Remember a few years back when i asked this
question and was thought 'Nuts' and called that 'Hippy Dippy Weather Guy'?
I have remained silent on Katrina and We Lost New Orleans.
But let me quote Germanys Environmental Minister,
Juergen Trittin, from the Frankfurter Rundschau newspaper which was written as
Katrina developed...." senior government leaders in Germany warned the USA to
expect more natural catastrophes if it did not get serious about global
warming....and blames Bush's environmental policies for increasing the risk of
killer storms and floods arround the world....The American President closes his
eyes to the economic and human damages that are inflicted on his country and the
world economy , like Katrina through neglected climate protection...it will take
a couple more hurricanes of the magnitude of Katrina before America changes its
appalling environmental policies..." Juergen, i could not have said it
better myself.
Why? Money and Ignorance to the
facts.
Would a beaver build a dam between a Great Lake,
the Mississippi River and the Gulf of Mexico surrounded by inferior levees in a
sunken fishbowl? Maybe. Would a beaver build a dam after it had been
flooded w/ toxic waste. No, it would move.
The Gulf is 2 degrees warmer this year and thus
spawned Katrina in the Carribian when usually they are created in Africa....I
could go on and on, but its like Americans are a bunch of blind sheep following
leaders who have personal gains and ignore what is best for those that elected
them.
I flew in a Huey Helicopter over Camille in 69
photographing the destruction for the Army Corps of Engineers, and it was bad,
but this is horrible. It is so sad.
