      Well, I think Business Week is grasping at straws like Newsweek, and with about the same degree of likely return. And I think Bloomberg's endorsement entirely predictable. He has little to lose in an overwhelmingly Democratic city in an overwhelmingly Democratic state beset by Sandy, esp as he has made a lot of enemies banning things. New York may be able to look forward to a new identity as the New Orleans of the North - if DC doesn't beat them to it - but to conclude it is due to man-made global warming is premature if not, as it sounded here, paranoid. For one thing, global temperatures which began rising in 1980 stopped rising 15 years ago. A well-known climate scientist recently testified before Congress that in fact average high temperatures have dropped significantly since the 1930s, with averages running at about half of those recorded back then, and that there's no discernible trend toward excessive drought conditions when compared to data going back to the year 1900. Climate change investigators have increasingly looked for cycles. One early global warming proponent who received a medal from Al Gore, hypothesized a dozen years ago a 1800-year tidal cycle, with temperatures bottoming out last in the 15th c. Tho there's been no recent measurable increase in tides. (See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Current_sea_level_rise) But it hasn't stopped the doomsayers. The Obama admin has a backlog of dozens of very expensive EPA regulations based on the global warming it has been afraid to release before the election due to the price tag.
