I would posit that just because the reason isn't obvious or understood does not mean it doesn't exist. As an analogy, reference the Kissimme(sp?) river in Florida. Engineers knew that it twisted and turned, but could see no reason behind it. So, in their ignorance, they tried to straighten it, only to find that they had inadvertently poisoned the everglades by removing the bends in the river. Again, it goes back to what I keep saying about arrogance and a lack of understanding.-What is worse is the abortion created by the Corps of Engineers in putting in levees and constructing canals for ships to go directly to the Gulf in Louisiana. The delta is shrinking and the tidelands are disappearing. Part of the effect of Katrina was loss of protective coast around New Orleans. The rule is simple: you can never fool Mother Nature.
