World population has nearly doubled since 1980, so has building along the coasts and rivers. So, no surprise that more people are killed and more damage from storms. To add to this fear mongering in my area, the media weathermen and women are issuing severe storm warnings every time it rains. If thunderstorms are possible, then we get tornado warnings. These alerts often begin several days before a weather front approaches so the hysteria lasts for days and often for nothing. We no longer pay much attention unless we can actually see storms coming. All these climate fanatics avoid talking about the 1930s when temperature extremes were much more severe than today.

Virtually every claim make is demonstrably false. No surprise there, coming from a political organization. Every point they make is refuted by the IPCC AR5 report from 2013, which was based on the latest observations: there is no statistically significant increase in the size or frequency of natural disasters, extreme weather events, major floods, drought, storms, or wildfires. None. (Or hurricanes, which wasn't mentioned here.) The only significant change is how they calculate a "natural disaster" and its cost. Why? To support their preconceived fantasy that a paltry 1.1° C temperature increase over a hundred-plus years is wreaking an apocalypse on us, which anyone who has a passing grasp of thermodynamics and physics will tell you is complete nonsense.

Things haven't changed much in the 7 years since IPCC AR5, but the fervor and madness of climate revolutionaries continues unabated, though it is measurably more strident. The fantasy is more real to these people than observations, data, and science. Come back to the real world.

Obviously we must stop using fossil fuels immediately, and nuclear, and use a sustainable 40w per hour to heat and cool our homes, ride our bikes the average 30km commute, and only eat organic! :/

Climate change is by and large caused by the incessant punching holes in our atmosphere by untold numbers of rockets. Stop before it’s too late!

As usual, the dipstick climate change deniers think they know better.

Get it into your thick heads people. If this level of growth in capitalist over consumption continues, we're in a heap of trouble. There's too many of us gobbling up a disproportional amount of resources!

Fearmongering AGAIN...
NOBODY & AKSDAD: Well put.

You instantly lost my attention at "UN".

"Experts warn", "more inhospitable world"?? What experts? "Inhospitable" compared to when? The last ice age? Any ice age? Super-volcano activity that covered the globe with clouds/ash for decades? That was inhospitable. Population is up, poverty down over the 20th century. The trend continues. The govt. fear hyping continues also. Fear distracts people's attention from the abject failure of politics.It encourages people to obey immoral, impractical, irrational, tyrannical govt. edicts.

Meanwhile, inorganic conventional farming destroys the soil fertility, the food quality, and health suffers.

Imagine a world without war, without warmongers, without politicians, without bureaucrats. It starts one country at a time, e.g., Switzerland hasn't succumbed to the hate/fear hysteria for over a century and has the highest standard of living.

While I agree we need to get off fossil fuels, does this report take into account the population increase, as well as the people who live closer to forests and places that can cause havoc with populations? Is part of the problem that we are so much better now at documenting these disasters? Again, I am all for a renewable future, oil is dirty and political, but if we are talking real science we need to look at these scenarios in a totally objective manner.

@aksdad...LOL
How about actually reading the IPCC AR5 report from 2013?

"Surface temperature is projected to rise over the 21st century under all assessed emission
scenarios. It is very likely that heat waves will occur more often and last longer, and that
extreme precipitation events will become more intense and frequent in many regions. The
ocean will continue to warm and acidify, and global mean sea level to rise. {2.2}"

"Climate change will amplify existing risks and create new risks for natural and human systems. Risks are unevenly distributed and are generally greater for disadvantaged people and
communities in countries at all levels of development. {2.3}"
