I think there will be much more money spent for rebuilding oil rigs than for that all the New Orleans miserables, all which couldn't have an own house  a car, an insurance will be left behind when emotion risen by the catastrophe will will be forgotten.

Guess which companies will get the money ?
little help :"H.......ton" and friends

Except for sharing E.U. gazoline stocks, european help should be largely symbolic in regard of US means if massively mobilized.

Roads from New Orleans Airport to New Orleans were famous the 
world over as one of the most dangerous spot for isolated tourist cars much before the hurricane. The pity is that gangs weren't disbanded long before by police.
I mean that sending there some troops to deter gangs and looting is quite a simple army operation, rescuing being much heavier a task

By collecting world over meteo stations data, infrared earthsurvey satellite data, plus studies in situ.

I know that, but some centuries are not, astronomically speaking, what we can call long term in regard of billionth of years, and actually, accelatered rise of human activity heath sources and greenhouse gaz is something we should be abble to do something about.

Maybe not THE direct cause, but A powerful direct cause. Scientists can collect datas and calculate how much thermic energy and amounts of greenhouse effects gaz are dissipated by human activities, and how much temperature elevation should rise from all that.

"there's nothing we can do about it."  Bright stragegy !
Personally, as a free-lance, I wouldn't give any trust to a commander wich doesn't prepare troops to any potential threat. I shall not kneel with him praying for "self-regulations" to occur.

Don't forget palms, tubas and equipment for water and mudproof transportation systems
Enact martial law 
Every people with no electricity, TV, radio, will be ease to know that when impossible so spread news...

Executing people... You're so fast "quitting rescue effort" and calling for sentences of death, wonder where's your sense of civilization.
How many starving people looting for some food and water to shoot at when main emergency is food and water and medic supply ?

Right, everybody knows that Apollo crews brought back on Earth samples of Camembert instead of moonstones, and that's why Moon conquest was abandonned, as theses samples were much more expensive than french imported cheeses in spite of heavy luxury taxes.
Bright scientifical argument indeed, congratulations, CC 

You can't compare middle ages with nowadays, human population exploded in number and denying human activity impact on Earth is closing eyes in front of realdom.
Anyhow, now, we know that there have been iceballs eras showing that the so-called self regulating system can get out of self regulation limits as a chaotic system in which small causes can bring tremendously big effects.
Therefore, nothing can allow you to say that human activity that you seem to reduce to little causes will not bring dramatic effects.
So, taking care of reducing human possible causes on climate is just wisdom.
And notice that there is nothing politically left-sided in theses arguments.

Back to politics, there is a deadline in Iraq war. If ever the number of US soldiers killed in Iraq should exceed the number of victims of the 9/11, Bush's pretention to protect american people from terrorism will prove to be a total failure, as his action will have brought more US citizens death than terrorists' action.
I can't imagine what would be the US opinion reactions if there happened to be only one terrorist attack on the US soil, but for guys like Bin Laden, no use to try, knowing that, objectively, this administration is the best terrorists recruiting agent.
Did he not publicly enjoyed on Bush's reelection ?

Don't you try to reverse the real positions.
None of which ? may be, but if you collect the whole datas, then there are no doubts.
Still you blah blah blah. The faith is on your side, not on the scientific side.
If you cannot demonstrate that solar activity or inner earth radioactivity is on the rise,
or that astronomic conditions are responsible for earth temperature rise, then you have as only argument you stutborn conviction to deny scientific evidences.

This doesn't seem as a very good idea because what is important is to reduce albedo above :shock:  green house gaz layers, not under.
I just hope that if global warming is a reality, the feed back will simply rely on more evaporation, thus more altitude clouds reducing Earth albedo above the green house layers.

I'm glad of that discovery as I wrote five years ago in a astronomy children book that different speed core spinning should be responsible for earth magnetism, and that cyclic cinetic energy exchanges between inner solid core and liquid metallic crusts surrounding it should be responsible for magnetic polar inversions. 
This is still to verify.

And while hurricanes strike, at UNO, Bush's diplomacy forbids any reference on climate change...  :shock:

But one thing is sure, the warmer the climate will be the more violent and frequent hurricanes will be as natural heath dissipation mechanisms

Back from 15 hollidays in center of France province Auvergne,
an ancient hot spot powerful volcano region.
There I went to listen to an american classical music trio amazed to play in a delicious

XIIth century built roman architecture church
with clock tower pointing at the sky as a space vessel
in front of 70 people out from a 700 hundred peoples country village.
One said that in USA, to have such an audience, they should play in a 10000 inhabitants town.

By the way, guess where US long horns cows are originated from ?

Salers, a mountain very resistant to heath and cold race of cows brought to Louisiana by froggies when Louisiana extended up to Baton Rouge

Don't forget that under an hurricane is an intense depression that can rise the sea level up to more than 15 feets upon normal, bringing sea floding.
Are waves heigth calculated with the level rising ? Apparently, yes if waves heigth are calculated with sea floor based instruments
also, rogue waves profile present a front that is like almost vertical like wall, if waves profiles are mountain like shaped except when meeting sea floor, no rogue waves

I think that describing Saddam power as only relying on Baath or Sunnis is a mistake.
Regime played on Shias divisions and antagonisms and had agreements with what was to his eyes "moderate" Shia religious leaders, as well as some Kurds allies.
Shias and Kurd revolts against Saddam regime were boosted by Bush-the-father during and after Gulf War 1.
Gaz wich had been polically correct a weapon against Iranian troops during Iraq-Iran war became WMD when used at shia and kurd insurgents.

What about Blair saying there is not the very tiniest link between London attacks and Iraq ? his nose's inflating 
The leading bunch don't want to learn, it wants to teach democracy.
And War On Terror
I've just understood its strategy, I understand quite fast if explained a very very long time :?
it is very brilliant.
It's based on the concept "If we can't go to Usama, Usama will come to us",  :shock:
therefore, if we stand in Iraq, Usama will come into Iraq, there, we'll just have to capture him, and we'll win war on terror, and have Jed elected
Machiavelic, is it not ?
