Hi!

Sorry I wasn't trying to imply that Katrina was caused by climate change. What I was trying to say is that as a result of higher sea surface temperatures, caused by warming, hurricanes will become more severe. Thats what the scientist found whilst working at NOAA, which was published apparently four weeks before Katrina struck. The point was, according to this documentary ('Panorama' by the BBC, http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/programmes/panorama/default.stm ) the scientist involved was basically hushed up by the American government - they didn't want links between Katrina and global warming, even if they were false. I think that they were trying to avoid the media saying 'as a result of global warming we will be seeing increased levels of hurricane activity, such as Katrina' sort of thing.

Oh well,

Kind regards

Meri
