Catastrophe (or ‘cat’) models are essential tools for estimating losses from natural disasters. With the rise of climate risk management as a discipline in its own right, efforts are underway to harness these tools to guess the effects of human-induced warming on hurricanes, floods, storms, and other catastrophes. However, in the rush to develop effective climate risk analytics, we may be trying to force cat models to do things they weren’t designed to – and promoting a flawed way of thinking about
