Was Hurricane Sandy made worse by global warming? It is more controversial then we’d think. Sure, the Hurricane was one of the worst in the 20th century. When we try to determine whether or not the Hurricane Sandy was intensified by global warming, we have to analyze and understand the how it was created. Many scientists blamed global warming and many others said the opposite.

Since the hurricane was a meeting point of tropical warm waves and cold waves, it is conceivable to say that global warming is a reason for warmer waves, which indicates the rise of the tides and the destructive energy held by them. Sea level is an important factor where it has risen in the past few years. On the other hand, some scientists have proven that global warming might alter atmospheric conditions so that future hurricanes may be pushed away from the East Coast.

From my perspective, Hurricane Sandy might’ve been affected by global warming, but we also could say that future hurricanes would be less severe by the effects of global warming.
