Contrary To Fearmongering Headlines, Climate Disaster Deaths Just Hit A Record Low
The data doesn’t lie, even if the headlines do.

During the first half of 2025, a new record was set for the number of deaths caused by climate and weather disasters. Can you guess what that record was? [emphasis, links added]
If you read left-wing media sources and believe anything they say, you might think that the recent record has something to do with a large and growing number of deaths.
Recent articles by CNN, MSNBC, The New York Times, and CBS News all explicitly claim that climate change is making weather events “deadlier,” leading to an increasing number of deaths, or some variation of that same message.
I’m sure if you checked thirty such “mainstream” news sources over the past year, all thirty of which would have pieces parroting that same narrative.
