The title of this article is "Climate Change And Hurricane Sandy: How Global Warming Might Have Made The Superstorm Worse." I'm not going to even pretend to me a meteorologist or an expert on global change but that is a ridiculous article if you ask me. Has it really not been commonly accepted STILL that the climate is changing?
According to the Environment Protection Agency, "the evidence is clear." Taken directly from their website, "Many places have seen changes in rainfall, resulting in more floods, droughts, or intense rain, as well as more frequent and severe heat waves." I am a journalist so I have been staying up-to-date on Hurricane Sandy and I surprisingly haven't seen all that many articles about how global change had an effect in this superstorm.
Best quote from the article though: "If this were a criminal case, detectives would be treating global warming as a likely accomplice in the crime."
