How extreme weather in 2018 cost the world billions
Floods, drought, hurricanes and fires cost the world nearly $100billion in 2018, as well as causing untold human damage, according to an analysis of the world’s most extreme weather of the year.
In a new report, charity Christian Aid has highlighted the 10 worst and most expensive weather events of the year – from the ongoing drought in Australia to Europe’s summer heatwaves to floods in India – and highlighted the link with climate change.
As well as costing billions of pounds the extreme weather also cost thousands of lives, with 500 people dying in floods in southern India alone.

Here’s how much extreme weather costs taxpayers
With Hurricane Bud expected to make landfall in California this week, taxpayers are bracing for the devastating impact of natural disasters that come with the summer and fall seasons. From hurricanes to earthquakes to wildfires, taxpayers pay a great deal for extreme weather disasters.
Over the last decade, the federal government has spent $350 billion on these catastrophes, with costs expected to reach $35 billion annually by 2050, according to the Center for American Progress.
Recent natural disasters — including Hurricane Irma, Hurricane Maria and the wildfires in Northern California — left millions of residents emptying out their emergency funds, in need of disaster assistance and cities in dire need of repair, putting a great deal of pressure on the wallets of American taxpayers.

Lite överraskande att extremväder 2018 "bara" kostade 100 miljarder dollar när dom 2017 kostade 300 miljarder dollar.
En faktor av stor betydelse för kostnaden är var händelserna råkar slå till. 2017 var det Harvey som drabbade storstaden Houston. Jag har sett kostnadsuppskattningar på mellan 100 och 200 miljarder dollar bara för Houston. Florence, som främst drabbade Carolinas, blev "billig" i jämförelse med Harvey eftersom huvuddelen av nederbörden föll över områden där det inte fanns någon stor stad.
Det är inte så enkelt att få en bild av hur mycket pengar det handlar om. USA's militärbudget uppgick 2018 till drygt 600 miljarder USD. Svenska statens åromsättning är drygt 100 miljarder USD.
