Actually Katrina didn't do much, storm wise, to NO. I well remember the broadcasts from the French Quarter that NO had "dodged the bullet" as Katrina slid East to Mississippi.
The failure of the levys, on the other hand, ...
The failure of he levies is what he was on about. He said the place was a disaster waiting to happen.
That was the Shrimp (Shep) on bourbon street and he was plastered. The storm hit in the exact manner described as a worse case scenario for flooding. While he was drunk on Bourbon, the lower wards were flooding.
The models werent designed to show anything but AGW.Bastardi said. Part of the reason we got this winter forecast right and again Ill show you this winter forecast is I knew that with the Pacific cooling, we are getting back toward those times in the 60s and 70s. Thats where winters are going to go. When the Pacific cools, the Atlantic cools, guess what happens? You cool those big bodies of water, you are going to cool the atmosphere around it. The models arent capable of handling this.
In a nutshell.
The AGW models have no significant predictive ability; they are merely political tools.
