Weather disasters at record highs? Bjorn Lomborg: ‘Tremendously misleading…the world & the US are not seeing increasing damages…Despite breathless climate reporting’
Media & NOAA hyped claims: Record 22 Billion-Dollar Weather Disasters Struck the U.S. in 2020, NOAA Says
But Bjorn Lomborg rebuts: “Tremendously misleading. The number of billion-dollar disasters will of course increase as society gets richer. When corrected for increased wealth, the world and the US are not seeing increasing damages (but insignificantly *decreasing* damages).” – “Despite breathless climate reporting, the relative cost of global weather catastrophes 1990-2020 not increasing (actually insignificantly decreasing).”
