A Muddle headed Earth worshipper?

James Wolcott writes here.

I root for hurricanes. When, courtesy of the Weather Channel, I see one forming in the ocean off the coast of Africa, I find myself longing for it to become big and strong--Mother Nature's fist of fury, Gaia's stern rebuke. Considering the havoc mankind has wreaked upon nature with deforesting, stripmining, and the destruction of animal habitat, it only seems fair that nature get some of its own back and teach us that there are forces greater than our own.
It would seem that for some people such as Wolcott the death of humans and the destruction of people's lives is something to revel in. Someday Wolcott will discover that there is indeed a "force greater than our own." To stand before God with a cold-heart toward the suffering of helpless and innocent human beings ............ YIKES! (Remember people can only live in the world they have and the people of Alabama and West Florida did not create the technology that they must use that contributes to global warming or enviornmental toxins.)

I guess Wolcott was estatic when the tsunami his south Asia.
