    Question Do you still doubt climate change?

    Meghan McCain to GOP after Sandy: Do you still doubt climate change?


    Political analyst Meghan McCain, daughter of Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), is challenging widespread GOP skepticism about climate change in the wake of Hurricane Sandy.

    So are we still going to go with climate change not being real fellow republicans (sic)?” McCain wrote, via Twitter, around midnight as the storm was slamming ashore.

    McCain’s father has advocated for curbing greenhouse gas emissions and co-sponsored cap-and-trade bills several years ago.

    However, substantial numbers of Republicans now dispute widely held scientific views about global warming and the extent of humans’ contribution.

    Sandy's impact has been so severe over such a wide area that it is difficult to adequately document the event. I'll start with some of the major cities that set all-time low pressure records during Sandy, with the new record followed by the old record and date of occurrence (thanks go to wunderground weather historian Christopher C. Burt for putting this list together):

    Atlantic City, NJ: 28.01"/948mb 28.37"/961mb 3/6/1932

    Philadelphia, PA: 28.23"/956mb 28.43"/963mb 3/13/1993

    Harrisburg, PA: 28.46"/964mb 28.62"/969mb 1/3/1913

    Scranton, PA: 28.69"/971mb 28.72"/973mb 2/25/1965

    Trenton, NJ: 28.31"/958mb 28.43"/963mb 3/13/1993

    Baltimore, MD: 28.49"/965mb 28.68"/971mb 3/3/1932

    Harrisburg, PA: 28.46"/964mb 28.62"/969mb 1/3/1913

    Cities that came close to setting their all-time low pressure record:

    Newark, NJ: 28.51"/965mb 28.45"/963 3/13/1993

    New York, NY: 28.53"/966mb 28.38"/961mb 3/1/1914

    Washington D.C. 28.63"/969mb 28.54/966mb 3/13/1993

    Lynchburg, VA: 29.12"/986mb 28.84"/977mb 3/6/1932

    Elkins, WV: 29.22"/989mb 28.85"/977mb 2/25/1965

    Could the East Coast get hit by another punch Election Day?...

    Round 2? Forecasters predict nor'easter may hit East Coast election day
    November 01, 2012 WASHINGTON – Another messy -- and wintry -- storm may cause post-Election Day problems for an already weather-weary East Coast, forecasters say.
    But meteorologists add that it's six days out, so that's rather early to get too worried. The forecast could change before it hits late next week. The National Weather Service's forecast center in College Park, Maryland, which watches winter storms, put out a long-range notice Thursday saying a nor'easter was possible for mid-Atlantic and New England states by Election Day through next Thursday.

    Forecaster Bruce Sullivan said it wouldn't be as bad as Superstorm Sandy and isn't tropical. But it could include snow in interior New England and New York, beach erosion and high winds for areas hit by Sandy and moderate or heavier rainfall. Winds could be about 30 mph to 40 mph. "I wouldn't get too alarmed yet," Sullivan said. "But it's something we're going to be watching over the next few days and fine-tuning. Anything that could hamper clean-up efforts is something that could be watched."

    The same European computer model that first noticed and correctly called Superstorm Sandy a week in advance has forecast this potential nor'easter to come along the East Coast and then hit, Sullivan said. Another computer model also said the same thing, but then lessened that chance, he said. Unlike Sandy, this doesn't have a tropical component. This would be a normal wet storm coming through land in the Southeast U.S. and going into the water, combining with cold air coming south from the Great Lakes and then curving back into the mid-Atlantic, Sullivan said.

    The same high pressure system that blocked then-Hurricane Sandy from heading north and east out to sea like most tropical systems is likely to be part of the steering system that would take this storm inland to the same area Sandy struck, said Jeff Masters, meteorology director for the private service Weather Underground. The fact that it's six days out means "there's room for optimism," Masters said, but he added: "From what I'm Iooking at, there's a concern."
