    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

    1. Nobody believes that the climate doesn't change. The question is what are the causes of that change.
    2. A hurricane is a weather event. Weather is not climate.
