I wonder if global warming might now become more of an issue...

I hope so, but I fear that it may not!

I suspect that Bush will remain in a state of denial - just as Blair refuses
to acknowledge any link between Iraq and the London bombings.

One really does wonder which planet there people belong to!

I don't care as long as they go back there soon.

Not in the USA it won't. There is more chance of Ian Paisley being the
next Pope.

Which would be a good thing. At least he doesn't think "every sperm is
sacred". :-)

Its a lot more encouraging than that. Have a look at the latest
edition of New Scientist. Several US states are holding up two
fingers to dubya and bringing in their own legislation about
emissions (remember there is local democracy there!). Even
dubya's government is looking at ways to improve the efficiency
of fossil fuel burning and filtering out CO2 and sequestering it. China,
which will soon overtake the US in CO2 emission are into this as well.

So ghastly though it was for the people living there might be some
good effects from the hurricane. Seems to me its all now a questioon of
timing. Will the new technologies and attitudes have effect soon enough
before really irreversible things happen, like methane release from
ancient frozen swamps and huge sea level rises due to melting.

I feel more optimistic now than I was a few years ago. There is strong
evidence or growing concern by people who can make things happen.

AIUI Bush's position is that global warming is a reality, but it's
probably entirely natural rather than a result of man's activities. So
Katrina is simply irrelevant.

 From people interviewed on the news tonight, at least a few septics are 
also asking the same questions

You don't come across as a believer :-)

Some of us have been trying for many years - in the face of scorn and 
insults from anti-environmentalists.

Ah well, we'll see.

Perhaps.

Not in my time I suspect but it would be lovely to think, "I told them so 
.... "

Why?  What is happening now is not different to what has been happening 
for tens of thousands of years.

The difference now it is being reported by the news media and it's made 
to look worse by journalists sensationalising the stories with the sole 
purpose of filling the 24 hour a day broadcasting slots.

I agree that its been happening for a long time before we were on the 
earth, but it does appear that the problem is accelerating.

I`m sure the fact all the worlds' oil reserves, which took many millions 
of years to form, have been burnt in less than 100 years has no bearing 
on this though :-p

Yes, the pollution from cars is responsible for the end of the last ice 
age!
