Global warming and major superstorms might well be working against one another. With the climate changing scientists have begun to change their predictions for how hurricanes and tropical storms might affect the northeast United States in coming years. With conditions changing due to atmospheric and oceanic elevated temperatures throughout the region, storms like the infamous "Superstorm Sandy" likely will become even more of a rarity than it was to begin with. Ironically scientists that claim such a theory also account for the storms that will occur as being far more powerful than in the past, but will likely be deflected off into the mid-atlantic rather than make landfall again.
