Hurricane Sandy Debris Messages in NYC
Greenpeace activists create messages with debris left behind by Hurricane Sandy. The messages call attention to the correlation between the massive destruction of the unusual late season tropical storm and global warming in a year of extreme weather events. Hurricane Sandy is an example of the extreme weather symptomatic of continued climate change, as storms continue to become more frequent and more severe. Storms like Hurricane Sandy will increasingly compromise our safety and economic security if governments don’t address emissions and climate policy.
