Re: Sandy and BCP

[Rich Kulawiec <rsk () gsp org>]

Yes, unfortunately, some of the inferior primates simply don't grasp
AGW - or don't wish to, since it would be politically inconvenient or
not in keeping with their laughably primitive superstitions.

To those of us who actually read (gasp!) papers about climate, Sandy
isn't a surprise; the probability of such an event has been steadily
increasing, to the point when it was only a matter of where and when,
not if.

As an example of this in a nontechnical forum, Dr. Jeff Masters
(Weather Underground) predicted something like Sandy -- rather accurately,
as it turns out -- in a TED talk a year ago:

        http://blog.ted.com/2012/11/02/one-year-ago-predicting-hurricane-sandys-devastating-effects/

In that talk, he talks about nine "unthinkable" weather disasters that
could hit the US in the next thirty years.  As the text at that link
observes, number six just happened.
