An NYT article saying that there is not a direct link between climate change and the scale of disasters. Put another way, people are now building in more risky areas. In my mind, think of those people who have all moved to Florida.
In the mean time, does anyone have documentation on efforts to build dikes in Bangladesh. That nation today has serious problems with flooding, which will only get worse if global temperatures increase and the sea level rises. I just don't hear about it. It would seem to me that this is where we should start taking protective action. With 166 million people and 30 million of them made homeless in September 1998 this seems like an area ripe for action.
