But what if those enormous funds, addressing speculative impacts far in the future, were devoted to tackle the very real challenges the poor face now—AIDS, malaria, clean water, health care, sanitation and affordable energy? Those are real crises “not to be wasted” for remedies that have real, near-term solutions to the benefit of the most vulnerable among us.

“History will judge our decision.”
Is he saying that Christ will not return soon?

Is that a Catholic doctrine? We know not the hour.

The judgement of Christ, not of Karl Marx "history" is what a Christian is supposed to be concerned about.

This is a really very well-reasoned article. In simpler terms, as Rush said years ago, all people who eat carrots die, but that doesn’t mean that eating carrots causes death.

The strongest hurricane to hit Puerto Rico was in 1928. This one will do more damage because there are a couple more people on the island now. “San Felipe” made landfall in Southeast Puerto Rico in the vicinity of Guayama-Arroyo at around 2 PM AST September 13th with officially estimated sustained winds of 160 mph and a measured pressure in Arroyo of 27.50 in/hg or 931 millibars (It is not known if this pressure was actually measured in the eye). For the next eight to ten hours the eye of the hurricane crossed Puerto Rico from southeast to northwest without losing much strength, still with category 5 intensity when it left the northwest side of the island in the vicinity of Aguadilla at around 10-11 PM AST September 13th. The wind report from San Juan was of sustained 160 mph at around 1 PM AST before the instrument was destroyed by the winds. Stronger winds were probably felt after the instrument was destroyed, this are the highest sustained winds ever reported in Puerto Rico. As the official intensity estimates are of 160 mph (140 kts) when the storm hit Puerto Rico, there are estimates of sustained winds in the area of 180-200 mph were the strongest part of the eyewall passed over, which was the southeast coast of the island.

This is a very well written article and is helpful to those of us who are arguing with brainwashed liberals. Thank you!
