No, Wait — It Was the Governor of Mississippi Who Caused Katrina

I didn't mean to be picking on Germans in the post below. It's not like we don't have our own share of kooks. A diatribe by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on The Huffington Post will give an idea of how far out they can go. Here's a sample:
As Hurricane Katrina dismantles Mississippi's Gulf Coast, it's worth recalling the central role that Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour played in derailing the Kyoto Protocol and kiboshing President Bush's iron-clad campaign promise to regulate CO2.
That's right, according to the environmentalist voodoo in which Kennedy believes, Katrina was caused by a failure to sufficiently regulate CO2 over the last couple of years, coupled with the Senate's wise 95-0 nixing of the absurd Kyoto Protocol. Consequently, Governor Barbour has blood on his hands.
A little more lunacy:
Now we are all learning what it's like to reap the whirlwind of fossil fuel dependence which Barbour and his cronies have encouraged. Our destructive addiction has given us a catastrophic war in the Middle East and — now — Katrina is giving our nation a glimpse of the climate chaos we are bequeathing our children.
If Bobby Jr. and his kooky clique really do believe that the fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan is "all about oil," it might be time for someone to break the news to them about what happened on September 11, 2001.
Kennedy finishes up by suggesting that God deflected the hurricane from New Orleans and aimed it at Mississippi to punish the state for electing Barbour.
Let's see if the Germans can top that for moonbattery.
