In 2022, there were 18 weather/climate disaster events with losses exceeding $1 billion each to affect the United States. These events included 1 drought event, 1 flooding event, 11 severe storm events, 3 tropical cyclone events, 1 wildfire event, and 1 winter storm event. Overall, these events resulted in the deaths of 474 people and had significant economic effects on the areas impacted.

Most of the increase in damages from these things can be attributed to increasing population density. IOW the more houses there are in a given area the higher the damage costs in that same area for any particular weather event.

What is the proper number of such events?

Hate to burst your bubble...but severe weather events have been going down, not up....and the only reason they are costing more now is we have more people living in specific bad weather areas....and the building costs have gone up......

You twit....


In fact, the SCEC’s data show that nearly double the number of state high-temperature records were set or tied from 1900 to 1940 than were set or tied from 1980 to 2022, the recent period of modest warming. Indeed, four times more state high-temperature records were set or tied in the single decade spanning 1930 to 1939 (25), nearly 100 years of climate change ago, than were set or tied from 2000 to 2022 (six), which environmentalists have claimed are the warmest decades on record. As many high-temperature records were set or tied in the 1930s, as have been set or tied in all the other decades on record combined.

What about cold? Climate change, then called global warming, first hit the media’s radar screens in the 1980s. Yet, despite the shrill warnings of paid-for climate alarms shills in the mainstream media, as many state cold temperature records were set or tied from 1980 to 2022, the period of supposed rapid extreme warming, 19, as were set or tied from 1940 to 1980, a time when the earth was cooling and many scientists were warning of a return of the ice age. Three states’ cold temperature records—Illinois, Maine, and Oklahoma—were set since 2009, during the supposedly warmest decade on record.

Concerning extreme precipitation, more state records were set for rainfall within a 24-hour period from 1950 to 1970, when the Earth was cooling, than from 2000 to 2022.

Drought has been a mainstay in the news over the past couple of years, especially in California, at least until recently when back-to-back atmospheric river events shifted headlines to touting too much precipitation and flooding. Yet, government data show that recently the United States experienced its longest period in recorded history with fewer than 40 percent of the country experiencing “very dry” conditions. What’s more, in 2017 and 2019, the United States set records for having its smallest percentage of land area experiencing drought conditions. And what’s true for the United States is true for much of the world as well with the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reporting it has “high confidence” that precipitation has increased over mid-latitude land areas of the Northern Hemisphere (including the United States) over the past 70 years, while IPCC has “low confidence” about any negative trends globally.

Real-world data also refute the various breathless assertions figuratively shouted in dozens of mainstream media headlines across the course of 2022 that heatwaves; flooding; tropical cyclones and hurricanes; winter storms; and thunderstorms or tornadoes, or associated hail, lightning, and extreme winds have increased during the recent period of modest warming. They have not, as the data clearly demonstrate.

The simple truth is extreme weather, regardless of the type examined, is not worsening in any way that can be measured (other than by counting alarmingly headlined news stories). Extreme weather is neither more frequent, more powerful, nor more unpredictable. That was true for 2022, which was not a record-setting year for extreme weather, or for the recent decades of climate change as a whole. Data produced by the climate woke Biden administration says so. That’s the truth the mainstream media seemingly can’t handle and refuse to tell the American people.

Yep....more people simply living in the parts of the country most likely to experience tornados, and hurricanes.......and the cost to rebuild goes up due to inflation....and better construction materials and techniques....
 
Without inflation from hell it would still be millions not billions. Kill the value if the dollar, live more right on the beach, then wonder why more shit gets destroyed after a stirm.

If you post questions about it you might be an idiot.

And tell the country you can't have oil, coal, or natural gas, and everything you move by truck, boat, or plane goes up in price.........something the democrats know, which is why they have targeted the energy sector for destruction.

They are like Locusts.

Used covid to destroy our nation. So they can install digital currency at a later day after the planned great reset.

I wouldnt piss on them if they were on fire

So a carbon tax will magically end weather events?

How stupid are you people? Oh thats right, you believe people can change genders.

So, you're saying that if the US got serious about Climate Change, the climate wouldn't change? No more fires, no more droughts, no more torrential rains? By the way, inflation makes the costs of disasters go up. Guess that totally slipped your mind with this nonsense post.

Weather does whatever it does. It does not matter to inflation which is a global problem.
