correct me if I am wrong, but isn't this forecast worse than before, as far as the US is concerned? that way it would crash into the yucatan, but now it seems that it will just scrape it a little.

Well, almost every model right now has it striking the Everglades. All things considered, that's the best possible landfall, since very few people live there.
The storm is projected to move so fast that there likely won't be much of a storm surge, as the water won't have time to pile up.
And regardless of everything else, it will be over quick. Quick, of course, is relative.

Officially, Katrina was a Cat 4, though new data seems to indicate it was actually a Cat 3.
Why do they know its route in advance so exactly. I mean, why would it not head for the gulf this time?

It's funny in a way that you know so much about hurricane formation and such...
I guess it comes with living in such places...Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...Comment

This site (http://www.thestormtrack.com/) has an interesting idea on why hurricanes occure more oftenly and appear to be stronger.
In the end the conclusion is that global warming is caused by a better environment. It says that the ashes polluted the sky for decenia, so the sun couldn't heat the earth and the oceans as it used to be heated before. But now we use nuclear energy more then before and less coal energy, the globe is getting brighter again, and hotter for that reason.
Perhaps we should strart poluting the earth again, to prevent global warming

There are so many theories, one says that global warming is actually a good thing, since we're running right into the next ice age anyway.Originally posted by CyberShy

Well, there are some people that come up with solutions :

First he tried giant whisks. Now he is proposing a fleet of yachts that sprays water droplets into the clouds as the way to damp down global warming. The droplets, says engineer Stephen Salter of the University of Edinburgh, UK, will boost the whiteness of low-altitude clouds so that they reflect more sunlight back into space.
In a paper presented at a climate-change conference in Edinburgh last week, Salter says that chimneys mounted on a fleet of 500 £1 million sprayer yachts would cancel a year's worth of global warming from carbon dioxide emissions over their 20-year lifetime.
Instead of sails, the yachts will be propelled by spinning vertical cylinders known as Flettner rotors. The rotors, which were used to successfully cross the Atlantic in the 1920s, will double as chimneys for the water droplets. As the remotely controlled vessels move through the water, the motion will drive propeller-shaped turbines that will generate electricity to power the water sprayers. The form the sprayers will take has yet to be decided, but Salter is investigating the use of a centrifuge or ultrasonic atomiser, like the nebulisers used for dispensing asthma drugs.
The idea builds on a system proposed by Salter three years ago for rainmaking whisk-shaped wind turbines (New Scientist, 25 May 2002, p 20).
Though water vapour can itself cause greenhouse warming, Salter is aiming for an evaporation rate of 90 cubic metres per second, compared to a natural global rate of 12 million cubic metres per second.
