Fewer and fewer people die from climate-related natural disasters.
This is even true of 2022 — despite breathless climate reporting. About 98% fewer people died in 2022 than a hundred years ago from climate-related natural disasters like floods, droughts, storms, and wildfires.
Why is this consistently not reported? Over the past hundred years, annual climaterelated deaths have declined by more than 98%. In the 1920s, the death count from climate-related disasters was 485,000 on average every year. In the last full decade, 2010-2019, the average was 10,949 dead per year, or 97.7% lower.
