Russian disinformation videos push lies on voter fraud and immigrants

Moscow has famously meddled in presidential elections before, but this time it has refined its focus on amplifying domestic narratives of disarray.

The Washington Post

One important factor missing in analyses such as this is how improved weather forecasting and communication save lives and help protecting properties. This factor will counter other factors such as increased wealth and population. Another factor is whether there have been such big demographic and economic changes over the last 10 years that can explain the dramatic rise in costs since 2014...
