Those events are becoming more frequent or severe as the planet grows hotter, although not all disasters are linked to climate change.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">It\u2019s the latest effort from the Trump administration to restrict or eliminate climate research. In recent weeks the administration has <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/04\/28\/climate\/national-climate-assessment-authors-dismissed.html\" title=\"\">dismissed the authors working on the nation\u2019s biggest climate assessment<\/a>, planned to <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/05\/07\/climate\/trump-park-service-grants-cuts.html\" title=\"\">eliminate National Parks grants<\/a> focused on climate change, and released a budget plan <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/live\/2025\/05\/02\/us\/trump-budget-2026#trumps-plan-proposes-sweeping-cuts-to-climate-and-renewable-energy-programs\" title=\"\">that would cut significantly climate science<\/a> from the U.S. Geological Survey and the Energy and Defense departments.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Researchers and lawmakers criticized Thursday\u2019s decision.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Jesse M. Keenan, associate professor and director of the Center on Climate Change and Urbanism at Tulane University in New Orleans, said ending the data collection would cripple efforts by federal and state governments to set budgets or make decisions on investment in infrastructure.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIt defies logic,\u201d he said. Without the database, \u201cthe U.S. government\u2019s flying blind as to the cost of extreme weather and climate change.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/markey.senate.gov\/post\/3looe2tg6gk2c\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">a comment on Bluesky<\/a>, Senator Ed Markey, Democrat of Massachusetts, wrote \u201cIt\u2019s anti-science, anti-safety, and anti-American.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Few institutions can duplicate the kind of information provided by the database, said Virginia Iglesias, a climate researcher at the University of Colorado. \u201cIt\u2019s one of the most consistent and trusted records of climate-related economic loss in the country,\u201d she said. \u201cThe power of the database lies in its credibility.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">So-called billion-dollar disasters \u2014 those with costs that balloon to seven figures are more \u2014 have been increasing over time. In the 1980s, when the record begins, there were just over three per year, on average, when adjusted for inflation. For the period from 2020 to 2024, the average was 23 per year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In total, at least 403 such events have occurred in the United States since 1980. Last year there were 27, a tally second only to 2023 (which had 28).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Last year\u2019s disasters included hurricanes Helene and Milton, which together caused about $113 billion in damages and more than 250 deaths, a severe hailstorm in Colorado that caused about $3 billion in damages and a yearlong drought across much of the country that caused $5 billion in damages and claimed the lives of more than 100 people from heat exposure.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">NOAA\u2019s National Centers for Environmental Information <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nesdis.noaa.gov\/about\/documents-reports\/notice-of-changes\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">plans to stop<\/a> tracking these billion-dollar disasters in response to \u201cevolving priorities, statutory mandates, and staffing changes,\u201d the agency said in an email.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">When asked, the agency did not say whether another branch of NOAA or federal agency would continue tracking and publicly reporting the price tag of such disasters. The announcement said the agency would make archived data from 1980 to 2024 available. But the dollar amount of disasters from 2025 on, such as the Los Angeles wildfires and their <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.anderson.ucla.edu\/about\/centers\/ucla-anderson-forecast\/economic-impact-los-angeles-wildfires\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">estimated billions of dollars of damage<\/a>, would not be tracked and reported to the public.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cYou can\u2019t fix what you don\u2019t measure,\u201d said Erin Sikorsky, the director of The Center for Climate and Security. \u201cIf we lose this information about the costs of these disasters, the American people and Congress won\u2019t know what risks climate is posting to our country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Other institutions or agencies would likely be unable to duplicate the data collection because it includes proprietary insurance information that companies are cautious to share, Ms. Sikorsky said. \u201cIt\u2019s a pretty unique contribution.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion
