re: This Day in History. Global Warming Strikes Galveston

I've often wondered how deadly the 1900 Storm would have been for modern Galveston, as opposed to the old city built about three feet ASL, with no seawall and no early warning system.
It wasn't a baby storm, but it was only Cat-4 by modern standards. The Seawall alone would have created a drastic reduction in the deaths. Modern warning systems might well have prevented all of them.

People living there today would evacuate as a result of advanced warning technology. That’s what would prevent thousands of deaths.
In 1900, most people had no clue the danger heading their way. No tracking technology, no internet, etc.. Back then, they might read in the Galveston newspaper that a hurricane had hit Cuba the previous day and thought nothing about it except “that is terrible to hear.”

I've often wondered why the devastating weather and rising ocean levels predicted by the Gore/Kerry types have not occurred.
"Climate shifts up to half as large as the entire difference between ice age and modern conditions occurred over hemispheric or broader regions in mere years to decades. Such abrupt changes have been absent during the few key millennia when agriculture and industry have arisen. The speed, size, and extent of these abrupt changes required a reappraisal of climate stability. Records of these changes are especially clear in high-resolution ice cores."
