NOAA climate report, for April 2023:

www.noaa.gov/news/us-dominated-by-remarkable-warmth-so-far-in-2023

So the average is 8.3 times $1 billion events a year. So, in the first four months of 2023, the yearly average is almost met.

So the monthly average for these billion dollar events this year is $4.75 billion.

Each $1 billion event isn’t becoming more expensive on average.

The average monthly cost the past 43 years was similar to this year. At about $4.9 billion a month.

Oh to be rich, like the USA.

Poorer countries are not able to adapt so well.
