In your billion dollar weather disasters blog...I see the correction for cost of living/inflation to current date for the years since 1980. My question is did anyone go back and add the number of events that would have been included due to cost of living/inflation? In other words 1 billion in 1980 was a higher cost-bar to reach than it is today for an identical disaster. A correct comparison would be to count the number of said disasters relative to effective the same year loss value for all disasters in that year rather than just adjust the cost of billion dollar disasters already documented for any year.
