President Bush, in his post-Hurricane Katrina address to the nation, said, 'And to the extent that the federal government didn't fully do its job right, I take responsibility.' Accepting blame for the federal response is one thing, but I hope he doesn't shoulder blame for the hurricane itself. In a Sept. 9 speech to the National Sierra Club Convention in San Francisco, former Vice President Al Gore said Hurricane Katrina and global warming are related: 'We will face a string of terrible catastrophes unless we act to prepare ourselves and deal with the underlying causes of global warming.' Our European allies, most of whom have signed the Kyoto Protocol, have made scathing attacks on President Bush. 'Katrina should be a lesson to the U.S. on global warming,' read a headline of the German magazine Der Spiegel. Jurgen Tritten, Germany's environment minister and a Green Party member, said, 'The American president is closing his eyes to the economic and human costs his land and the world economy are suffering under natural catastrophes like Katrina.'
