Politico: Scientists have long predicted that one of the consequences of climate change will be more frequent and more severe storms.

Taking just my home state as an example, New Jersey's 127 miles of sandy beaches contribute...

On Monday, Gallup released recent survey data showing that 42 percent of Americans polled believe news outlets exaggerate the seriousness of climate change.
