They said Greenland would start melting and it has. Does not mean it is caused by man, but it is happening.
Last year I lost my house in NY to perhaps the worst hurricane in a very long time. Wish they had told me that was coming.
Sorry for your loss, but according to wikipedia Sandy made landfall near Brigantine, New Jersey,[33] with winds of 80 mph (130 km/h). It was a weak Cat 1 at landfall.
Now according to Joe Bastardi, when you have a cold Pacific and a warm Atlantic, which we have, historically you get hurricanes traveling up the east coast. So it could happen again this summer. Did you abandon the property or are you rebuilding ?
Do you have any evidence other than what "they" said and you do know that the Greenland ice sheet does melt to some extent every summer? Greenland derives its name from the fact that around 900 AD the coastal areas really were green and capable of supporting Norse communities of farmers. So a melt off would not be unprecedented but satellite polar ice surveys and reports the national media ignore indicate that winter sea ice reached record levels this year. And the global climate for about the last fifteen years has stabilized or gotten colder. That collates nicely with the past few decades trend in decreased solar activity. There was a post about that here a couple days ago.
Hurricane numbers and intensity overall have been low in comparison with several periods in the last hundred years. Katrina and Sandy bracketed a ten year lull. I am sorry that doesn't provide any comfort to you over the loss of your house but those are the facts.
Rename “New York”, “New Venice”.
69% of the planet is covered in oceans, how much ice melt do you think it would take for them to rise the 2 to 3 meters (6 1/2 ft to 9 1/2 ft) that they are predicting and where is it going to come from?
It's not going to come from North America, there is none right now. It's not going to come from Central and South America since any snow S.A. receives is in the mountains and it's mostly seasonal.
It's unlikely to come from the Antarcic, which is basically a floating giant iceberg and their average annual temperature is approx. 57 degrees below zero.
