But you have to love the irony: God sees all the wickedness in the world, to the point that He decides to destroy it all (even the animals! ), but notices this one perfect individual. Noah. Saves him and his family (and some of the animals! ). Then what's the first thing this "perfect" man does when the flood is done? Gets drunk and lounges naked in his tent. Then he curses the son who has the bad luck of finding him in that state. And here we go again! I can imagine God smacking His forehead about then.
Well, at least He made a covenant with mankind. No more destroying the world! (By flood! )

Yeah, and we have His bow to remind us of that covenant. That was so sweet of Him. Every time we see a rainbow in the sky, we should thank Him for promising not to kill us all! (With a flood. Cuz another world-wide flood, oh man, that would be horrible! I mean, just imagine -- the panic, the screams, the despair. Once is enough!)

BTW, does that covenant have some bearing on the question of global vs regional? I mean, would it make any sense for God to promise not to use a regional flood ever again to destroy mankind?
