Nobody knows the effects of extreme weather events better than the people that insure the insurance companies.

Didn't you make the same thread 10 years ago?
Yes, I did. And the rise in extreme weather events have proven the scientists prediction correct. As the continuing rise in extreme weather events will continue to increase the cost of those events every year.
Natural catastrophe losses in 2020 were significantly higher than in the previous year

Just more people...
Really a dumb **** statement. Munich Re and many other insurers have graphs that show the same thing. This is by event, not cost;

Ohhhh a pretty graph that only goes back a few decades show me a graph of the past 300 years
With the same metrics
Impossible to explain to a really stupid person that things have changed siginificantly in the last 300 years.
So no data huh?
He prefers misleading videos over cold hard data,
it is why he ignored post 53
You are such a dummy. No one is claiming that there were not serious floods in the past. But we are getting more frequent flooding now than in the past. But you deny that and lie about it, because it does not fit your political views. People like you would not survive very long during the stone age, because denial of reality simply led to idiots becomes a snack for something big and toothy. Yes, there is more flooding now than in the past;
Heavier Precipitation
"A warmer atmosphere holds and subsequently dumps more water. As the country has heated up an average of
1.8 degrees Fahrenheit since 1901, it has also become about
4 percent wetter, with the eastern half of the United States growing soggiest. In the Northeast, the most extreme storms generate approximately
27 percent more moisture than they did a century ago. Basically, because of global warming, when it rains, it pours more. Such was the finding of a
study by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) examining the record-breaking rainfall that landed on Louisiana in 2016, causing devastating flooding. The study determined that these rains were at least 40 percent more likely and 10 percent more intense because of climate change.
Looking forward, heavy precipitation events are
projected to increase (along with
temperatures) through the 21st century, to a level from
50 percent to as much as three times the historical average. This includes extreme weather events known as atmospheric rivers, air currents heavy with water from the tropics, which account for as much as
40 percent of typical snowpack and annual precipitation along the West Coast. Experts predict they will intensify, bringing as much as
50 percent more heavy rain by the end of this century."
A growing number of communities—both coastal and inland—are finding themselves underwater. Extreme weather, sea level rise, and other climate change impacts are increasingly to blame. Here’s a look at what links flooding and our warming world.
