and if I recall, one of the posters for An Inconvenient Truth had a gigantic hurricane on it.
Yes, An Inconvenient Truth talks about Hurricane Katrina but it doesn't say that global warning caused Katrina. It uses Katrina as an example of what we can expect to see more of if the predictions for global warming effects are accurate.

Presumably you'll agree (or accept the voluminous scientific evidence) that warmer surface water temperatures increase the strength of hurricanes and that Katrina was strengthened by the high temperatures in the Gulf of Mexico last year (don't worry, I'm not asking you to agree that those specific temperatures were caused by global warming)?

So what to expect then, asks the film, if global warming makes those high surface temperatures into the standard condition rather than annual anomolies.
