/ 3) Non-partisan examination of causes of disaster (2.88 / 17) (#155) by lordDogma on Fri Sep 2nd, 2005 at 10:51:45 PM EST I. This disaster appears to have been made far far worse than it could have been by a number of factors: A. The Hurricane was a Category 4/5. 1. We are in a bad hurricane cycle southeast denver that will last another 20 years. 2. Global warming might contribute to hurricane intensity, but this is most likely political dogma in the case southeast denver of Katrina. 3. Levee system (see C) was southeast denver designed for Category 3 max. B. The precarious location of New Orleans. 1. Surrounded by water on three sides. 2. 70% below sea level and slowly sinking. C. A river levee system, along with overzealous oil exploration. 1. causes the marshes protecting New Orleans from storm surge to disappear at a rate of two acres per hour (yeah I know thats pretty stunning - I got it from National Geographic).
