Irony or what!?

And that'll be because America refuse to take part in saving the environment.
They'd alsobe desperate to keep their own borders and expand without actually doing what the Nazi party did and just try and take their neighbours land, whereas America has plenty of places to build citys rather than in the largest natural bowl they could find.
To be fair though, I don't actually know the history of how New Orleans came about, or how many times it's actually flooded over the years, so I may have been a little harsh.
It happens in this country too, people moan every year that their house built on reclaimed marsh land beside the local river floods.

If I could just draw your attention to the topography of Holland...?
The city flooded in the 60s caused by a storm just as powerful as Katrina, that's why they built the levees, but they wouldn't have stopped it flooding back then either.
I'm not joining an arguement about whether it is global warming doing this or not. The storms we have seen don't go above what has happened in the past so I'm not goiing to claim to know anything about meteorology.

The fist part of that makes no sense. It's partly due to global warming that it's not safe now.
Fair enough it is only flooding because it is still damaged but it seems these hurricanes will become more frequent.
