Climate crisis: Pacific Island leaders press rich nations for access to low-cost funding

Pacific Island leaders are calling out rich nations for not doing enough to mitigate climate change in Asia and the Pacific region. They are demanding greater access to zero-interest funding for mitigating the impact of climate change, which they say is largely caused by emissions by developed nations. The appeal came at a UN climate change forum in Thailand.

Using data from the JMA 1951-2022 we see typhoon activity trending downwards for over 7 decades. Globally the ACE index (accumulated cyclone energy) 1980-2021 shows no increasing trend. Global Hurricane Landfalls 1970-2021 (updated from Weinkle et al, 2012) shows no trend. Satellite data since 1980 shows a slight downward global trend for total hurricaine numbers with 2021 being a record low year.
There is evidence cited in AR6 (IPCC) that Australia is experiencing the lowest frequency of tropical cyclones in the last 550 to 1, 500 years, so they are talking b0ll0cks.
