The Junta in charge should be overthrown, then executed one by one for allowing this to occur, and Al Gore should be laughed out of town for his ridiculous claim that this tragedy had anything to do with global warming, anything at all.
At most it was nothing more than a hurricane type event that this country and many others face every year around the world with minimal death resulting, thankfully due to our blessed abundance of resources and wealth that we were all readily willing to share with these unfortunate souls that are now dying by the thousands.
This article takes the loser Gore to task for his alarmist claims and vulture like behavior immediately after the storm passed over Myanmar and one person was yet to be declared dead. As the author accurately refers to him in what should be his title from this day on , "The Great Profiteer of Doom".
NationalGeographic has a good story about the deadly cyclone that has killed many from a storm surge quite similar to the one seen in Katrina, although with a government in charge there that shows what really happens when incompetence is at the helm.Burma killed by tyranny |
Herald Sun: "THE vultures are circling over Burma's dead. Hey, isn't that fat one Al Gore?
Sure is. And - flap, flap, plop - there he lands, the first to go picking over carcasses for scraps to feed his great global warming scare campaign.
What the world should be learning from this terrible loss of at least 60,000 people in the cyclone that hit Burma last week is that tyrannies kill more surely than any freak of weather.
But Al Gore, who won a Nobel 'Peace' Prize for terrifying people with his error-riddled An Inconvenient Truth, wants you to blame instead his pet bogeyman. Tremble, sinners, before the wrath of a hot planet!
In an interview on America's NPR on Tuesday, Gore claimed Cyclone Nargis was actually part of a pattern.""Last year a catastrophic storm . . . hit Bangladesh. The year before, the strongest cyclone in more than 50 years hit China, and we're seeing consequences that scientists have long predicted might be associated with continued global warming."
This cyclone that hit Burma is a "consequence" of global warming? Gore should die of shame to peddle such self-serving deceptions.
Fact: The world has not warmed in a decade, says the Hadley Centre and two of the three other institutions that measure its temperature.
Fact: Any link between hurricanes and warming is highly disputed by scientists, with "evidence both for and against", says the American Meteorological Society.
Fact: The data is "insufficiently reliable to detect trends on the frequency of extreme cyclones", says a recent paper in Science by world authority Chris Landsea.
Fact: The cyclone that hit Burma was just a category three storm - not a category five - and less deadly than worse cyclones that struck Bangladesh in 1970 and 1991. What's more, Gore concedes the record breaker was 50 years ago, before the world got this gassy.
So there's no recent warming, no agreed link with cyclones, no trend of worse cyclones, and nothing unusually strong about the one that hit Burma.
Yet there goes Gore - caw, caw, caw - flogging the warming scare that has made him so fantastically rich. The great Profit of Doom. continued here
A far cry from what actually happened in New Orleans, that the left insists on blaming George Bush for instead of the local Nagin and Blanco incompetence that left the poor and the lazy in place in the storm surge's path, when they all had every opportunity to exit town in plenty of time but for whatever reasons chose not to.
Why the Cyclone in Myanmar Was So DeadlyNational Geographic online: It was Asia's answer to Hurricane Katrina—though with a reported 100,000 killed, it was many times more deadly.
Packing winds upward of 120 miles an hour (193 kilometers an hour), Cyclone Nargis became one of Asia's deadliest storms by hitting land at one of the lowest points in Myanmar (also called Burma) and setting off a storm surge that reached 25 miles (40 kilometers) inland.
"When we saw the [storm] track, I said, 'Uh oh, this is not going to be good,'" said Mark Lander, a meteorology professor at the University of Guam.
"It would create a big storm surge. It was like Katrina going into New Orleans."

"Cyclone" is the name given to a hurricane when it occurs in the northern Indian Ocean or, as is the case with Cyclone Nargis, the Bay of Bengal (see map). (Get the basics on hurricanes/cyclones. continued here
