Hint hint: it's going to get way, way worse.
There may be no more humans by the end of this century if global average temperature is going to rise up by 4.8C.

How in the end a few people dying from malaria and malnutrition won't destroy the human race

not here to deny the warming, but measuring disaster impact by a cost threshold is going to show an increase over time just due to increased population and industrialisation, and is thus a dishonest method of measuring the increase of natural disasters.

for the dummies: if the same storm hit a particular city in 1980, the adjusted cost would be under the threshold and wouldn't count to the total. if an equivalent storm hit the same city in 2020, the cost would be above the threshold, and now the number of natural disasters magically increased.

It’s just the inflation retards

the longer i think about this the more angry i get that anyone would ever use this as a good-faith argument.
>cost of building materials doubles
twice as many natural disasters.
>government codes enforce more costly building practices by a factor of 2
twice as many natural disasters now.
>infrastucture rebuilding increases non-linearly with population size
more natural disasters pulled out of nowhere.

obviously those are pulled out of my ass, but i'm sure a significant enough part of that change can be explained ecenomically.

fwiw it says it is adjusted

Fags on /sci/ will NEVER believe in climate change, not least because they never go outside.

It's a good thing history begun in 1980

Good luck surviving or sustaining yourself with agriculture in extremely chaotic and unpredictable climate.

No it began 4000 years ago. When Adam and Eve fucked with a snake or some shit.

Yes, but it's probably using overall inflation when both infrastructure and housing costs have increased far more than overall inflation. Some of it also is more demand for housing and infrastructure in flood zones, especially coastal areas. Back when land's value was primarily based on how good it was for agriculture, coastal land was next to worthless and hardly anyone lived there with the exception of harbors that could serve as ports. Living on a sandy beach next to salt water would have got you pity, not envy.

1 billion dollars in damage is like three broken windows and two leaking roofs these days.

>few people dying
Last estimate I saw was 1B dead from food shortages and 500M climate refugees.
