Comparing one year to the next is not a trend. As for: "US dominates the loss figures" It's not clear if that's due to more storms or because we build larger homes, fill them with more stuff, own more cars, and/or are more likely to build in areas prone to flood. I'm not questioning climate change. I am questioning the integrity of this (data?) analysis.
