It is huge. Nobody knows exactly what is going to happen but they are saying the real problem with this one is the size of it, the storm surge, rainfall amounts and how slow it is going.

I have not read or heard anybody saying it is due to global warming or climate change. I remember one article saying they don't know if it has anything to do with it. The reason they now call it climate change is because though the planet is warming, it is causing weather extremes, not just warming. I believe climate change has been accelerated by humans and you may not (you really didn't indicate either way) but you can't just keep using fossil fuels and pumping garbage into the atmosphere and not disrupt the environment.
