In perusing the lastest news about Hurricane Sandy I've come across several articles that connect this "Frankenstorm" to climate change. In particular scientists predict that Atlantic storms will intensify due to warming oceans. It reminded of the swift melting of Himalyian ice because in 2007 the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change estimated that at the current rate of climate change this body of ice will be gone by 2035. This overflow of water contributed to rising sea levels and salination of fresh ground in Bangladesh (Climate Refugees. Argos Collectif). It's amazing how this natural phenomenon alters the water on our planet.
