"I write this article as the United States suffers yet another weather disaster. News anchors are describing Hurricane Sandy as a once-in-a-lifetime event. Climate science suggests it is only the beginning. Shepard Smith the anchor for Fox News described the cause of Hurricane Sandy as “warmer than normal” ocean temperatures. He is right ... The Earth’s average global temperature has risen between 1.5 and 2 degrees Fahrenheit over the past century. Warmer temperatures mean that the atmosphere holds about 4 percent more moisture than it did in 1970." (Quoted from article)
