Disaster cost in Australia 1966–2017 is not increasing (slightly but insignificantly decreasing), when corrected for more people and more valuable stuff https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/17477891.2019.1609406 …pic.twitter.com/hd9FR0wLvH

Of course, if you just look at the nominal cost of the disasters, it increases dramatically, and can be used to argue that catastrophes are getting worse But this neglects inflation and the fact that there are many more people with much more valuable stuffpic.twitter.com/0igIQsaz7x

This article shows that, properly accounted, the cost of weather-related disasters has *not* increased You can't claim that increasing damage costs are caused by global warming, because they disappear when correcting for development https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/17477891.2019.1609406 …pic.twitter.com/8KlKCDR8Of
