Actually yes, there is a correlation that if global warming does exist, it will cause more intense hurricanes. According to global warming, the planet is heating up -- causing warmer oceans which lead to lower pressures and more intense hurricanes.

And I think New Orleans shouldn't be rebuilt. As a taxpayer I wouldn't want my money being funnelled into rebuilding a city that could have the same tragedy befall it in a season or two. NO kept dodging natures bullets for too long and this time it got hit. One day nature's going to get a headshot when it sweeps a CAT4 or 5 hurricane right over the big easy.

And Stein could have been a little more nonpartisan with that message ...
