Smirk while the south swims

Still, it will be a consolation to the people of New Orleans that their city was sacrificed in a "noble cause". The new FDR cut funding for flood protection to pay for his Middle East adventure. The irony is that the war had the aim of securing resources that when used will increase the pressure on the climate.

Sadly, as is his wont, the smirking one ignored the Cassandras who told them that even a regular hurricane would inundate New Orleans, just as he ignores the consensus of the world's climate scientists that we face increasing negative consequences, perhaps disaster, from greenhouse gas-driven global warming.
