What I meant by Global Warming contributing to this event, relates to the flooding in New Orleans not the creation of a Hurricane. Everyone knows global warming has contributed to increased sea levels, and also in the warming of the oceans. However , "in my opinion", global warming and the straightening of the Mississippi river exacerbated the flooding caused by the hurricane.
I do not think Global Warming was the cause of this one weather event. However, I do feel that global warming maybe a contributor in the future (near or distant future, it doesnt matter) of increased events such as this, if we do not start paying attention to the environment. Thats all I was actually trying to state. I appreciate your critique which has enabled me to clarify my point of view.
