While politicians continue to point fingers at each other, author John Berlau puts the primary blame of hurricane Katrina’s destruction on radical environmentalists in Eco-Freaks: Environmentalism Is Hazardous to Your Health!:

In the 1970s, environmentalists halted the building of the flood barrier that experts believed would have been best at stopping the surge of the Gulf of Mexico from entering Lake Pontchartrain…[the construction was stopped by] a victorious lawsuit by the Environmental Defense Fund (now Environmental Defense) and the local group, Save Our Wetlands…Katrina, by the time it hit landfall, turned out to be an average hurricane…It was solely the breech of the levees - again, in large part due to environmentalists nixing stronger protection - that made the storm so destructive.

The author spends a chapter that leaves no detail unexamined in the Katrina fiasco. The book itself is a stunning examination of the results of the radical end of environmentalism. Radicals like these probably cause many people to ignore the environment, not to mention the lives lost because of radicalism. I’ll be posting some more excerpts from the book over the next few weeks.

You know I never hear the press praising Wilkes Barre Pa for the way they evacuated their city in the spring . There was a danger of the dikes not holding and the people up there got out, But you will never hear about that now will you.
