Is there scientific proof that this supposed global warming caused Sandy to hit an area that should have known the risk?

I'd be willing to bet that there are way too many other variables involved for anyone to try to pin the two together. Sandy wasn't that big a storm, it just hit an area that didn't believe it would be hit by a storm of Sandy's middle of the road magnitude.

I am not a global warming disbeliever, I just am not a believer. The climate has cycled over history many times. That might mitigate against the globsl warming theory. But, at the same time it is a proven fact that certain gases let direct sunlight in, but tend to block the re-radiation back toward space. The question, then, is whether the amount of those gases humans are responsible for producing have a measurable effect on the overall climate. There are scientists who believe the answer is yes, while others say no.

What I don't understand is this: Why is the US putting itself at such a competitive disadvantage with the rest of the world by all these onerous regulations that drive up the price of our products while the rest of the world ignores them and produces those same goods at a much reduced price? Shouldn't our efforts and money be spent on a worldwide basis vice nation-centric? Its kind of like trying to make our clothes a pristeen white while we engage in a mud fight with the rest of the world.
