re: Finally someone admits it: Tim Cook "My Generation Has Failed You"

They are aware that 2005 was not the first time New Orleans was hit by a major hurricane, right? It was, however, the first time the levees broke. Which, last I checked, was not attributable to climate change.

We harnessed the flow of the rivers (particularly the Mississippi) which altered the natural flooding and sediment disbursement that had been taking place for millions, upon millions of years. Well before the industrial revolution.

But sure, man-made climate change is to blame for poor people wanting to leave homelands at the brink, if not already below sea level.

Does anyone really thing coastal erosion won't happen if we somehow figure out a way to keep the earth's temp at just the perfect degree? Plus, for all the doomsday post Katrina predictions, everyone seems to forget NOLA hasn't dealt with a major hurricane since (nearly 15 years)
