Hurricane thoughts update

I haven't looked back at the last post from Katrina, but think I said that the disaster was a once in a hundred years, so shouldnt happen for about the next ten years [increased rate due to global warming].
I was reading why these hurricanes happen, and apparently it's due to the water temperature in the Gulf.
Higher temperatures in the water [ a hurricane requires a temperature of 26C i read] basically mean that the vapour pressure is raised and requires less energy to evaporate the water which is the basic motor for these beasties .
Vapour pressure is NOT a linear function of temperature and a small increment in temperature creates a disproportionate increase in the water's vapour pressure, thus a temperature of 30C would give rise to a much higher destructive force than if it was 26C.
Thus if global warming is happening - and the evidence strongly supports this, then the next time that New Orleans is flooded will be in the next 2 years - look at the temperatures in the UK- its something like 5+ of the highest temperatures recorded have been in the last 10 years. [ this is the prelude to the UK freezing believe it or not- I know it sounds daft but the Gulf stream has not yet been stopped ].
If this is correct then the Kyoto agreement is a waste of time , and something more drastic is urgently needed - its already too late to save bits of Louisiana and Texas. Mr Bush , can you now turn your head to save New York ?

From reports Ive seen in the papers [The Times- not a rag that tends to lie], papers via the government published in the States about Global warming have been consistently doctored to give the impression that it is a phenomenum that *may* or may not be happening- words like 'is' have been changed to 'maybr' and so forth .
