No we're not. I used to do some stuff with the guys n gals from Aber Uni looking at flooding across Wales. There's been a step change in the last couple of decades in the number and size of flooding events. But as you say, we're not really equipped for it. Preparedness always seems to get less resources thrown at it than disaster relief. We can shove the onus on land/property owners and insurers. Its cheaper for the authorities that way. Or that's the way it seems. |
Not wishing to contradict you, but the world in general is having less extreme weather events that it has in the past | | | |

Absolute horseschit!
Look up Atlantic hurricanes for one. Every couple of months the Beeb report another record high for temp or rainfall or some such event. |  |

Interesting first study. I don't know the science and, but it's worth noting that their modelled predictions do not agree with what has actually been recorded in the last few decades, e.g. as summarised in the latest National Climate Assessment report. https://nca2014.globalchange.gov/report/our-changing-climate/changes-hurricanes
Key Message 8: Changes in Hurricanes
The intensity, frequency, and duration of North Atlantic hurricanes, as well as the frequency of the strongest (Category 4 and 5) hurricanes, have all increased since the early 1980s. The relative contributions of human and natural causes to these increases are still uncertain. Hurricane-associated storm intensity and rainfall rates are projected to increase as the climate continues to warm.
The Forbes article is fundamentally flawed - it quotes one or two sources of localised information and then extrapolates as if it's some global truth. File under junk. The actual science shows a far more complex picture. |  | | |
