    Just how do you adapt when you realize your 10-story condo building needs to be on a ground a couple of feet higher?

    One person leaving home because of a change in climate is not a tragedy. 123 million of them (39 percent of the American population) just might be.

    And nine years ago the Global Warming community was sure we'd be having Katrina-like hurricanes all the time, too. How'd that prediction work out?

    The Big One will lay either Los Angeles or San Francisco to rubble before high sea levels swamp Miami Beach.

    Shouldn't be tough.

    Cite for contention that "the Global Warming community was sure we'd be having Katrina-like hurricanes all the time"?

    That certainly poses the question whether the hurricanes we do have are worse than they were because of global warming. It doesn't address frequency, though. Nor does it contend, at least in the headline, that we would be having "Katrina-like" hurricanes - it just questions whether hurricanes, in general, might be "worse."

    Cite to the portion of the story in which "the Global Warming community was sure we'd be having Katrina-like hurricanes all the time"?
