And while experts and scientists will constantly remind you that it's impossible to say, with certainty, that a specific storm is the result of climate change, we can be sure about two things: Namely, downpours in the Northeastern U.S. are getting worse as the climate warms, and New York City's infrastructure wasn't built with that fact in mind.
