Hurricane Sandy - Are Humans To Blame?

The inference is as a result of climate change.  But that view is too simplistic.  Climate change is like weighting the dice.  The attributes of climate change make more intense storms more likely.  We'll never be able to say with certainty that a pair of dice weighted slightly for sixes, was the sole cause of throwing sixes on a single throw. One might have thrown sixes on that throw even if the dice were fair.  But compared with fair dice, repeated numbers of throws of weighted dice will have more sixes.
