Global Warming and Energy

Computer models suggest Isaac is more likely to threaten Biloxi than Tampa. Even though Isaac is predicted to be only a category two when it hits the gulf coast, New Orleans is at risk because the government controls its levies, insuring they are vulnerable. Predictions still favor my prediction that Isaac will not be a hurricane when it first strikes the US in the Florida keys.

Turning a good rainstorm in a crisis, Republicans cancel the first day of their convention in Tampa. This is just foolish. The storm would have brought them coverage. Now they're going to lose coverage on Monday, and they'll lose more coverage because the storm, predicted to be a category two at that time, will hit land during the convention. What a screw-up.
