I know this.  We've reduced deaths by weather by having a large warning infrastructure with alarms and radar.  I also know that the East Coast has been recently blasted with hurricanes of unsual strength and power.  Left a lot of people homeless.

The prediction was that there would be an increase in cat 4 and cat 5 hurricanes. The facts on the ground are these storms vary in intensity following well understood El Nino and El Nina patterns, they show no signs of increasing in either intensity or frequency in comparison to previous decades or centuries. 

It's human nature to believe they live in the most consequential time in history. Also human nature to believe they control things well outside their sphere of influence. Human industry has negligible impact on the climate but we can **** up the environment real good. AGW has taken the focus off of real and pressing environmental disasters. Who has time for microplastics causing damage to all life when the world is going to end from climate disasters? Who can justify donating money to clean the oceans when the specter of climate cataclysm is looming over us? AGW has done more damage to the cause of environmentalism than the fossil fuel industry.
