Mike,

My first thought, like Kat's, was of "The Day After Tommorrow."  I'm not up
on the meteorology that this could entail, but I like Deri's analogy of a
pot with a lid on it versus an open pot.  As the number of large or violent
storms increases, we'll need to "batten down the hatches," whether the
storms are caused by naturally caused or man caused global warming, or by
some other source.  I've got a cousin who's a geohydrologist, and I'll run
the article by him to see if he has any comments.

An unreasonable man (but my wife says that's redundant!)

The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one
persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress
depends on the unreasonable man.
