"Quite a few climate disasters" is not an accurate description. The head of the UN claimed that disasters had increased by 500% which was blatantly untrue according to the data. In fact they had fallen slightly. I want to start and finish with accurate data. That is the only truth.

ReplyDeleteThis one is 29 billion dollar climate disasters. How many do you need?
Here is a short extract from the article:

The 2022 count will be just about the average of the past decade and about 10% less than annual disaster counts of the first decade of this century."
If you view the article there is a bar graph which shows the number of disasters for each year.
