Why this tragedy is really an atrocity

[sigma7]

From the October 2001 issue of Scientific American.

A major hurricane could swamp New Orleans under 20 feet of water, killing thousands. Human activities along the Mississippi River have dramatically increased the risk, and now only massive reengineering of southeastern Louisiana can save the city.

Also, if the National Guard is trying to evacuate from a drowning city, maybe you shouldn't shoot at their helicopters. Cretins.

I think I read that SciAm article when it first came out.
