A record number of billion-dollar weather disasters for so early in the year

The U.S. has already had five weather disasters costing more than a billion dollars this year, which has set a record for the most number of such disasters so early in the year. We've already beat the total for billion-dollar weather disaster for all of 2010 (three), and with hurricane season still to come, this year has a chance of beating 2008's record of nine such disasters. The billion dollar weather disasters of 2011 so far:

1) 2011 Groundhog Day's blizzard ($1 - $4 billion)
2) April 3 -5 Southeast U.S. severe weather outbreak ($2 billion)
3) April 8 - 11 severe weather outbreak ($2.25 billion)
4) April 25 - 28 super tornado outbreak ($3.7 - $5.5 billion)
5) Mississippi River flood of 2011 ($2+ billion)

Losses from the on-going Texas drought and wildfires are already at $180 million, and this is likely to be a billion-dollar disaster by the time all the agricultural losses are tallied.

Apparently we've reached a climate tipping point.

That's how ExxonMobil managed to lie to the public for 50 years while spending

billions on propaganda denying it --

All of this will continue to increase, not only in numbers but in severity --

by the time the public actually figures out how fatally they've been lied to it

will be too late.

This also includes not only increased numbers and severity of hurricanes, storms, cyclones,

tornadoes -- droughts/floods -- but earthquakes --

and earthquakes generate more volcanic activity --
