What is driving the rising cost of natural disasters? / John McAneney
Sumario: The rising cost of weather-related natural disasters is often attributed to global climate change. This view is wrong, says Professor John McAneney of Risk Frontiers -- Figures: 1a. Actual annual aggregate insured losses (AUD million) for weather-related events in the ICA Disaster List for 12 month periods beginning July I (in the dollars of the day) -- 1b. Same data normalised to 2011/12 societal conditions (AUD million) (Updated from Crompton and McAneney 2008) -- 2. Normalised numbers of buildings destroyed in Australian bushfires accumulated by 12-month periods beginning 1 July and normalised to 2008-2009 societal conditions. Beyond the 2008-9 season, only the raw (non-normalised) data have been plotted (Updated from Crompton et al. 2010)
