Government Halts Tracking of Extreme Weather Costs

The U.S. government will no longer monitor the financial impacts of extreme weather events costing over one billion dollars.

This decision eliminates a crucial data source for insurers, scientists, and policymakers involved in disaster preparedness and mitigation.

The absence of this information will hinder efforts to understand the increasing frequency and severity of these disasters.

This action, part of a broader trend, raises concerns about the administration's commitment to climate change research.
