Al Gore blamed extreme weather on climate change. “Every storm is different now because it takes place in a warmer and wetter world.”
But that isn’t true.
Roger Pielke Jr explains: "we haven’t observed changes in the frequency or intensity (of storms) that are beyond natural variability."
Pielke says it’s more complicated: “The increasing impacts of extreme weather…are due to what we build, where we build, how much wealth we have in harm’s way.”
In other words, weather costs more because people build more expensive properties in risky places.
His research won awards and is cited by the U.N. climate committee.
