The newly revived U.S. climate disaster database — once dismantled by Donald Trump — has revealed a staggering truth: the United States has suffered record economic losses from climate-linked disasters in 2025. Floods, wildfires, and storms have each cost billions, signaling how the climate crisis, driven by fossil-fuel greed and policy denial, is intensifying worldwide. For India, this is a mirror — from Assam’s flash floods to Himachal’s landslides, the same corporate-led climate chaos unfolds. Yet governments continue to greenlight coal mines, highways through fragile forests, and real-estate projects over wetlands. The U.S. data warns us: delay is death, and denial is destruction.
