"I cant be sure, but I think that his views on global warming are a lot of the reason. I had NOAA National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration money for 30 some years, and then when the Clinton administration came in and Gore started directing some of the environmental stuff, I was cut off.... They turned down 13 straight projects from me."

The role of environmental activists such as former U.S. vice-president Al Gore, the Sierra Club and others in putting the city of New Orleans at risk extends far deeper into the process. For more than 20 years, probably longer, activist groups have fought against projects that aimed to shore up flood defences in the Mississippi and Gulf region.

By the mid-1990s, the federal government agency charged with most of the flood-control -- the Army Corps of Engineers -- was spending more and more of its effort on environmental work. Instead of restoring and shoring up levees, it was charged with restoring wetlands.

The Sierra Club Legal Defense Fund filed suits against the Corps of Engineers, initially blocking levee improvements, insisting on new environmental impact studies. "The Corps plans will cause an avoidable and senseless loss to our nations wetlands," said the head of the Mississippi River Basin Alliance. Delays ensued.

Then there were budget problems. Money for a US47-million flood-control and drainage project for a section of New Orleans was shot down by the Clinton administration in 1997. It was not a "national" project. Källa: Länk: tinyurl.com |

Katastrofen i NO avslöjar det mentala tillståndet i USA. När folk drabbas av en katastrof blir folk som djur. Plundrar, våldtar och slåss med varann. Sliter mat ur varandras händer. Tänk på Thailand, där alla agerade mänskligt och hjälpte varandra.

I USA, individualismen förlovade land, förvånar folk omvärlden när de hjälplöst irrar runt och ropar på statens hjälp. I Thailand satte alla igång att röja i ruinerna, leta efter döda och sårade, man började bygga upp det som raserats omedelbart. Frid över alla sorgsna själar.

Vi vet hur människor i Sverige skulle agera i en liknande situation. Folk som CMO och L Nilsson skulle sitta i ett gathörn och tjuta efter farbror staten eller också skulle de ge sig ut på plundringståg. Vi andra skulle spotta i nävarna, hugga i och hjälpas åt.

Ja det var ju "hjälpsamma" kommentarer. Är du kanske en sån där "amerikan" bloggi...?
