Are you going to blame global warming if an earthquake separates the San Andreas fault?
Is the Tsunami that ravaged the terrorist haven of Indonesia Global Warmings fault or is it likely things like that have happened before except we just never had the media coverage cover it like a pack of wild dogs before?

Actually, the levees were built to withstand force 3s, cause they didn't think it was worth it on the offchance a force 4 or 5 would hit it.
Human factors sure did create New Orleans... ineptitude and cheapness.
