I’m confused as to how this could happen when Orange Man Bad killed it
Private sector revives the climate disaster database Trump tried to squash
There were 23 separate billion-dollar weather and climate disasters in the United States last year, adding up to a total of $115 billion in damages, according to a new report from the climate research nonprofit Climate Central.
The report, and establishment of the Billion-Dollar Disasters Database within Climate Central, is a rare example of the private sector taking on government responsibilities.
The database allows taxpayers, media and researchers to track the cost of natural disasters, largely through property losses — spanning extreme events from hurricanes to hailstorms. It has been especially useful for the insurance and real estate industries and has been a way for the public to track the effects of fossil fuels on extreme weather and climate events.
The Trump administration halted the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s tracking of that data set in May. Then Climate Central hired Adam Smith, who had produced the disaster reports for NOAA, after he left government service amid cuts made across the oceans and atmosphere agency. Smith brought the database and its methodology with him to Climate Central.
Huh. It’s almost like it’s unnecessary for the Government to be the only one which produces this. How is that possible? But, hey, now Climate Central, a totally 100% non-partisan doomsday cult group, can pay to gather, maintain, and publish this.
Anyhow, I was about to write something more, but, CNN strangely makes the point
The overall increase in billion-dollar disasters over time and in their cost is partly due to human-caused climate change, which is making certain types of extreme weather events more frequent and severe, as well as population growth and suburban sprawl.
In short, there are more homes and businesses that can be affected by severe weather now than there were in 1980, when NOAA began tracking such statistics.
The anthropogenic climate change part is mule fritters, the rest is not. The more buildings and such there are the more chance of damage and the more costly.
Of note, if you allow government malfeasance and theft to inflate your currency enough, every weather event can be a “billion-dollar Disaster”, even if it is no more destructive objectively than any previous event. The 50% inflation of the first year of the Biden administration alone makes new events that were only half a billion, not “Billion-dollar” events if they happen again in the future. And the way government works, there is zero probability of ever having a negative inflation rate, no matter who is in charge.
BREAKING: Cellphone video released in deadly Minneapolis ICE agent shooting

Doesn’t matter. The evidence was irrefutable that St. Floyd was killed by a Fentanyl overdose, but Chauvin is still in prison. The prosecutor and city WANTED and outcome for political reasons and didn’t care about the facts or justice.
That is all untrue. The perfersser lies as often as his master.
Will the perfesser present the irrefutable evidence?
?
Sure it is m-the initial autopsy report said “no bodily injury found”, later changed due to “ persuasion”
Watch “The Fall of Minneapolis” documentary or the book “They’re Lying” by Liz Collin
Forget it, Jl.
“It’s Minneapolistown.”
LOL
