Folks, nature is telling us something. How many "100-year" storms or "1,000-year" floods will it take for us to listen? Humans have boosted the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere by a shocking 40 percent since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, when we started burning fossil fuels on a large scale.

You are confusing correlation and causation.
Yes...the storms ARE more "expensive" because there are MORE people living along the coasts AND the price of that real estate has skyrocketed.
The storms are really about the same. The strongest hurricane ever (recorded) was Wilma in 2005....over 12 years ago. The next strongest, Gilbert in 1988 and then the next strongest the "Labor Day" storm of 1935. The numbers aren't really increasing either. Nothing much is happening storm wise.
Nature is telling us...inflation is a b!tch...!
The earth has been continuously warming over the last 10,000 years. Our "civilization" has existed for only a brief moment when all of geologic time is taken into account.
You're being suckered AGAIN. Religion...equality...global warming is man made...what's next? Nuclear war "for our safety"?
CO2 as a greenhouse gas...contributes less than 1%. It's NOTHING in the grand scheme of things...other than the scheme to get more of our money.
