So we can say broadly that extreme weather is becoming more likely and more extreme in a warmer world. That's according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is where the world's scientists get together and produce gold standard research and publication.

But we did have this major scientific breakthrough two decades ago where scientists began to attribute climate change to a specific weather event. And when you look at it today, they roll out these studies within a few days of a hurricane. I remember Hurricane Beryl, you know, results came out. I think it was just five days after it made landfall about a

how much rainfall was made worse by climate change. And it's really interesting how scientists do this work. There's one particularly prominent group called the World Weather Attribution. They're based at Imperial College London. And I caught up with their lead scientist. She's one of the pioneers of this kind of work, Dr. Freddie Otto, on exactly how they do this.

Perhaps they don't have insurance on their home or life savings and they can be left destitute afterwards, especially in places like Bangladesh, where perhaps you can't take your cows or your chickens, your way of life and the way you earn money into a cyclone shelter. But if you want to put a number on it, the International Chamber of Commerce commissioned a report on the cost of weather.

Do you want to have a guess, Alex, at what that figure might be for the last decade?

Yeah, it's two trillion US dollars in the decade leading up to 2024. I mean, the US saw the greatest losses followed by China and India. But I mean, two trillion dollars. Yes, it sounds like a lot. But actually, there are so many things that we cannot quantify, like the loss of entire ecosystems or even loss of life. And that loss of life is going to be big.
