The real thing

Over the last few years there have been a number of disaster films about floods, volcanoes, earthquakes, asteroid impacts and more. There has not been a film about a very real disaster that many have predicted, the destruction of the City of New Orleans. We discussed it here yesterday and I have some additional details over at Running Scared this morning. Like peak oil and global warming the inevitable destruction of New Orleans has been ignored. As the nation attempts to figure out how to relocate one half million people perhaps we should start thinking about peak oil and global warming as well.
