When it comes to hurricanes in the U.S., large-scale trends are **t in our favor. In fact, unless action is taken to curb both
global warming and coastal development, the American eco**my may be set to take a perilous bashing from stronger storms, rising seas and too much high value, high-risk property lying in harms' way.*

Hurricane that strikes the eastern United States
could cause up to three times more eco**mic
damage than a
Hurricane that strikes today, climate researchers warn in a
new study.
