The Bush administration's environmental and domestic policies have ignored the threat of disaster to New Orleans. Erosion in the Mississippi River delta has been known as a serious issue as far back as 2001. Hurricane Ivan which barely spared New Orleans in 2004 sent a strong warning. In spite of this, funding cuts have caused the Army Corps of Engineers to cancel on-going projects which were restoring the wetlands to protect the gulf from just this sort of disaster. This was documented in a National Geographic article in February of this year (see link).
Here's an excerpt: "Their erosion is more than just an environmental concern, as it exposes the U.S. oil, gas, and fishing industries to harmful flooding and shifting waterways.".
To be fair, global warming is NOT believed to be responsible for the increased hurricane activity in the Atlantic. This is a natural cycle, which is expected to increase for the next 10 years. Forewarned is forearmed.
