More money should have been spent preventing it a long time ago, but it wasn't. There should have been more resources for more rapid response.
I'm not sure whether Global Warming had any effect on this, but there are signs all over that Global Warming is a fact and that something needs to be done now, should have been done already, but Bush won't sign Kyoto, so we are the only industrialized nation in the world not too. Plus he won't make businesses cut emissions, instead he makes it voluntary and of course they aren't going to do it unless they are forced to.
