Those promoting global warming are counting on that to be true, particularly members of the press. The cause was laid to deforestation and global warming. We would like to point out to Associated Press that increases in insurance claims and in news reports of weather disasters are not a reliable gauge of whether or not more weather disasters are actually occurring, and they certainly tell us nothing about the cause. Here's a reality check, courtesy of one of the public policy groups here in Washington.
Weather disasters are nothing new.
Filing insurance claims and seeing film footage that same day on CNN are new. An estimated 35 inches of rain floods Calcutta, submerging half the city. A hurricane kills more than 8,000 people. Paris flood, so big it imperils the Louvre. A Mississippi flood covers vast areas, resulting in landmark federal action to prevent future flooding.
