From Watts Up With That?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

From Anthony Watts<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the most persistent claims in climate politics is that weather disasters are becoming increasingly expensive because climate change is making extreme weather worse. The assertion has been repeated so often by politicians and echoed so faithfully by much of the media that it has taken on the appearance of established fact. Recently, Dr. Roger Pielke Jr. wrote up a revealing post on substack titled: Europe\u2019s Weather Losses Keep Climbing \u2013 But a new loss normalization finds no trend after accounting for economic growth<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some excerpts and analysis follow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

European Climate Commissioner Wopke Hoekstra recently declared, \u201cThe reality is that as climate change continues, the pattern of more heat waves, more droughts, more heavy weather, and of course also more floods is going up\u2026 you will see more damage\u2026 the ever-larger economic damage that climate change\u2026 is bringing to our societies.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It certainly sounds convincing. Unfortunately for that narrative, Roger Pielke Jr. has once again done what too few economists bother to do: examine the data before accepting the conclusion. Pielke\u2019s latest analysis, based on newly updated catastrophe loss data from the European Environment Agency (EEA), finds that once economic growth is properly accounted for, Europe\u2019s weather-related disaster losses have remained essentially flat since 1990.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At first glance, the raw numbers appear to support the alarmist storyline. Inflation-adjusted disaster losses have increased substantially over the past three decades, and the chart certainly gives the impression that weather is becoming dramatically more expensive. That is precisely the statistic routinely cited in speeches, reports, and headlines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The problem is that the comparison is fundamentally misleading, if not flat out false.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Europe today bears little resemblance to Europe in 1990. The continent has accumulated vastly more wealth. Cities have expanded. Infrastructure has multiplied. Homes have become larger and more valuable. Businesses own more equipment, governments own more infrastructure, and insurers cover far more expensive property than they did thirty-five years ago. In simple terms, there is much more to damage today than there was a generation ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the exact same flood or windstorm struck Europe in 2024 as occurred in 1990, common sense tells us the economic losses would almost certainly be higher simply because society has accumulated far more assets in harm\u2019s way. Rising monetary losses, by themselves, therefore tell us very little about whether the weather itself has become more destructive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is precisely why disaster researchers normalize loss data.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pielke adjusts reported losses to account for the growth of Europe\u2019s economy by expressing disaster costs relative to GDP. The methodology is straightforward: reported losses are scaled by the ratio of 2024 GDP to the GDP of the year in which the event occurred. In effect, the calculation asks a simple question: what would that historical disaster cost if it happened in today\u2019s economy?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Far from being an unconventional approach, measuring disaster losses relative to GDP has become standard practice in disaster economics. The United Nations Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction<\/a> even uses losses as a percentage of GDP as one of its official indicators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once this adjustment is made, the dramatic upward trend mostly disappears.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

The updated EEA data covering 1990 through 2024 show year-to-year variability, as one would expect from weather, but essentially no long-term increase in normalized losses. Pielke summarizes the finding succinctly: \u201cOnce you account for economic growth, the normalized cost of weather and climate extremes in Europe has not increased over 1990\u20132024. The overall trend is flat.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

That conclusion is particularly noteworthy because the updated dataset includes the catastrophic floods that struck Germany and Belgium in 2021, events that generated some of the largest insured and uninsured losses in recent European history. Yet even after including those disasters, the long-term normalized trend remains essentially unchanged. In fact, once exposure is held constant, years such as 1990, 1999, and 2002 emerge as equally, or even more economically significant than some of the recent headline events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recognizing that critics might question using aggregate European GDP, Pielke also performed a robustness check by normalizing each country\u2019s losses against its own GDP before combining the results. The outcome differed by only about 1.5 percent from the aggregate calculation. In other words, the conclusion proved remarkably insensitive to the methodology employed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This distinction between hazard and exposure has been understood within disaster research for decades. Economic losses are determined not only by the severity of the weather event itself, but also by how many people, buildings, roads, factories, and other assets lie in its path. As societies become wealthier, losses naturally increase even if the physical hazard remains unchanged. Ignoring that reality inevitably produces misleading conclusions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ironically, this has long been recognized by the IPCC itself. Previous assessment reports have repeatedly concluded that observed increases in disaster losses are dominated by increases in exposure and wealth, with little evidence that the monetary trends themselves demonstrate worsening weather. Yet that important caveat frequently disappears somewhere between the technical report and the press release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The result is a steady stream of headlines pointing to ever-rising billion-dollar disasters as proof of a \u201cclimate crisis\u201d while failing to mention that today\u2019s world simply contains far more billion-dollar assets than it once did. Comparing raw disaster losses across decades without accounting for economic growth is no more meaningful than comparing housing prices across generations without adjusting for inflation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

None of this demonstrates that climate has no influence on weather extremes, nor does it suggest future trends cannot change. It does, however, show that one of the most commonly cited indicators of an escalating climate crisis, the apparent explosion in economic disaster losses, largely disappears once exposure is properly accounted for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That is precisely why normalization exists. It separates changes in the weather from changes in society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the current political climate, however, raw numbers often generate better headlines than normalized ones. Unfortunately, science isn\u2019t supposed to be driven by headlines. It is supposed to be driven by evidence, and the latest evidence from the European Environment Agency suggests that Europe\u2019s weather disaster losses tell a much more nuanced story than the one being repeated by policymakers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
