It hasn't been established that climate change means more storms more often though.
- TheOtherHobbes 7y agoNo, but if the regular storms become larger and more destructive, that still affects habitability. https://www.c2es.org/content/hurricanes-and-climate-change/ https://www.c2es.org/content/hurricanes-and-climate-change/ And the point about more storms hasn't been established yet - which doesn't mean that it won't be established in the future. Given the likelihood of larger storms and the possibility of more frequent storms, living in a storm-prone area becomes a much less appealing idea. The UK has a similar problem. Some properties have been flooded multiple times in the last couple of decades. They're now uninsurable, which is not far off from being uninhabitable. Even if they stay dry for years at a time, it only takes a couple of very expensive renovations to reduce their value towards zero.
