Meltdown planet Earth?, Is Katrina ominous sign of future Options

According to the scientists were going to have one of the worst hurricane, typhoon etc seasons ever recored in America. Katrina's damage has been massive, far more than the average storm. Of course it's unfortunate that so many have died.

I'm mainly wondering, who here thinks that this is really just a period of natural climate change, or if this is ominous sign that the world's eco-terrorism will lead to greater and greater natural disasters until earth is just a junk heap.

My personal belief is that the world is changing for the better, but by being narrow minded and not understanding the true nature of the sentiment of terrorism most of the world will abuse the resources of the world will become a very bad place to live. Of course, I know that we as a whole believe science will rescue us from everything and it will be interesting to see if science really does supply us with those things which we need. I'm interested to hear what everyone else thinks about this.

This gives me a chance to ask the guestion, do you think the sea will give New Orleans back? I mean they're below sea level and attempts to fix the levee have failed, and the only way to get that water out is to pump it out. So even if the city gets that far, it will still reek for years.

To kind of answer your question, I think science could save us, but there's too many greedy corporate jackasses to let it happen. They can make cars that don't run on gasoline but they won't, they can make a car that lasts for 50 years but they won't. They could bring down the gas prices if they wanted to but they won't. They're storing this oil and sitting on it, claiming there's a shortage and it's a good excuse for price gouging. It's digusting. Simply put, we can do without these non-renewable resources and pollution but its cheaper for the big business owners to dump the pollution in a river and keep the hybrid vehicles under wraps. And there's plenty of coruption in the government to let all this crap keep happening.

Take a look at some statistics in New Jersey. I'm from South Jersey, and because we live so close to Dupont and three mile island, I know alot of women who for some reason can't have children or have dangerously abnormal menstral cycles. Sadly, I also know more and more women with breast cancer. If you're not takin care of the earth your not takin care of the women and there goes mankind.
