'If it seems like more weather-related natural disasters are happening, that's because they are.
According to the United Nation’s World Meteorological Organization, the number of these disasters has increased fivefold over the past four decades.
The WMO just published its Atlas study, a comprehensive survey of weather disasters, including floods, storms and heatwaves. They note that weather disasters have resulted in over two million deaths and $3.64 trillion in losses.
“The number of affected people in economic loss is getting higher and higher because of the increase in frequency and intensity of extreme weather events,” Mami Mizutori, of the United Nations Disaster Risk Reduction agency, points out.'
