Climate Expert Reveals Latest Scandal Tied To Billion-Dollar Disasters
Activist group Climate Central revives controversial Billion-Dollar Disasters project amid fresh controversy.

Like a zombie, the so-called “billion-dollar disasters” (BDD) tabulation is back. This week, the advocacy group Climate Central announced that it was the new home of the effort, formerly housed at the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). [emphasis, links added]
To much fanfare and media attention, Climate Central released its supposedly newly tabulated numbers for 2025 to date.
Remarkably, the shenanigans associated with the BDD are apparently continuing, as documented in this post. Fool me once…
Before getting to the shenanigans, let me emphasize that Climate Central is a proper home for “billion-dollar disasters,” because the tabulation has always been about promoting climate activism in the guise of science-like numbers.
