And here, death risk per person, declining even more because population quadrupled over the same time periodhttps://twitter.com/BjornLomborg/status/1419352338221907969 …

Activists constantly talk about the deaths natural disasters inflict—but they never quite manage to total them up. That's because death tolls tell a very clear story: People are safer from climate-related disasters than ever before.

I’m old enough to remember when
@AlexEpstein highlighted this as one of the most powerful messages. -
Truth be told, the first time I saw the CRED EM-DAT data being used to highlight this amazing evolution in human society was in 2009 in this paper by Indur Goklany. I know that Alex used it as a reference, and am convinced that Bjørn did the same too. https://www.jpands.org/vol14no4/goklany.pdf …

They need to stop fosil fuels in order to raise the deaths by cold and hunger again.

That’s not the point and you know it.

So what is the point? Replace fossil fuels with unreliable alternatives risks reversing this astonishing decline in climate related deaths. Forego economic growth for a green alternative risks the 100’s of millions lifted out of extreme poverty being thrown back into its clutches

I can agree that alarmism can be damaging but don’t see the relationship between that and climate related deaths. The death risk could be decreasing due to access to information, social media, better meds, etc. It may not be related at all to the seriousness of the climate crisis

Adaptability is vastly (conveniently?) underrated.

This doesn't look right. I believe the downward trend is true because most people have far better housing than 100 years ago. But the look very low to be global.
