You forget Katrina affected me as well. I wasn't in Germany then
I was in GA granted we didn't feel the burnt of the storm at all.
We felt gas hit 8 bucks a gallon which for America is cripping. We even got a day off of school, and it was an unusal hurriance to say the least. Hurriances have started to happen earlier then they are supposed too. Winters, and Summers are more unpredictable. My Great Grandma even says this she said as a younger child each winter, and each summe rwas pretty much the same. You may have ra slightly harder one then last or a slightly warmer one then the last. The summers stayed constant. We never had huge problems, however in the past few years the winters have become milder some years and harsh in others. She said in her 84 years of living on this world shes NEVER EVER seen snowfall in march like we had this year. She said shes seen it here and there a few flakes in march, or snow from febuarary melting but not blizzard level snow storms. Our heaviest snow fall this year WAS IN MARCH! Which is not normal.
And i'm not no greenpeace hippie, I enjoy my meat, and I enjoy my cars. But we doo need to come to the relazation that global warming is a problem. Trust you won't see me at a PETA protesting aganist KFC they got good chicken.
And you can't conclude just because my current residence resides in Germany that I have no knownledge of America. In fact my knownledge of america is far greater then that of Germany, what i know of germany is mostly about WW2 and stories from my great grandma. I lived in America for 7 years, I have plently of experience in America, and I would watch the news al lthe time and months before hurriance season you'd have STORMS! that weren't supposed to happen.
