Tell me, why is it that because someone in the media has the wild idea that a severe natural disaster can be explained by man's misuse of the planet, that becomes doctrine? I just went to a seminar on Global Warming for a class, and as is inevitable, someone brings up Hurricane Katrina. Let me ask you: What is so rare about a category 2 hurricane? There was NOTHING odd about Katrina. NOTHING!!! The only thing that was odd was that it happened to pass over the right spot, and the storm surge (associated with Fluid Dynamics, not with Global Warming) broke through the levies. So, is it because I drove to the store when I first got my driver's license that the levies broke and New Orleans was desolated? I think not.
And how much confidence do you have in a guy who is saying we need to cut back on pollution, but in the same breathe says "It would take a lot for me to leave my car and use my bike more frequently?"
