Global Warming is Real - Newsroom: Bernie Sanders - U.S. Senator for Vermont
Sanders said strong action to cut emissions would generate substantial energy savings, create good-paying jobs and help the economy grow. The cost of doing nothing, Sanders added, is already mounting. According to the insurance industry, property damage from extreme weather increased in the United States from $3 billion a year in the 1980's to $20 billion a year today.
"Unlike Sen. Inhofe, most Americans are seeing the evidence of global warming with their own eyes," Sanders said.

Sanders's evidence is weak, and characteristically (for a politician) misleading. The insurance industry would only know about the INSURED-property damage over time, not the actual property damage. His assertion ignores the possibility that insurance against extreme weather events has increased over the years mentioned.
