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.

the oil will last some more, true. But it will become increasingly difficult to produce oil from these wells. that is why the prises are rising.
Goverments will have no choise but to fund the research on alternative fuels, the current prices are ripping our economy apart. Many products are made of oil, cosmetics, plastic, much is made of plastic these days. And the import and export of various products also rely on fossil fuels.
If the demands for fuel cannot be met, then there are two options. Stop driving around, stop import and export. Or switch to other fuel sources. Wich is most likely?
Besides, goverments are already funding research on alternative fuels.



Yes, it is always sad when people die, people are not just numbers, i have the greatest symphaty for those people.
