I liked the first posted comment, says it all. Mr. Barbour has yet to deal with the dead and this is what he's hit with. Classy.

Posted Comments:
I can't believe it but I think you are being entirely serious. You really seem to believe that Gov. Barbour's rejection of Kyoto is responsible for this hurricane.

I declare this to be an instant HuffPo classic. Satire is - once again - made redundant.

Well, carbon dioxide--CO2--is an inevitable by-product of breathing.

Does Mr. Kennedy want to get rid of all us polluters?

Hmmm, lets see. Robert Kennedy Jr. believes non-support of a horrid treaty is the cause of Hurricane Katrina?

Robert Kennedy Jr. is the typical liberal blow hard who seems to relish tragedy, since it is a way to throw blame towards his political opponents.

If you take a pure evolutionary view of the world, and say that it is 4.5 billion years old. Then we have been keeping track of historical temperatures for less than (1) 227 thousandth of one percent of the time. Not the greatest sample to determine a long range pattern.

Also consider that even environmentalists admit that man is only creating 4.5% of the worlds greenhouse gases, while nature creates the remaining 95.5% of the worlds greenhouse gasses

Also consider that some meteorologists feel this hurricane cycle is normal:

RFK Jr is supposed to make us think that forcing a bad, job destroying treaty down the throats of Americans would some how have prevented Hurrican Katrina?

Robert Kennedy Jr missed this article in the New York Times?

Quote:

Storms Vary With Cycles, Experts Say

Quote:

Because hurricanes form over warm ocean water, it is easy to assume that the recent rise in their number and ferocity is because of global warming.

But that is not the case, scientists say. Instead, the severity of hurricane seasons changes with cycles of temperatures of several decades in the Atlantic Ocean. The recent onslaught "is very much natural," said William M. Gray, a professor of atmospheric science at Colorado State University who issues forecasts for the hurricane season.

I love the link at the bottom of the web page!

www.StopGlobalWarming.org

In the last million years, there have been 10 ice ages and 10 periods of interglacial warming. And Robert Kennedy and Adriana Huffington are going to STOP global warming!
