It is difficult to blame any one weather event on climate change. However, many experts have now said that Hurricane Sandy was certainly influenced by global warming. Predictions of the effects of climate change include storms and cyclones becoming more frequent and more severe.

Hurricane Sandy came from a merging of several things; a storm beginning in the warmed waters of the ocean, a funneling of cold air from the Arctic that pushed it onto the coast, and a high tide that coincided with the storm swell.

See the link below for a report.

A:All weather patterns on Earth and the result of changes in the climate that take place CONSTANTLY. To say that Hurricane Sandy was caused by "global warming" is like saying that Ice Cream is made by freezing milk. There are lots of factors involved before any assumption can be drawn. Global Warming, as the media would have us believe, will be the undoing of mankind when in all truth the Earth has been warming since the last Ice Age several hundred thousand of years ago.

Every weather pattern is influenced by global warming OR cooling.
