The massive damage Superstorm Sandy has caused to New York City and its
infrastructure has not come as a surprise to everyone. We’re joined by
Cynthia Rosenzweig, co-chair of the New York City Panel on Climate
Change, who says the city began looking at the impact of global warming
more than a decade ago. She is the lead author of a 2011 report on the
impact climate change will have in New York state’s "critical structure"
like bridges and sewage systems, as well as public health and
agriculture. A senior research scientist at NASA
Goddard Institute for Space Studies where she heads the Climate Impacts
Group, Rosenzweig’s work with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
Change Task Force on Data was recognized in 2007 with the Nobel Peace
Prize awarded jointly to Al Gore and to the IPCC Task Force.Thursday, November 01, 2012
