Hurricane Sandy grew over days to become a monster of a storm when it finally hit the East Coast. Climate scientists note that global warming likely contributed to the making of this “Frankenstorm.”
Sandy hit the Eastern U.S. with a powerful punch. The superstorm lashed the coast, flooded whole towns, left millions without power, and dropped snow on towns from Ohio to Tennessee. Host Steve Curwood discusses how climate change contributed to the storm’s power with Kevin Trenberth, senior scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research.
