Seriously? - when the article states

Quote:

Bloomberg is the chair of the C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group around the world committed to reducing carbon emissions in an effort to slow climate change

Why would he be a chair of a group committed slowing climate change if he didn't believe in it?

Blame the lack of reporting of events in Cuba and Haiti on our media not the American people who're now suffering.

The Climate is for ever changing, what we do about the effects it brings & so called man made emissions are two different things.

Nah,don't you know that Americans must be mocked and made fun of at all times? ;) Always funny to see people's inferiority complex towards the US in full swing.

Let's hope Haiti,Cuba and the US can sort this mess as quickly as possible.

I wouldn't call a hurricane a freak weather system.

There are several every year and have been since records began.

The power and location of the storm is what is a 'freak' occurrence. The east coast doesn't usually experience storms of that size, part of the reason it's so damaging.

Re: [update] Super-storm Sandy devastates US East Coast

ive just come across this.

Quote:

Recent and Future Hurricane Names:

In the Atlantic Ocean, tropical storms that reach a sustained wind speed of 39 miles per hour are given a name, such as "Tropical Storm Fran". If the storm reaches a sustained wind speed of 74 miles per hour it is called a hurricane - such as "Hurricane Fran". So, hurricanes are not given names, tropical storms are given names, and they retain their name if they develop into a hurricane. The names that will be used for recent and future Atlantic storms are listed in the table below.

according to the link/info above it is a hurricane :confused:

It was classed as a hurricane but it didn't have the wind speed (74mph) to maintain the status of hurricane when it made landfall

My bro-in-law's garden in NJ - trees have fallen over and taken out the power lines. No phone or electricity.

The most amazing thing about this entire storm is that New York and other counties, nearly everything is coming back to normal - the subway is 80% back to normal. and they were totally flooded.

Just think in the UK it would take months for services to be back to normal and it been less than a week. I was watching Sky news this morning, and l could not believe that l was watching the same thing.

I don't think its that high, they were only opening a few tunnels today and many are still full of water and also the stations pretty damaged by the salt water.

They are no where near, almost back to normal.

The shark in the garden photo is totally photoshopped! Not realy at all.
