Media Silent On UN Chief’s False Claim Weather Disasters Up 500% In 50 Years

antonio guterresLast September, the United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres claimed climate, weather, and water-related disasters had increased by 500% over the last 50 years. According to the political and environmental science writer Professor Roger Pielke Jr, this is “pure misinformation.”

He goes on to suggest that “you will never find a more obvious and egregious wrong claim in public discussions from a more important institution.”


Matters were made even worse, in Pielke’s view, because the false notion was “legitimized” by none other than the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO), one of the founding bodies of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. [emphasis, links added]

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
