Thus the Financial Times today. “Longest US stockmarket closure since 9/11 attacks,” the newspaper points out. The way Hurricane Sandy is going, it may well close Wall Street for yet another day or two. In fact, the predicted path of the storm circles the vaunted stockmarket. What is especially interesting about the article is that it does not even mention in passing the plausible connection between the freak storm and human behavior. It is the stockmarkets of this world that are squarely behind the freak weather, though. Although science is still shaky concerning the connection between human behavior and climate change, there can be little doubt about it at this stage. Science will catch up sooner or later, but the insatiable hunger for growth, growth, and nothing but growth is the most likely cause of all sorts of weather disasters in the world. It is thus a pity Hurricane Sandy did not head straight for Wall Street. In the event, the mysterious connection between the freak storm and human behavior would perhaps cross a few lazy minds.
