The annual number of weather disasters inflicting $1 billion or more in damage has risen fivefold since the turn of the century, adjusted for inflation. Some of this is due to people rushing like lemmings into disaster-prone areas. But much of it is a result of the rising frequency and destructiveness of these events because of climate change.
This was all known, entirely predictable, and disseminated widely by climate experts. But that was too “woke”. So have fun with your weather disasters that you voted to ignore. I’m fresh fucking out of sympathy.
