On Wednesday's NBC Today, correspondent Keir Simmons reported
from the European Weather Center in Britain that projected Hurricane
Sandy's path and touted how "Global warming could make their work more important than ever."
The center's Professor Alan Thorpe explained: "If it turned out to be
the case that such storms became more common, then our weather
forecasting models need to factor that in." [Listen to the audio or watch the video after the jump]
Simmons then cited Democratic New York Governor Andrew Cuomo to bolster
the point: "Already the scientists are planning more research to help
them, and all of us, plan for the future. Because if it's true,
as New York's governor says, that we are now dealing with extreme
weather patterns in a way we haven't seen, then centers like the one
you've just seen are more important than ever."
