I think what people have said is that it was (possibly) larger and stronger because of warming oceans. No. It's an absurd assertion. If you want to say that future hurricane seasons will continue to have more and stronger hurricanes because of global warming, that's not an absurd assertion. That might be wrong, that might be right, only time will tell. If you want to say that global warming would probably cause more and stronger hurricanes, that's not an absurd assertion. That's likely true. But to say that the most destructive hurricane in American history, which was so destructive due to man-made causes which are NOT global warming, that's simply absurd. Katrina would likely have been less harmful if human beings hadn't destroyed wetlands. Katrina would likely have been less harmful if human beings had not built on wetlands. Katrina would likely have been less harmful if human beings had not artificially diverted the silt-building mechanisms of the Mississippi River by artificial levees. There are a lot of fingers to point about Katrina. Global warming isn't one of them.
