From the paper:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHere we utilise an Australian natural disaster database of normalised insurance losses to show compound disasters are responsible for the highest seasonal financial losses. \u2026 There has been no temporal trend in their frequency since 1966. \u201c<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The predominant and most predictable driver of climate-related disaster events is not anthropogenic global warming, or CO2 emissions, but the El Ni\u00f1o Southern Oscillation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bad things happen:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Global levels of CO2 rose from 320 to 405ppm and made no difference to Compound disasters.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
