Katrina has nothing to do with global warming. This guy doesn't know any more than you and I whether global warming is a factor or not. What we do know is that the Gulf is 2-4 degrees warmer than normal and that that fact made Katrina more powerful. Its also possible that the Gulf may have been unnaturally warmed by the increased warming of the atmosphere for the past decade. Many scientists believe that the warmer air is due to global warming. If that's true, then global warming was a factor in the development of Katrina as a more powerful hurricane. Having said that, I think its very likely that Katrina may still have happened but as a much less powerful hurricane. So global warming would have had an effect in the degree of strength rather than the actual development of Katrina. Try to not listen to myth based authors.......they will only confuse you.
