The frequency of recorded natural disasters has increased significantly since the onset of anthropogenic climate change.
Evidence supports the claim that recorded climate-related extreme events and natural disasters have increased significantly in frequency alongside anthropogenic climate change.
The retrieved papers provide robust, multi-faceted empirical support showing that extreme weather events, storm surges, and climate-related disasters have increased significantly and are linked to anthropogenic climate change. None of the papers refute the claim.
