On term paper topics ...

Assume that global warming is impacting our storms, so that we have either more hurricane type storms or more intense ones over time. There is some evidence to this effect, so it's not an outrageous assumption.

So, if this is true .. what would be the impact on the global economy? Both short and long term. I mean, there's obviously horrible personal implications for thousands or millions of people who lose loved ones and/or everything they own. But in an academic sense, what about the economics? What happens to insurance rates world wide? To the price of lumber and other building materials? Are there any innovations likely to come out of it at all? Katrina started me thinking about this, to be honest, and my prof has agreed that in general it's a good topic to work on.

So, need to get some research done and start figuring out a hypothesis.

Any thoughts or ideas out there?
