Severe thunderstorms in the first half of 2023 caused a record amount in insured losses, underscoring the impact of climate change on extreme weather events, according to new research for the Swiss Re Group.

A recent report from the group found severe thunderstorms in the first six months of the year caused $34 billion in damages, the highest insured losses ever recorded in a six-month period. Ten events prompted losses of $1 billion and more each, compared to an annual average of six events during the past 10 years. The most affected state was Texas, the report found.

Gee, inflation has nothing to do with the "record cost".

All weather is local.

Our rural area got hit by a fairly rare hail storm last year that caused "record" damage.

Last winter was mild and this summer has been very nice.

Moderate to cool temps, but a little dry.

In other words..."normal".

More people. More stuff. Communist monetary policy. Once we are gone the planet will hardly notice.

Some of you may think that this is a bunch of B.S. But before you brush it aside give it some thought.
The 3600 year signature cycle

In the event you happen to be one of those people who have been wondering about some of the strange weather patterns, not just locally but also world wide, comprised of flooding, draughts as well as an increase in earthquakes, volcanic eruptions etc. The following may provide you with some of the answers as once again we are approaching the 3600 signature cycle which slowly and deceptively continues to unfold.

As this cycle progresses and slowly unfolds unfortunately it is accompanied with floods, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, bugs and pests as well as crazy unseasonable weather patterns. And the chances for humans to stop or avert any of this are pretty slim to none as this appears to be a re-occurring natural event or cycle. And even if all the politicians stand on their heads, as well as throwing money at what is conceived erroneously as a problem created by humans, what it is not, it would not change a thing.
Just take the ever increasing number of earthquakes worldwide, which are part of this repetitive cycle, even in the wildest imagination it would be difficult to make a correlation between it and anything related to global warming.

At least for now and until the general public becomes knowledgably enough and realizes what the real causes are behind some of these events, ignorant politicians will milk these perceived causes for climate change or global warming for all its worth, in order to extract more taxes from the general public under the guise to fight man made global warming or climate change. Humans could not do anything about it one way or another even if they tried.

More signs and events of things to come are part of the 3600 signature cycle as it is unfolding world wide. About 3600 plus or minus years ago similar events gave the then ancient Egyptian Pharaoh Thutmose an Excedrin headache and just about drove him bananas, better known as the TEN PLAGUES, eventually resulting in the release or expulsion of the Israelis from bondage as they, or good old MOSES used these events to their advantage by threatening that there would be more to come unless they would be released.

This event went down in history as the Biblical EXODUS. The catch is that these events were not just limited to ancient Egypt at the time, as we scan ancient, available and somewhat scarce records from this period we will find that ancient China was plagued with very similar events and disasters.

Just for interest sake about the same time 1500 BC or approximately close to 3600 years ago,1500 BC + 2023AD= 3523 approx. the time of the EXODUS the volcano located on the island of Thera located in the Mediterranean blew up with the estimated force of about 40 (forty) nuclear bombs, permanently re-arranging the Mediterranean, forming the Santorini Archipelago. At the time turning days into night, also affecting Egypt with pumice from the eruption found there as well.

So far being located in the upper Midwest, overall we have remained pretty well unscathed aside from some flooding her and there. Let us hope it will remain this way. At the same time it will be worthwhile to remember that some of these cycles may be more destructive than others, quite well described by Emmanuel Velikovsky.

On the other hand you may want to keep in mind that there has been a steady increase in earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, flooding all over as well as one season running into one another along with crazy weather patterns WORLDWIDE. All this just doesn’t happen without a reason and global warming supposedly caused by humans is positively not one of them..

Sorry. Already posted. The Narcisstic Marxist left think they can stop volcanos.

***underscoring the impact of climate change on extreme weather events,***

So, what caused the severe weather outbreak in 1974 when it was THE COMING ICE AGE that had people in a tizzy?

I bet the weather men are waiting for all us oldsters to die off so we cannot bring up memories of horrifying weather conditions in the past.

Record property losses... but it has nothing to do with everything costing more.
