Yes, it\u2019s the new Disaster Report from the CRED.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In true BBC fashion, they would like you to think that weather disasters have never been as bad, all due to global warming of course!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

But dip deeper into their report and you find that annual deaths last year were well below the 20 year average:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Even after excluding deaths from earthquakes, which obviously skews the numbers because of the 2004 Tsunami, the 2024 death rate has still halved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the longer term, of course, modern day deaths from disasters are a tiny fraction of the past:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In terms of economic losses, 2024 showed a slight increase over some recent years, but the trend in real terms is if anything downwards:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While CRED\u2019s glossy report is eye catching, they could have published something similar for any other year in the past you can think to name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
