Global warming systemically caused Hurricane Sandy: Scientists - NewsX

Hurricane Sandy has been perceived, at least to some extent, as a climate change-related catastrophe. Scientists say the super storm had many effects of global warming... though they say the real uniqueness was collision of Sandy with another storm system. Scientists agree that global warming has added more moisture to the atmosphere... resulting in more precipitation. Also, global warming is responsible for raising the sea level which means a hurricane like Sandy can penetrate further inland. Third, a warmer temperature of the sea caused by climate allowed the storm to be stronger for longer than it might have been otherwise. And fourthly, the sheer size of the storm may have been propped up by the global warming phenomenon.
