Definitely, "Neths" spread their engineering across many continents. However, their engineering practices are now considered a prime reason behind the environment catastrophe that many cities like New Orleans are facing.
They are not. The prima reason that many cities like N. O. are failing is poor engineering practices. Dutch companies even offered free consulting after Katrina, which was refused by the Americans. Now, many poorer places cannot afford the measures that are taken in the Netherlands (if you ever live in Amsterdam and are annoyed with your watership bill, be happy that it is used to fund your continued dry feet!). Americans however seem to not want to pay for it, and seem to not want to understand what sustainable watermanagement and new land develooment is like.
Hurricanes are bad, but they don't need to be Katrina-bad.

Engineering solutions rarely cause climate change. I'll grant you that enough concrete pouring might be nasty but I doubt a very small country in Europe, next door to Germany is responsible for all of it.
