    Quoting made up numbers from NOAA, a government agency. The 'costs' are not even clearly defined what they might entail, nor is 'disaster' defined.

    You can change the type of disasters that are graphed to just weather disasters or to all disasters or by other categories.
    You are free to present another source that contradicts my source. Simply saying my source doesn't say what I said it does means nothing unless you present the correct information from my source.
    Yet another justification for random numbers used as data. Holy Link Wars are really a pretty lame way to go. In this case, Poor Richard Saunders is attempting to force a negative proof, which is a fallacy. No data needs to be presented to counter random numbers or any other claim to data. Data is not a proof. If someone doesn't believe the 'data', no amount of claiming it's a 'fact' is going to change that. Rather than justifying the data by describing who collected it, when it was collected, how it was collected, for what purpose it was collected, and the raw data itself, he just simply claims the data is a Holy Proof, rather than the random numbers it is.

    Quite true. The National Geographic Society's original mission was to expose readers of the magazine to other cultures and places. There is a reason it became as big as it is. It has, of course, lost that focus, and is concentrating more on eco stories, and it losing readership fast.

    Destroying the once great organization just as so many people are getting motivated to "save the planet" not easy to do, but these fools managed.
    I quite agree. It's sad what's happened to the National Geographic Society.

    Something went wrong in the 80's and 90's....I used to know but no longer remember....but I do recall that I decided it was mismanagement.
    This illegal illegitimate regime that runs America is at fault...not me.... they do not represent me and I have long objected to their crimes against humanity.
