No one is forecasting that Irene will be a major hurricane when it hits New York. It is barely a major hurricane now. McKibben is completely FOS.
Disrupting the Borg is expensive and time consuming!

Steve, Here is a story you might want to cover …

Here is a possibly great news story, one that Lubos just mentioned at his site. I like his description …

That is a change we can believe in!
Just imagine if Obama had proposed in his stimulus legislation that major flood control prevetion work would be undertaken. I think the Republican party would have paid a heavy price for opposing it. However, he didn’t propose any such plans. His big spending plans were to keep teachers and other government employees from suffering from the big recession and he proposed major legislation on climate change and idiotic projects such as the Mass Transit Tunnel and high speed rail.
In summary, a mininal amount of the spending was directed toward flood control and hurricanes even though everyone knew that one day, the New York/New Jersey area would get hit by a hurricane.
The Japanese spent billions on preventing global warming and what did it get them-more nuclear reactors. Did that work out well? The problem with spending these multiple billions on global warrming is that real problems are short changed.
I don’t think that the Japanese built nuclear plants for climate mitigation but because Japan has no coal or oil. It was the sensible choice at the time to satisfy an increasing energy requirement.
The Japanese nuclear problem was not caused by the earthquake. The reactor at Fukishima shut down as designed to a safe level. It wa the tsunami that caused the problem since he sea wall was not tall enough.
