"Is Climate Change To Blame For The Northeast Snow Storm?"

"Some forecasters have projected a record snowstorm for the Northeast in the coming hours, which isn't exactly the sort of thing that makes people think about global warming.

But in declaring a state of emergency on Monday, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) noted that this type of monster storm is 'part of the changing climate.'

'I've only been governor four years. I believe I've gone through more emergency disasters in four years than any governor in history has gone through,' said Cuomo. 'There is a pattern of extreme weather that we have never seen before.'"

Kate Sheppard reports for the Huffington Post January 26, 2015.
