At Der Spiegel Axel Bojanowski writes a story about a study appearing in the journal Climate Change: A 101 year record of windstorms in the Netherlands.

The results of the study are revealing. Let us recall that in Germany and within many circles of “experts” the prevailing wisdom is that man-made global warming is leading to more frequent and more severe storms. However, this new study shows that this is a myth. The study’s abstract concludes:
The Netherlands is currently experiencing the minimum aggregate storm damage of the past 100 years, though only slightly lower than a quiet period of 50 years ago.”
Gee whizz. I’m going to buy an aerodrome in Holland.
