Yes, An Inconvenient Truth talks about Hurricane Katrina but it doesn't say that global warning caused Katrina.
I'm talking about the perception often put forth by the media. I haven't seen An Inconvenient Truth, but for what purpose would the massive hurricane on the poster be there for? It is designed to give the perception that global warming is causing killer hurricanes. This is the perception I was talking about. It isn't the case that global warming is causing killer hurricanes, but it would seem like there is a goal to make the perception to be such.
