The rise in property damage often gets blamed on climate change, especially by click-baiting media and greedy insurance companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Bojanowski says it\u2019s misleading to blame climate change, noting: \u201cGlobal economy has grown by more than 400 percent since 1990, and so there\u2019s a correspondingly greater amount of property. Moreover, the global population has risen by 3 billion people since the 1980s, thus a weather event hits more people and residential areas than before and so more damage is caused.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other factors driving up the amount of damage is inflation. Bojanowski reports: \u201cStudies have been showing for a long time that this not much increase in damage is left when increased property values and inflation get deducted from the weather damages.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Die Welt<\/em> article<\/a> also quotes Prof. Roger Pielke Jr. of the University of Colorado, who said: \u201cThere\u2019s no indication that economic damage is increasing due to weather and climate catastrophes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When all factors get correctly taken into account, there in fact appears to even be a decrease in economic damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bojanowski\u2019s article has been online for over a year, yet no one has come out to rebut this good news.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It turns out that climate panic is good business for media and insurance companies, but it is not based on fact or real data. It\u2019s more a scam than science. The climate catastrophe is nothing more than a lucrative business model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
