This article by Lomborg is misleading and wrong. 1. Of course death from disasters decreased. We developed forecasts, the internet, health care, etc. 2. Despite all that, deaths increased from heat waves, what you might expect in a warmer climate.

It seems that no one here is reading this article. Unfortunately.

The ocean is full of every size & shape of plastic crap. That's not caused by the climate, it's because people are dirty bastards who'd cheerfully shit in their neighbour's goldfish pond if the gate was left open.

That is not correct. The improvement in readiness based on improved economic health is what has reduced these deaths. In Bangladesh the death tolls have plummeted not because of forecasting but because they are better prepared with better infrastructure

I think that was part of the “etc.” It adds to his point that it is not that there are fewer and smaller natural disasters.

Also more diseases carried by mosquitos which are moving north with the warmth. Crop failures from heat waves.

Yes. Its one thing to have the raw data. Something else entirely to interpret it.

Fortunately
@globeandmail also publish uplifting and forward looking articles on climate. Young people across the world hold the key to the future, and are demanding#ClimateAction at a far greater pace and level of priority than Bjorn wishes for them https://www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/article-this-is-our-future-coast-to-coast-portraits-of-students-at-the/ … -
We have far higher priorities as a society than long term climate change. That doesn’t mean climate change isn’t a problem, it simply means we can save more lives by focusing on problems we can solve now, and investing in low carbon energy such as nuclear for the longer term.
