Steven Grossman's op-ed ("Hurricane Irene: an almighty wind? Sept. 1) should be savored, but, of course, Hurricane Irene did carry a message. That message is conveyed most clearly if it is combined with the evidence carried by other phenomena such as recent wildfires in Texas, the flooding of much of Pakistan, drought in the American Southwest, drought in Russia leading to a rise in food prices worldwide, melting glaciers, the disappearance of the Arctic ice cover, and record worldwide heat rising decade by decade.
Pick the deity you prefer as the author of the message, but it is very clear: Stop overloading the atmosphere with greenhouse gases!
