From the Air Vent noconsensus.wordpress.com/And the comment I had to add: In the beginning their were civil engineers. To pay for an education they sold themselves to draw topographical maps. Then came along the Corp of engineers, they ponited to lines on the map and said this is how bad it can get. Then came the government saying you need flood insurance. Then came the local politician that said I have never seen it that bad. For fear of being run out of the country the government said let there be a 100 and 500 year flood plain knowing full well that they were only for 10/50 year floods. Life was good for 50 years. Then came the floods. The green left then said this must be man’s fault. Afraid of being blamed for the fiasco, the government said “let it be AGW” In dedication to the first real climate blog I read, someone was complaining about having to get a real job in flood plain managemnent.

The military saying was that "mechanical engineers make weapon systems - civil engineers build targets"
