1. They are calling a wildfire an "extreme weather event" which is dubious as weather is only a contributing factor here

2. Of that $100 billion, $60 billion is from the LA wildfire, so this number is extremely outlier driven

3. There are no inflation adjustments or tests of statistical significance in their claims that damage from extreme weather is rapidly increasing over time
