So the scaremongers tell us.
But someone please tell me what caused these natural disasters below? If any of these disasters happened now I could bet my life that Rudd would mention them in parliament and say we need to do something now (ETS) or they will happen more and more.
Could it just be that maybe, just maybe, natural disasters have happened for millions of years and will happen for millions more, ETS or not??
Al 'The Snake' Gore of course wants people to believe more "Katrina's" will happen.
