The Geneva-Switzerland based International Federation of the Red Cross recently released its 2014 Natural Disaster Report.

US hurricane and tornado activity trends since 1950 have remained flat or are decreasing respectively.

90% less deaths: A total of 8186 people died in 2014 because of natural disasters. Bild reports: “2014 the number of deaths from natural disasters was almost 90 percent under the 10-year average of 76 500 deaths.”

In 94 countries there were a total of 317 floods, earthquakes, forest fires, cyclones and a number of other nature events with deaths. “But that was the lowest number in 10 years.“

For the third consecutive year, tornado season in the United States was one of the least active since Doppler radar began being deployed in the early 1990s.”

Violent tornadoes on the decrease: Since 1950, the overall trend of higher-end tornadoes rated at F3/EF3 and above has remained nearly flat and shows a slight annual decrease of 0.8 percent

How many times do we see the climate change religion come in here and babble on and on and on and on and on and on about how catastrophic weather and climate events are getting by the day??!!! "Things are getting wilder all the time!!!"

Ummm.............no they're not!!!!

Natural disasters and climatic weather events come and go in cycles..

If it were up to the AGW cult they would make these cycles disappear..

How about addressing the report nimrod. CD is merely a clearing house for reports, studies, and articles. It doesn't write them for the most part. You are such the typical moron who attacks the source while blissfully ignoring the facts that are presented. Epic fail dude. Epic fail. You're on quite the losing streak.

Climate Change ‘Footprint’ Cited in Disaster Loss Trends

North America has seen the world’s sharpest increase in the number of natural catastrophes during the past 32 years, a trend that in some respects is linked to manmade global warming, according to a report released Wednesday from the global reinsurance giant Munich Re. The study, which has not undergone scientific peer review, examined natural disaster losses between 1980 and 2011, finding that weather-related loss events in North America “nearly quintupled” during the period, compared to just an increase factor of two in Europe, for example.

2012 has, so far, had the most extreme weather on record in the lower 48 states, according to the Climate Extremes Index.

The insured losses during the period was a whopping $510 billion. The largest loss event wasHurricane Katrina in 2005, which was the costliest natural disaster ever recorded in North America, and killed 1,322 people, the report said.

And you will see this in your insurance bills.

Financing the Costs of Climate Change in Disaster-Prone Asian Nations | In Asia

Disaster insurance has quickly risen up the global policy agenda in the last few years, where phrases like “loss and damage mechanisms” and “micro-insurance schemes” are catching fire in climate change discussions about how to finance the costs of more frequent and more powerful storms, floods, droughts, and agricultural shocks. And for good reason.

Over the past 20 years, Asia specifically has suffered half of the estimated global economic cost of natural disasters – about $53 billion annually. Above, aftermath of Typhoon Yolanda which struck the Philippines in November. Photo/Flickr user Asian Development Bank Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda) Damage and Rehabilitation in the Philippines

The question of how to build financial resilience for climate change adaptation that enables quicker and longer lasting recovery after disasters strike is critical for addressing global poverty, especially in the most vulnerable areas in the Asia-Pacific region where economic losses consistently far outweigh those recouped from limited insurance, reinsurance, and risk transfer options.

The re-insurance companies are mincing no words concerning the increasing losses and increasing frequency of disasters due to global warming.

 

[skookerasbil]

The religion cant accept when the established narrative gets nuked and fall back on citing "insurance costs"......lol.......insurance on everything is increasing all the time......not decreasing. duh

We really don't even need this research to know now do we? If you even have half your brain in the game you now that tornado activity is down significantly. Hurricanes? What are they?

Bottom line?

All this natural disaster stuff is cyclical.......the AGW climate crusaders just always display the same MO when a natural disaster happens: blame it on global warming. All their prediction crap ALWAYS falls flat on its face. We've seen it 450,000 times!!!

Well now........we have research that kicks the crusaders directly in the nut sack!!!

And theyre pissed!!!

anybody with half a brain knows that natual disasters run in cycles since forever

Let us look at your source. Climate Central is a biased web site who's sole work is to perpetuate the fraud of global warming. That's it. That's all they do. However, if they report something accurately then their bias is not an issue. Now, were they to report on studies inaccurately. Then they would no longer be a credible source. See how that works?

And for good reason.

Over the past 20 years, Asia specifically has suffered half of the estimated global economic cost of natural disasters – about $53 billion annually.

The question of how to build financial resilience for climate change adaptation that enables quicker and longer lasting recovery after disasters strike is critical for addressing global poverty, especially in the most vulnerable areas in the Asia-Pacific region where economic losses consistently far outweigh those recouped from limited insurance, reinsurance, and risk transfer options.

The re-insurance companies are mincing no words concerning the increasing losses and increasing frequency of disasters due to global warming.

Of course not. They have a guaranteed source of income to entice their continued support. They get to charge people money to defend themselves against some mythical beast. Imagine it this way, they get to charge insurance against "DRAGON FIRE" knowing full well that dragon fire doesn't exist. It's the perfect scam and idiots like you lap it up. It is a FACT that natural disasters have declined. It is also a fact that the "record" monetary losses of the disasters that do occur is because of inflation and nothing more.

A thinking person could figure that out.

Clearly you don't know how.

>> ClimateDepot.com founder Marc Morano has been called "the Matt Drudge of climate denial," the "king of the skeptics," and "a central cell of the climate-denial machine," and he revels in these descriptions. Although he has no scientific expertise, he is adamant that manmade global warming is a "con job" based on "subprime science." Morano gained prominence working for two of the most vocal climate deniers in the U.S.: Sen. James Inhofe (R-OK), who notoriously called climate change "the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people," and Rush Limbaugh, who we named Climate Change Misinformer of the Year in 2011 for his steadfast denial of climate science and wild conspiracy theories about the climate change "hoax."

These days Morano is paid by an industry-funded group to run the climate denial website ClimateDepot.com. At Climate Depot, Morano serves as the de facto research department for the right-wing media's attacks on climate science, and mobilizes his readers to target individual scientists and reporters for telling the public about climate change threats. The site was instrumental in manufacturing the 2009 "Climategate" controversy, which Morano incorrectly claimed exposed "deliberate manipulation of facts and data" by climate scientists. Morano is a darling of the organization most committed to climate denial, the Heartland Institute. He regularly speaks at their conferences and defended their controversial billboard comparing those who accept climate science to "murderers, tyrants, and madmen" including the Unabomber Ted Kaczynski. << -- Climate Change Misinformer of the Year, Marc Murano

How about addressing the report nimrod. CD is merely a clearing house for reports, studies, and articles. It doesn't write them for the most part. You are such the typical moron who attacks the source while blissfully ignoring the facts that are presented. Epic fail dude. Epic fail. You're on quite the losing streak.

Is the post inaccurate?

Alrighty then. "Consider the source" stands.

Love posting up the CHRONOLOGY OF EXTRME WEATHER (see link above ).......the k00ks make like the material isn't even there!!. Scores of natural disasters every year......some years more.......some less. That's whats known as a cycle. The AGW crusaders evidently never heard of it or, more likely, choose to ignore it in a public forum because facing reality sucks for these types. Acknowledging facts on this stuff does make them look pretty fucking stoopid so I get it.
