It is impossible to say whether global warming did or did not contribute to the strength of Hurricane Katrina. Hurricanes of that strength have been hitting the Gulf Coast far longer than humans have been there to witness them. However, the effects of Katrina on New Orleans and other areas were worse than they could have been due to environmental issues such as destruction of wetlands on the Mississippi Delta, and obviously with some of the factors that lead to New Orleans being below sea level with Lake Ponchartrain on the other side of it.

No, global warming is influencing the climate. It has nothing to do with earthquakes which are due to the movement of the earth's tectonic plates.
