In the Wake of the Flood

Glenn Reynolds has some excellent observations about emergency preparedness. I say a first step would be to either lower the river or raise the city above sea level, or put it on pontoons. I know that they aren't the only ones who have relied on levees, but it is a reason to guard against complacency.

Jame Taranto has some interesting quotes from duelling prophets of doom. Compare the judgemental reactions of Pat Robertson with that of environmentalists on the left. The difference is that people can repent and get right with God, while I strongly doubt that we can do much about global warming. It's probably going to continue no matter what we do.
