While Superstorm Sandy wreaked unprecedented havoc on some of the densest population centers in the United States, a parallel storm of social media activity was taking place online. Millions tweeted, instagrammed and posted their thoughts, concerns and pictures to Facebook.

Sandy's other important media impact was to bring climate change back to the forefront of public discussion. While climate received scant attention in the political campaigns of this year, it was almost immediately after the storm hit New York City that Mayor Bloomberg endorsed President Obama, citing climate change. With Sandy serving as reminder of the urgency of climate change and the power of social media, Social Media Today and The Energy have teamed up to produce a very important webinar.
