Scientists Warn of Record-Breaking East Coast “Superstorm”
Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reports on a new scientific warning that the largest nor’easter in recorded history may strike the U.S. East Coast. The storm could cause unprecedented destruction in New York City and Long Island, with global warming and the rising contrast between sea and land temperatures cited as key drivers. McIntyre references Hurricane Sandy as a benchmark, noting that scientists now expect something even worse to occur as climate patterns intensify.
