New Orleans looked really bad during the Katrina debacle, but in the minds of many, hurricanes are common along the Gulf Coast and Katrina seemed inevitable. But a hurricane in Boston – that would really do the trick to firmly sell the global warming – hurricane link. They would never mind the evidence from Besonen et al. showing that these events were relatively common during the 12th –16th centuries, long before the Industrial Revolution.
