Following the destruction wrought by Hurricane Katrina , various conjectures were put forward suggesting that Katrina was not an ordinary natural event, but was instead influenced by human behavior or supernatural forces. ASSERTIONS OF THE INFLUENCE OF GLOBAL WARMING The large amount of destruction caused by recent Atlantic Tropical Cyclone s such as Hurricane Katrina has caused a substantial increase in the public interest in Global Warming and concerns that global climatic change may have played a role in these events. '' Time Magazine '', for example, published an article titled " Is Global Warming Fueling Katrina? " - although the article itself addressed hurricanes in general rather than Hurricane Katrina specifically, and was inconclusive. Former '' Boston Globe '' reporter Ross Gelbspan wrote an editorial shortly after the hurricane titled Katrina's Real Name , declaring that this "real name is global warming." Gelbspan went on to assert: :"Although Katrina began as a relatively small hurricane that glanced off south Florida, it was supercharged with extraordinary intensity by the relatively blistering sea surface temperatures in the Gulf of Mexico." However it is clear that Gelbspan was not singling out Katrina as opposed to other recent storms as being affected by global warming - in his article he goes on to attribute almost every major weather event over the past year to global warming, including a Blizzard in Los Angeles , high winds in Scandinavia , Wildfire s in Spain , and a Drought centered in Missouri . Statements made shortly after the hurricane by Germany's environment minister, Jürgen Trittin , {Link without Title} indicate he believes that global warming is responsible for an increase in the frequency of destructive natural events. Most climatologists today believe that the relationship between climate change and hurricane intensity is unproven, and that the increase in hurricane activity noted over the last 20 years, can be accounted for by factors other than climate change such as the 25-40 year cycle. Recently, , has linked Katrina with global warming {Link without Title} . ASSERTIONS OF THE USE OF WEATHER CONTROL TECHNOLOGY Some individuals have gone beyond the suggestion that human activity had an unintended influence on the weather, and have asserted that a country or hostile organization intentionally used Weather Control technology to intensify and/or direct the path of Hurricane Katrina. The alleged intent was to impact the United States' ability to produce Petroleum and Natural Gas , thereby causing a severe adverse economic impact. Others have claimed that the U.S. government itself used such technology such as HAARP to strengthen and direct Hurricane Katrina, for any number of reasons, including:
