dharmathroughkarma asked: Hi- a respectful question from the devil's advocate view. Can we isolate climate change as being responsible for each and every storm? Do we know for sure that it is only because of climate change that Hurricane Sandy exists, or that it is much more stronger than it would have been in a world without climate change?
Hey dharmathroughkarma,
Thanks for your question. Actually, it’s more than reasonable to ask how climate change and Hurricane Sandy are related. Here’s a brief roundup of how climate affects hurricanes:
- Did climate change create Hurricane Sandy? - Climate Progress
- Hurricane Sandy as ‘super storm’: Is climate change a factor? - LA Times
- Frankenstorm: Has Climate Change Created A Monster? - NPR
I’ll post some more throughout the day. Bottom line is storms are stronger, like an athlete on steroids.
Cheers!
