13 Nov 2012 - 18 Jan 2016
It's normal for Italy's ""eternal city"" of Venice to flood in winter, but Sunday's 5-foot (1.5-meter) inundation is the sixth highest since record-keeping began in 1872. As was the case with Hurricane Sandy, some scientists have implicated climate change in the dangerous flooding in northern Italy this past weekend. According to Reuters, Italy's environment minister, Corrado Clini, has insisted global warming is responsible.
