The risk of dying from climate-related disasters has declined precipitously
As the global population quadrupled over the century, the risk declined by 99% from the 1920s to the 2010s
A spectacular 99.4% reduction from 1920s to 2022

It is well-known that climate-related deaths are declining for almost all categories for both rich and poor countries because of higher wealth
Shouldn't we be told, rather than reporting on individual events, designed to scare kids and adults alike?

We are constantly told how 'humanity is careering towards climate breakdown' as shown by Pakistan and other catastrophes

Many misuse global disaster statistics to tell us: more and more disasters
No, more 𝗿𝗲𝗴𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱 disasters, but 𝗳𝗲𝘄𝗲𝗿 very deadly ones
First 1-death disaster registered in 1963
Clearly, many before, but unregistered
Now: super-common

Despite the implication of this data set, the religion of #ClimateChange grows in influence.
In the United States, it is fast becoming the state religion with the creation of the Climate Security Advisory Council (CSAC) by law on 12/20/2019.

Well, this is inconvenient. Obviously, gross climate misinformation-reducing chart.

We need to start statistics on people dying as a result of fear. Will probably correlate nicely with the rise of Radio and Television. Internet has also fueled a lot of it. Like Covid, we need to measure the number people dying of any cause with fear.🤣🤣🤣🤣
