You must have me confused with someone talking about the destruction. I said "4th most powerful hurricane? Sounds impressive to me- even without all the damage." And as we agreed, you aren't sure that Gore was talking about the "aftermath"- or the destruction caused by poor building. I don't know what you think we're arguing about. I'm just saying I agree with the scientists who think global warming causing higher sea temperatures is possibly causing more hurricanes, larger hurricanes, and hurricanes of greater strength. I quote, from an earlier post: "It very well could have been big and strong because of global warming though. I don't think anyone said it was the result of warming- I think what people have said is that it was (possibly) larger and stronger because of warming oceans. That's a different thing to say. You keep stating something else, as if people say it that way- and I haven't seen any scientist say it that way (or Al GORE, for that matter)." I haven't talked about the damage. You keep acting as if I am, but I'm not. If you think Gore's use of the pictures of the damage was misleading, fine- people can be stupid- maybe it's misleading. It wouldn't mislead me, but based on what people believed after the Bush speeches, there are obviously some very easily manipulated people out there- I'm willing to concede that the illogical people out there may be misled, by Gore, by Bush, by anyone who wants to mislead them.
