Politicians and media pundits say that natural disasters are a result of climate change and we need to adopt radical policies to combat them. But this framing tells only a small part of what is scientifically known.

Here is the data from Lancet on saved lives: Temperature increases from 2000-19 mean more heat death (116K), but also fewer cold deaths (283K) Global warming 𝘀𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀 166,000 lives each year https://thelancet.com/journals/lanplh/article/PIIS2542-5196(21)00081-4/fulltext … https://twitter.com/BjornLomborg/status/1418916412802965511 …pic.twitter.com/ETWS8ShG8p
And here are the number of people killed in climate-related disasters: Climate-related deaths have dropped 96-98% over the past century https://twitter.com/BjornLomborg/status/1419352336128950280 …pic.twitter.com/SosOmUa9Y0
Wow! Somebody actually doing some proper journalism rather than glibly reporting every weather event as 'climate change.' Plenty more to be unearthed in this area I believe.
Seems like massive pollution—especially plastics dumped into the environment/oceans—and resource depletion are a significantly bigger issue here and now than climate change that may or may not be an f(x) of ~8B humans
What we know is a drop; what we don't is ocean... Global cooling was in fashion; then came global warming... Earlier we spoke of butterfly flutter; now it is Lunar wobble... However, over time, science will know more.
Not investing in your waterworks is an obvious reason for having 'natural disasters'.

Climate change is real. That it is the consequence of HUMAN ACTIVITY is what remains to be proved. Very useful for creating "emergencies" that require huge amounts of fund$$ to prevent. "Emergency expenses": ideal politician's excuse to spend money and grab some in the process.
we need to adopt radical policies to combat them" Author Don Marquis once described how a colony of ANTS that had been obliterated by a cows foot were discussing the intentions of the gods toward their civilization and how to prevent that event from happening again.
