Weather Report

Weather is not getting worse:

The capacity to recorded natural disasters has obviously grown since 1900, particularly with the advent of a large number of satellites from the 1970s onwards. In fact, the compilers of the database make this very clear: “In the meantime, communication technologies have improved, with the first personal computers and satellites appearing in the 1970s and the advent of the World Wide Web in the 1990s. Technologies and initiatives can be considered responsible for the dominant trend observed.” This hugely important caveat is ignored by the UNDRR, which is why I would claim that its intention was to deceive, since there is no way that its researchers and officials were unaware of this caveat when including their chart in the Our World at Risk report. Another key fact that UNDRR ignores is that the total loss of life from natural disasters has rapidly decreased from levels seen in the early 20th century. In fact, the average annual loss of life in 2020 to 2023 is at the lowest level recorded since 1900.

Don't mention the facts...
