Lomborg: We’re Safer From Climate-Related Disasters Than Ever Before
Activists constantly talk about the existential threat climate change poses and the deaths natural disasters inflict—but they never quite manage to total up these deaths. (bold added)
One reason is that it’s easier to bend the data about disaster frequency than to bend death statistics. Death tolls tell a very clear story: People are safer from climate-related disasters than ever before.
As this series of articles has covered already, many of the fearful descriptions you hear of souped-up hurricanes, heatwaves, and wildfires aren’t accurate. And estimates of costly but increasingly frequent climate damages are typically designed to mislead.
