Andrew Dessler, a climate scientist at Texas A&amp;M University, <u>likened <\/u>Wright\u2019s report on the impact of greenhouse gases to a \u201claw brief from attorneys defending their client, carbon dioxide,\u201d adding the report did not \u201cappear to be a fair assessment of the state of climate science.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/coasttocoastmoverss.com\/?p=556\">90-Degree Heat Expected For Trump\u2019s UFC Fight\u2014And Maybe Rain<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>What Else Did Wright\u2019s Report Say?<\/h2>\n<p>The report also alleges increased frequency or intensity of hurricanes is not supported by U.S. data and says links between extreme weather events to human CO2 emissions is \u201cchallenged by natural climate variability, data limitations, and inherent model deficiencies.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Key Background<\/h2>\n<p>A 2023 study cited by Yale Climate Connections found that as much as one-third of the U.S. population is expected to experience a one-in-100-year storm as often as three times in their lives, also noting extreme precipitation in nearly two-thirds of the continental U.S. has exceeded the national standard. The<u> EPA<\/u> has said multiple lines of evidence have proven changes to temperature and precipitation patterns, increases in ocean temperatures, the melting of glaciers and changes in the frequency, intensity, and duration of extreme weather. Homeowners in hurricane-prone states have continuously faced high insurance premiums even as the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration predicted a quiet storm season this year. Hurricane insurance pricing is driven by long-term <u>catastrophe modeling<\/u> which, instead of relying on historical data, estimates extreme losses for the future.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/coasttocoastmoverss.com\/?p=554\">FDA Warns Alli\u2014An Over-The-Counter Weight Loss Pill\u2014Could Cause Fatal Kidney Problems<\/a><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<h2>Further Reading<\/h2>\n<p><u>Most Americans Aren\u2019t Convinced Humans Are Causing Climate Change, New Data Shows <\/u>(Forbes)<\/p>\n<p><u>Fewer Hurricanes Are Forecast This Year\u2014Here\u2019s Why Your Insurance Bill Probably Won\u2019t Go Down<\/u> (Forbes)<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/coasttocoastmoverss.com\/?p=552\">Trump Says \u2018I Love The Inflation\u2019 After It Reaches 3-Year High<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Environmental Protection Agency has identified several lines of evidence that have shown there are more frequent and severe weather events.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":557,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-558","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
