea Temperatures From Trapped Greenhouse Gases; Trend Portends More Storm Damage Costs for FL, AL, LA, TX, NC and SC.

WASHINGTON, D.C.//October 21, 2004///With four hurricanes and tropical storms hitting the United States in a recent five-week period, 2004 already is being called "The Year of the Hurricane." But this year's unusually intense period of destructive weather activity could be a harbinger of what is to come as the effects of global warming become even more pronounced in future years, according to leading experts who participated today in a Center for Health and the Global Environment at Harvard Medical School briefing.

The recent onslaught of four major tropical weather disturbances - Charley, Frances, Ivan and Jeanne - that did so much damage in the United States and nearby Haiti have spurred new questions about the relationship between hurricanes and global warming. While experts can't say that climate change will result in more hurricanes in the future, there is growing evidence and concern that the tropical storms that do happen will be more intense than in the past. Fueling concerns about the link between global warming and hurricanes is a new study on hurricane intensity published on September 28, 2004 in "The Journal of Climate." The study used extensive computer modeling to analyze 1,300 future hurricanes and projected major increase in the intensity and rainfall of hurricanes in coming decades.

"Global warming may well be causing bigger and more powerful hurricanes," said James J. McCarthy, a biological oceanographer at Harvard University and lead author of the climate change impacts portion of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's (IPCC) Third Assessment Report (2001). "Warmer seas fuel the large storms forming over the Atlantic and Pacific, and greater evaporation generates heavy downpours. With warmer, saltier tropical seas, the IPCC has projected larger storms, heavier rainfalls and higher peak winds."

Paul R. Epstein, M.D., associate director of the Center for Health and the Global Environment at Harvard Medical School, said: "Scientists cannot say at present whether more or fewer hurricanes will occur in the future. However, even if the number of storms remained constant, more powerful hurricanes with stronger winds, higher storm surges, and heavier downpours would have an even greater potential for damage, including increased risks to human life and public health, more floods and mudslides, increased coastal erosion and damage to coastal buildings and infrastructure. This is the pattern that we already may be seeing related to the overall increase in extremes.""

second opinion for global waming skeptics;

"(b) Increasing Storms and Floods
Dr. Thomas Karl, director of the National Climatic Data Center (NOAA), says that global warming has produced an increase in precipitation during the 20th century, mostly in the form of heavy rainstorms, little in moderate, beneficial rainstorms. Thomas Karl also reports that recent decades have produced a 20% increase in blizzards and heavy rainstorms in the U.S. "Hundred-year events are become more frequent now," notes Karl. In a report issued in November, 1999 the Britain's Meteorological Office warned that flooding in Asia and Southeast Asia would increase more than ninefold over the coming decades. Floods are already increasing worldwide. The year 1998 was the worst on record, with 96 floods in 55 countries.

Scientists are saying that global warming is causing early snowmelts. During the month of December 1996 and the first week of January 1997 unusually warm weather caused an early snowmelt that resulted in record flooding in parts of Washington, Oregon, Idaho, California, Nevada and Montana. These floods forced about 500,000 people to leave their homes. In California alone state officials estimated flood damage to homes and businesses at $1.6 billion. [31]

k) Coastal Flooding
Global warming is melting ice to the tune of 50 billion tons of water a year from the Greenland ice sheet. A NASA high-tech aerial survey shows that more than 11 cubic miles of ice is disappearing from the ice sheet annually. "We see a significant trend (in loss of ice mass)," said William B. Krabill, NASA scientist and lead author of a study on Greenland ice melting. "When we can go back after five years and see 10 meters of glacier gone, there is something happening." This is increasing the likelihood of coastal flooding around the world, if this meltdown trend continues. [53]

The rising sea level has led to salt water encroachment producing the "Ghost forests" of South Florida and Louisiana. Since about 1970, the invading salt water has killed hundreds of acres of southern baldcypress trees in Louisiana coastal parishes and sabal palm in Florida. [90] "

The responsibility of the damage and lost lives from the recent hurricane belongs to the petroleum corporations and their sponsored puppet government led by George Herbert Walker Bush.

There is no amount of money to bring back the dead, however the cost of repairs and clean -up belongs to the petroleum corporations for their role in bringing about global warming, not the taxpayers..

Of course, if the Bush and Clinton administrations (and for that matter all administrations back to Eisenhower) hadn't ignored the need for adequate public transport in the U.S., it would have been much easier to evacuate New Orleans. New Orleans has some very skeletal local public transport, as do a lot of major U.S. cities, but these facilities aren't sufficient for an evacuation as they lack connections to the rest of the country. I noticed in another post (not through official channels, I should add) that the government supposedly recommended Greyhound and Amtrak as alternatives for the poor and anyone else who wants to get through the impossible car traffic. This is in theory a good idea, but ignores the fact that Amtrak's services are hopelessly inadequate due to underfunding and freight railroad obstruction (this is a long story that I'm not getting into here, but the point is that a railroad that runs a handful of trains a day, at substandard speeds, hours behind schedule, is not sufficient for a mass evacuation like in other more civilised parts of the world). In addition, Greyhound are no better off than anyone else, as they're forced to use the roads, which are already clogged with cars. As we all know, though, the oil companies are infinitely more important to the U.S. government than people's lives, so this is what we get.
