The lessons of Katrina: Global warming “adaptation” is a cruel euphemism — and prevention is far, far cheaper

The Storm of the Century (so far)

Climate Progress

Today is the fourth anniversary of Katrina’s path of destruction through New Orleans. Climate Progress does a fantastic job of explaining what we need to take out of this disaster and learn from it. We cannot “adapt” to climate change. The only solution is to fight it. Otherwise, the entire Gulf Coast will become sitting ducks for warming-driven superstorms.

As an added bonus, The New York Times explains why millions in Nepal are facing hunger also as a result of climate change. Clearly, this is a problem of global proportions if it wasn’t clear already.
