Hurricane Sandy: Is it Evidence of Global Warming? :: <div class="field field-name-field-images field-type-entityreference field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"> </div></div></div><div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p>As the biggest tropical storm ever recorded in the Atlantic barrels along increasing stretches of the East Coast, some people can't help but wonder: Is the "Frankenstorm" simply a bizarre but perfectly natural occurrence?
