Extreme weather events, including hurricanes, droughts and flooding, and wildfires, have been partly attributed to anthropogenic climate change  . Direct, indirect and non-market economic damages from extreme events have increased in some parts of North America . The number of extreme events with inflation- adjusted damages totalling more than 1 billion USD has risen in the USA over the past decades , and similar increases have been observed in Canada . Factors other than climate change, including increases in exposure and the value of the assets at risk, also explain increasing damage amounts . Climate change explains a portion of long-term increases in economic damages of hurricanes . Studies of US hurricanes since 1900 have found increasing economic losses that are consistent with an influence from climate change , although another study found no increase .
