Prof. Pielke Jr.: ‘Over the past six decades, tornado damage has declined after accounting for development that has put more property into harm’s way’
'Researchers have similar conclusions for other phenomena around the world, ranging from typhoons in China, bushfires in Australia, and windstorms in Europe. After adjusting for patterns of development, over the long-term there is no climate change signal — no 'footprint' — of increasing damage from extreme events either globally or in particular regions.'
