Remember, the dollar value of climate disasters is always rising, even if the events in question stay the same.

First, population growth.

Second, human migration to the coasts

Third, increasing wealth and property values

Fourth, inflation

Add them all up, and it starts exponentially increasing the cost of climate disasters, without worse climate disasters.
