The database allows taxpayers, media and researchers to track the cost of natural disasters, largely through property losses — spanning extreme events from hurricanes to hailstorms. It has been especially useful for the insurance and real estate industries and has been a way for the public to track the effects of fossil fuels on extreme weather and climate events. The Trump administration halted the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s tracking of that data set in May.\" (CNN Wire Service) Learn more about Climate Central database.
