Attention to anyone on Texas Gulf Coast

Purist Audio is located only 20 minutes from the ocean in South Texas.

I got an email from them a few minutes ago stating part of the family was headed to Dallas.

Houston was ruled out because it may be in trouble too and hotels in all smaller cities were already filled due to Katrina and Texans who heeded early warning and already evacuated.

Even if no one believes in Global Warming, pretend you do and make the politicians adopt stricter emissions and cleaner air laws. I have scientific evidence that clean air actually allows even inexpensive stereo equipment sound like "price is no object" tube equipment. Jim

During the time of crisis & change in medieval Europe C.1400 the climate of the world changed dramatically within a very short window of time. Scientists are comparing this earths natural climate processes to that of today’s rising temperature through several studies, one being tree ring analysis.

you guys who debunk global warming must be gangbuster executives & investors!

there's a principle in life / business / markets called "risk". let's review:

Option A) lets think for a moment if global warming isn't real. ---no different than what we've known. we're OK!

Option B) now lets think for a moment that it is real (as no one knows for sure!): ---we're not screwed, but your children are, and your children's children will hate you for the world they inherit.

so, given that option B is a possibility (and if you refuse to acknowledge it, then your dogmatic and closed-minded and anti-intellectual, so please don't bother me), then you as a rational party should attempt to mitigate that risk.

burying your head in the sand and denying the possibility of Option B is not mitigating risk. its courting it. and if you're ok about courting risk, do feel free to let your homeowners' insurance and life insurance lapse, as statistically speaking there's virtually no chance that you'll be a victim of such adverse circumstances.

The fact that climate has changed on its own in the past does not refute claims that recent climate change is human-induced.

There are better arguments to be made against the claim that humans are the cause of global warming.

I am not yet convinced either way.
