Think of it this way — if there is no chance of observing the effects of changes in PDI in the global impacts record for 50 years (Emanuel's estimate) and over that same time period we expect damage to increase in real terms by up to a factor of 32 (a real doubling in damages every 10 - 15 years), then I think that it is safe (and also responsible) to assert that over that time period the only policies that can have a discernable effect on tropical cyclone damage around the world will necessarily be adaptive.
