>> In 2012 they declined but in 2013 they picked right back up again:

That, of course, just isn't true.

"Except that wasn’t the case—at least not in 2013. The reinsurance company Munich Re came out with its annual assessment of natural disasters, and found that 2013 was an unusually quiet year. Catastrophes like floods and storms claimed more than 20,000 lives around the world, and caused more than $125 billion in damages. While that’s clearly a lot—and the number of deaths from disasters rose over 2012—both figures are well below the 106,000 in deaths and $184 billion in losses that were experienced on average over the past decade."

Remember when Romney said Russia was more of a threat than the Taliban and obama gave him shit 'hey the 80s called they want their foreign policy back'

well looks like Romney was right and Obama was wrong again.
