H. Sandy IS NOT "Global Warming"
I can't believe so many of the commenters here who try to conflate a weather event with climate change. THEY ARE NOT THE SAME THING! Climate is the long-term average weather of an area. H. Sandy was a WEATHER event, a storm, and not even unprecedented at that. Of course the high tides were a problem - a full moon near Perigee means higher tides, and the storm surge was simply added to that.
