I've seen a graph that shows for every degree of ocean warming, there is "X" degree greater intensity for hurricanes

That's true, but it misses the point.

Katrina was a disaster because it hit at a particularly bad place, the residents weren't prepared, and there were technology failures, not because it was an especially bad storm when it hit. Global warming may have contributed to the formation of the storm but to claim it as a salient factor in the disaster that was NO is over the top. It was a disaster due to human error.

I saw on TV this morning that NO is sinking an inch a year, faster than previously estimated. NO is not a good place for a city unless it wants to emulate Venice.
