Reuters : The torrential rain that the NorthEast of the United States has experienced has raised questions in the public over whether the extreme weather was caused by global warming. Jason Szep reports that the Atlantic is warming faster than scientists projected even a decade ago. Storms such as the one seen this week from Virginia to New York will become more common. The Insurance Information Institute says that Northeast looked “woefully unprepared” to the risk of floods.
