The new study, which joins a growing body of broader attribution science, aims to quantify the cost of inaction and business as usual. Sandy will be remembered as the widest tropical cyclone on record in the Atlantic, its tropical-storm-force winds at one point expanding outward up to 820 miles from one side of the storm to another. Jason Samenow contributed to this report. In other words, scientists can often re-create an event and determine what aspects of it and its subsequent impact were caused or made worse by climate change. Sandy killed 147 people, 72 in the eastern United States, according to the National Hurricane Center.
The study takes into account previous attacks.
