Climate change to blame? 2021 produced the second-costliest disasters on record | DW News ctm magazine
Hurricanes, floods, wildfires, 2021 brought more than its share of natural disasters. And as well as claiming around 10,000 lives, they also took a major financial toll. German reinsurer Munich Re says it was one of the most expensive years on record, with global damages estimated at around 280 billion dollars – only 120 billion dollars of which was insured. Hardest hit was the United States, which accounted for 150 billion dollars of the damages. It was struck by Hurricane Ida, disastrous tornadoes, an extremely cold winter in the south and wildfires in the west. In Europe, floods did the most damage. 54 billion dollars worth in total. Last year’s flooding in western Germany was the country’s most costly natural disaster on record. Meanwhile the Asia-Pacific region saw damages of 48 billion dollars, but a mere 8 billion of which was covered by insurance. So what made 2021 a remarkable year for natural disasters?

Terrorismo Climático Midiático e Biotecnosanitario ao mesmo tempo !
So Africa is out of the picture

Is the World Broke ?
for the future generation, there are 2 paths ahead,
1) dry sand, bones, riffle, hate, illness, and a 100 dollar bill, following the greed
2) green, meat, pencil, love, cure, and a 10 dollar bill, which eventually will turn in a healthy 1k bill, following the science
u choose ur path
Approve use of Nordstream 2 pipeline for cheap and reliable natural gas.

No
The Pliocene 3,000,000 years ago was far stormier. And we're already at its CO2 atmospheric concentration. Once the Arctic ice is gone, the storms will dramatically intensify. Already, there is minimal ice of a thickness greater than 1.5 meters; and the heat content in the Arctic Ocean already can melt 1 meter of ice were all the heat to rise to the surface. So, there may be an ice free Arctic this summer.
If you wanted to replace your home, car and furnitures, you'd probably need to pay 20%+ extra last year due to inflation, as a result of poor government policies.
Munich RE actually explained the lost with two points:
1. Social-econ factor (higher property value due to population growth and inflation)
2. When asked about contribution of climate change, they said it's possible, but added they can't prove it.
Do not disagree climate change could be a factor, but I do think the headline misleading and the reporter very biased.
The world's most expensive disaster ever is our politicians. They together can destroy an entire nation.
Climate is always going to change 🙄
USA and Germany are among the biggest offenders
Don't forget Australia though who are the worst.
do people not understand what weather warfare is? Operation Popeye. Theyve had control of the weather since the early 70s.
The price of doing nothing because – profit.
Well we know what to expect this year ,let the nest survive or the richest
Don't worry, as soon as it starts affecting the rich they'll do something about it.
Insurance is farce, it's idiotic.
Like in the LOTR, when the war starts to affect the elves homeland, they migrate to undying land… But for humans, there is no planet B or a better place… Just to remind the science deniers…
There have always been storms, some years worse than others. Climate change is a myth to justify more taxes and regulation.
Meanwhile in Australia, we had the coolest year since 2012, probably attributable in part to La Niña, which we are seeing again as we go into 2022.
They said cost but inflation is out of control. I guess climate change causes inflation
This is all because of human action, they are silently killing the next generation. Very sad 😭
Government policies in the last 2 years are probably the most damaging in history
it will only get worse the years to come.
In the long run it will cheaper to go much greener sooner than to pay for all the damage that climate change is going to cause.
