Bush does not bear responsibility for Katrina. It is possible that society as a whole does for the last 150 years. The gulf has, I believe, warmed by about two degrees and that does add fuel to the hurricane’s fire.
However, Bush does bear responsibility for rolling back just about every environmental protection that exists. He does bear responsibility for blocking publication of good science that supports the existence of global warming. He bears great responsibility for not doing a damn thing to protect the environment or to reduce global warming. Insomuch as Katrina puts a spotlight on the issue, Bush deserves to be singled out.
