I wonder that it has not been mentioned so far.

After the cyclone in Birma (Myanmar), a "US diplomat" now is referred to in German media of having said there could be at least 100.000 dead. A member of the army leadership in Birma - you know: those happy guys in their funny parade uniforms who are so busy to serve their interests and take care of themselves - admitted there could be 80.000 killed in one district alone.

This seems to be much more dramatic than the Tsunami.

It's also a look at things to come more frequently in the future, whereas climate sceptics currently try to make a big fuss of the - since years predicted! - paradox effect of global warming eventually causing a 10-20 years long phase of relative minor cooling in certain western hemispheres, after one IPCC scientist and leading head now went to public pointing finger at exactly this temporary effect (that is caused by global warming like the increasing of the ice in one half of the antarctic also is, due to increased moisture levels in the atmosphere, and thus: increased condensation) - the IPCC report did not mention this scenario, although the possibility of this temporary paradox effect is discussed since years. It's not that atmospheric changes go totally linear.

For some countries like Bangladesh, the future does not really look bright. I wonder if a military invasion in Birma would be justified to get rid of the incompetent Junta that excels in just one thing: to hinder and harass international aid wanting to get into the country. By the logic of political arguments of wars in recent years, the survival and the death of so many effected people must be considered a valid argument as well!?
