While Mental is trying to stop the meme, I'm not sure that saying global warming has nothing to do with Katrina is correct. Of course, you can not draw a one-to-one conclusion between global warming and a specific event like Katrina. But, we can look at statistical trends. There is an article on Real Climate showing some of the research connecting the two. Global warming is unlikely to be a direct cause of Katrina; that doesn't mean we shouldn't use Katrina as motivation to change our habits.
