greenfuturist: Severe storms and tropical cyclones accounted for over 55% of these events, and nearly 60% of the inflation-adjusted damages. Elsewhere in the world the status quo is just as sobering; the Association of British Insurers (ABI), for example, estimated the financial impacts of climate change by looking under some very specific lampposts: inland floods in Great Britain induced by precipitation, winter windstorms in the UK, and typhoons in China. ABI concluded that insured flood losses on 100-year storms in Great Britain could rise by 30%, and insured losses resulting from typhoons in China could rise by 32% as a result of climate change.
