Warmist Paul Douglas on Irene hype: "My big concern: a growing risk of APATHY"

Seasonably Mild Week ("Irene": less storm surge, more inland flooding than expected) | StarTribune.com

some of the more extreme predictions (8-12 foot storm surge for New York City?) were wildly inflated, and borderline irresponsible. My big concern: a growing risk of APATHY. New Yorkers (and New England residents in general) may react with a "so what?" reaction the next time a truly dangerous hurricane threatens the east coast. The truth: we've experienced winter nor'easters that were more damaging than this hurricane.
