Scientists Katharine Hayhoe, William Anderegg, and Michael Mann discuss the changes in agriculture, water and energy due to climate change. Michael Mann points out that 2012 been a clear glimpse of what to expect if changes aren't made. "We saw a record storm, a hybrid storm, Hurricane Sandy, which broke previous records for flooding in New York City. And there was certainly a climate change component in the sense that of that 13-foot coastal surge along the mid-Atlantic Coast along the New Jersey Coast and at New York City, at least one foot of that was global sea level rise," says Mann.
