Could we please not have the Global Warming political discussion here?

This discussion has been a mix of the disaster and science. I was discussing a point about the science and not politics. A clear understanding of the science is critical for making informed political decisions and hopefully avoiding or mitigating future tragedies. I apologize if the place and timing of making this point offended anyone.

There really are no adequate words for the ongoing unfolding human tragedy. My uncle lived in the city and evacuated Sunday to a hotel in Memphis. He thought he could return in a week or two. It hasn't sunk in for any of us yet that it may be months before he can possibly return and start to pick up whatever pieces remain.
