Wasn\’t New Orleans around for at least a couple years before the Army Corp of Engineers? Don\’t know, but it just seems hard to blame them for failure in their attempt to protect what was placed in harms way more than 100 years earlier!
Perhaps the corp can develop time travel technology, and travel back in time to warn the stupid people who built a city below sea level that it\’s not a good idea to do so when you\’re so close to the SEA!
Doubtful they\’d listen, but it would make for an interesting short film subject.
great point, Ray…the Environmental Defense and the National Wildlife Federation, aren\’t these the same folks who are against almost any kind of levee building in regards to rivers, damming of streams, etc?
So, if we want to build a levy, they\’ll fight us in court, and then after the old one fails, they\’ll criticize our efforts with their PR guys.
Can I donate a couple carbon credits to this worthy organization?
During Earth\’s life there were 6 ice ages. We are still coming out of the last one. Politicians will piggy back onto any issue so tax money will flow their way.
If CO2 is the culprit how do they expect us to do anything about it when humans contribute only 4% of the total CO2?
Stop exhaling C02, you selfish breather. But I guess you won\’t do that because \”A zebra does not change its spots.\” – Al Gore, The Toronto Sun, 11/19/95.
Do men and women exhale equal amounts of C02, Mr. Gore?

Just a factual correction to your post. Al Gore\’s carbon credit company only has one client on it\’s list, that is Al Gore. The company has no other clients.
ho ho ho
No wonder no one take insurance agents seriously anymore… read these posts and you see how simple minded insurance people have become. Once we were respected as thinking people now all we do is bash democrats! Check out Japan and other areas to see how technology works…we are too corrupt as a country to pull together to fix anything… if there is no gov\’t hand out then we don\’t want to help… poor poor pitiful agents!
The water wouldn\’t rise if the iceburgs all melted. Whoever is claiming that doesn\’t know basic science. Take a bowl, put some ice cubes in it and then fill it with water to the rim. Wait a couple of hours and see if it overflows once all the ice cubes melt.

Really? So how does one start a similar racket?
I was thinking the same thing. How can I Save the planet from global warming by offering carbon credits (for $10,000 per credit…)

I know somebody here has a black-belt in google-fu.
Would that person please find me a link showing rising ocean levels?
Would they also find which groups blocked levee building along the Mississippi and which groups published the paper referenced in the article?
