Almost free of the car...

Those who wait for 95 percent confidence on climate risks do so at their peril. "As someone who has spent some time looking at changes in the incidence of hurricanes around the planet, I have been asked to provide a response to Roger Pielke Jr.'s article 'Disasters Cost More Than Ever -- But Not Because of Climate Change,' published at FiveThirtyEight earlier this month....I am sympathetic to Pielke's emphasis on the role of changing demographics in increasing damages from natural disasters. This is a serious problem that could be addressed by wiser policies....Having said that, I'm not comfortable with Pielke's assertion that climate change has played no role in the observed increase in damages from natural hazards; I don't see how the data he cites support such a confident assertion." Kerry Emanuel in FiveThirtyEight.
