According to a report released by the U.N. natural weather disasters are on a rise due to climate change. They state that this climate change will lead to more extreme weather events such as large hurricanes and severe droughts. They believe that climate change is causing the long heat-waves and torrential rainfalls being experienced around the planet. The U.N. believes many low-lying states and countries are in danger of losing land as a result of rising sea levels brought on by climate change. This will lead to an increase in damage costs and potential deaths brought on by extreme storms or unusual weather patterns. The National Climate Data Center released a report that stated in the U.S, the cost of weather disasters has reached 50 billion dollars in 2011 alone. The U.N. states a major cause of the climate change is the large amounts of green house gases and air warming aerosols being used around the world.
