Comment: Fiedler wants to vaguely hang a hurricane (the first hurricane in 11 years) on global warming and 'no zoning laws" (Fiedler didn't do any grunt work by asking herself about New Orleans, zoning law and Katrina). 

Her writing and logic should be put into a wooden case and hung up on the wall of a high school English class as an example of how not to put one's brain and shoulder into one's writing. 

Just schluff it into a paragraph and we'll call it a day's writing.
