a re-insurance company describes the increasing costs of storms and the threats that are posed by such increases. The first one they mention as the most expensive was an earthquake in Japan. The cost to human life example used was 3000 killed in floods in Bangladesh.

Although they do not try to link the earthquake to global warming, they do use it's cost as part of how expensive storms are.

3000 dead in Bangladesh from floods is a small number. There have been years where over a hundred thousand died. It is a backward country prone to massive flooding most every year. That is not global warming - that is the geography of the country and the people that stay even though they know they will flood every year and people will die every year.

There was a report written by a UN climatologist a few weeks back that said the average temperature increases that everyone has been using are wrong by more than half. That did not seem to make the news anywhere.

Has any "global warming is caused by humans" person advocated sterilization in countries that seem to pop out kids one after another? or perhaps eliminating people in those countries that really haven't progressed out of the stone age?

The backwards people that cut down the rain forests so they can make charcoal would be just as well taken out. Just eliminating them would save the rain forest and perhaps the planet.

If humans at 6 billion are causing runaway train global warming, then what will happen with 9 billion or 12 billion? It is not humans per se, it is the number of humans.

If the earth cannot sustain itself with humans at these levels then we will be thinned one way or another.

The US is blamed for global warming while China makes the old steel mills days in Pittsburgh look like nice sunny days. All the while Europe doesn't actually do anything, but they do trade "carbon credits" that are the made up bogus way of not doing anything and getting rewarded while they do it.

The earth will be fine. I swear everyday I think less of us humans though.
