Was Climate Change Responsible for Hurricane Sandy?

Atmospheric scientist and Columbia University professor Adam Sobel discusses whether Hurricane Sandy was a freak event or a harbinger of things to come, if climate change was responsible for the storm, and why we were not prepared for this unprecedented "Superstorm." Sobol's new book is Storm Surge: Hurricane Sandy, Our Changing Climate, and Extreme Weather of the Past and Future.
