Anyone see a conflict of interest here? The study also goes back to when time began: 1980. Which means the Earth is only 32 years old, not 4.5 billion. From the “Only USA Today would report such dribble Dept.“:

The number of natural disasters per year has been rising dramatically on all continents since 1980, but the trend is steepest for North America where countries have been battered by hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, searing heat and drought, a new report says.

The study being released today by Munich Re, the world’s largest reinsurance firm, sees climate change driving the increase and predicts those influences will continue in years ahead, though a number of experts question that conclusion.
