Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

The religion of global warming

In ancient times natural disasters were attributed to displeasing various gods. The religion of global warming backed up by a text of junk science is making the same ridiculous claim about hurricane Katrina.

The Washington Times in its editorial discusses the diatribe:

Global-warming proponents have taken to suggesting, or declaring outright without evidence, that global warming caused Katrina. It's impossible, of course, even if a man-made global-warming problem were real: Both the severity and frequency of hurricanes in the United States decreased from the 1940s to the mid-1990s.
William M. Gray, a leading atmospheric scientist, told the New York Times that the uptick we've seen since 1994 is "very much natural." "What we see in the Atlantic is mostly the natural swing," he said. The evidence was sufficiently compelling for the news pages of the New York Times to declare that it is "not the case" that global warming caused the hurricane.
But those facts didn't deter some people bent on warping reality to support their agenda. Some even hinted that U.S. abstention from the Kyoto Protocol is to blame. The latter honor goes to Robert F. Kennedy Jr.: "Katrina is giving our nation a glimpse of the climate chaos we are bequeathing our children," wrote Mr. Kennedy. He blamed Republicans: "Now we are all learning what it's like to reap the whirlwind of fossil-fuel dependence which [Mississippi Gov. Haley] Barbour and his cronies have encouraged."

Just becuase they really believe their own nonsense does not make it so. Perhaps we should have blamed Katrina on Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.s blocking of wind farms off of Nantucket becuase it spoiled the view from the Kennedy compound. You never know if the fossil fuel not burned becuase of the wind farm would have been enough to save us from Katrina. Kennedy is hoist on his own petard.
