Apparently you can't stay on topic with your own posts! it's about damage costs dingbat. You hear that? It's the sound of your bubble bursting. Facts are a bummer. A record 63 billion-dollars of weather disasters hit Earth in 2023 Population Growth Is Making Hurricanes More Expensive Dec 2, 2022Population Growth Is Making Hurricanes More Expensive - The New York Times Population Growth Is Making Hurricanes More Expensive The 2022 Atlantic hurricane season, which ended this week, was... and: nature.com Direct economic losses result when a hurricane encounters an exposed, vulnerable society. A normalization estimates direct economic losses from a historical extreme event if that same event was to occur under contemporary societal conditions. Under the global indicator framework of United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, the reduction of direct economic losses as a proportion of total economic activity is identified as a key indicator of progress in the mitigation of disaster impacts. Understanding loss trends in the context of development can therefore aid in assessing sustainable development. This analysis provides a major update to the leading dataset on normalized US hurricane losses in the continental United States from 1900 to 2017. Over this period, 197 hurricanes resulted in 206 landfalls with about US$2 trillion in normalized (2018) damage, or just under US$17 billion annually. Consistent with observed trends in the frequency and intensity of hurricane landfalls along the continental United States since 1900, the updated normalized loss estimates also show no trend. A more detailed comparison of trends in hurricanes and normalized losses over various periods in the twentieth century to 2017 demonstrates a very high degree of consistency.
