This is a good post and i think adjusting for these factors will go a long way to better understanding the impact that climate change is having. Not to mention, be more persuasive.

The article posted, which was an excerpt from Meet the Press, 9/15/19, from which I took the NOAA graphics, said the dollar figures were adjusted for inflation:
"But the growth of extreme weather extends beyond hurricanes. An analysis of weather disasters that did more than $1 billion in damage from the National Centers for Environmental Information finds that such high-cost events are up markedly since the 1980s. (The dollar figures for the events were adjusted for inflation.)"
And this: "There could be forces at play under those data: more expensive homes and buildings being hit leading to higher costs in some places, poor construction leading to more deaths in others. Maybe communities are building too much in places that are too prone to dangerous weather events.But the reasons are largely moot.The numbers show much more in the way of financial damage and lives lost this decade than in the past. Those are the kind of numbers that upset constituents and those concerns tend to make their way up to lawmakers and ultimately spur action."

The Trump administration on Wednesday will revoke California's power to enforce more stringent limits on vehicle carbon pollution than the federal government, sparking a battle with the state that has led a revolt against the EPA's rollbacks of dozens of environmental regulations.
The long-expected move seeks to neuter California's resistance to President Donald Trump's proposed rewrite of the Obama-era rules that would have required automakers to accelerate the deployment of more fuel-efficient cars and light trucks, a high priority in the state that has led the nation in efforts to fight climate change.
....Trump is eager to land a blow against the state that has become a top foe not just on environmental regulation, but also immigration, labor and other contentious issues — even as major business interests worry about the fallout.

The first one has nothing to do with population or inflation but ya I thought the same thing about the money related ones and the deaths one.
Edit: I just saw that red said the numbers were adjusted for inflation so we were wrong about that

Texas is inundated with the 5th wettest tropical storm in US history, and the 2nd "once in a thousand years" rain storm in two years.

You don't believe in climate change? How can anyone not unless they are profiting from the fossil fuel industry; then it's not a matter of belief but persuading others not to believe.

The day will come when people of all persuasions will look back at this abysmal ignorance and understand it to be one of the darkest eras in American history. I wish I lived in that day, and not this one. This era has been extremely painful for anyone who places any value on truth, on integrity, on the advancement of human knowledge. This really is the Dark Ages, but, if it really is always darkest before the dawn, I envy those who will be alive for that dawn, for the day that Trump and the Hannity's of his age are relegated to the dustbin of history.

Hmmm. Remember when AOC was called insensitive for comparing those camps where people were illegally detained from their children for months and withheld medical care, food, and water to concentration camps? I fully expect all those who were angered at AOC on this website to similarly denounce convicted felon who received a trump pardon, Dnesh D’Souza for this:
Pretty outrageous imo.

Dinesh D'Souza is an absolute hack, and a terrible person to boot. Who picks on a ****ing kid like that?
