What happens in the Arctic doesn't stay there

Like the proverbial butterfly flapping its wings in South America causing a cyclone here, the heat build up in the Arctic causes chaos far away. Peter Sinclair's Climate Denial Crock of the Week video on superstorm Sandy looks at how Sandy was pushed westwards into the coast by a high probably resulting from last year's record ice melt.


At the same time, an Arctic cyclone formed, weakened and reformed again because of the higher than average water temperatures in the Arctic, pushing a waves of freezing air down into Europe and another into the US.
