“If this makes the climate loonies in the States realize we’ve got a problem, some good will come out of a truly awful situation,” Lawton said.
Maybe, just maybe, hitting some of Bush’s Houston oil buddies, Rita will force more of them to be more vocal in their concerns about global warming.
Most the principals of Big Oil already give at least lip service to the issue; ExxonMobil is the only holdout, but what would you expect?
Now, if there were really a God and justice, Rita would wipe out anything Halliburton-related in Houston.
