More than eight billion dollars of the damage caused by Hurricane Sandy along the US northeast coast in 2012 can be blamed exclusively on manmade climate change, according a study released Tuesday.
Sea level rise caused by global warming was also responsible for an additional 36,000 homes being flooded, researchers reported in the journal Nature Communications.
The findings are the first to tease out the dollar value of devastation from the superstorm attributable just to climate change, the authors said, adding that the methods developed can be applied more widely to other cyclones and storm surges.

Research to be published tomorrow in the journal Nature Communications is the first study to quantify the costs of storm damage caused by sea level rise driven specifically by human-induced climate change.

Researchers from Stevens Institute of Technology, Climate Central, Rutgers University and other institutions found this self-inflicted damage to be $8.1 billion of Hurricane Sandy’s damage and an additional 71,000 people and 36,000 homes exposed to Sandy’s flooding.
