In fact, the World Meteorological Organization’s “ Atlas of Mortality and Economic Losses from Weather, Climate and Water Extremes (1970-2019) ” shows a slight decrease in the number of weather disasters over the last decade and a major decrease in weather-related deaths over a half-century time period.
That’s all the more encouraging given the number of weather-related disasters to hit the world has increased five-fold over the past 50 years, according to the WMO report.
The planet shook with 711 weather disasters between 1970 and 1979, growing to 3,536 from 2000 to 2009, per the report, before dropping marginally to 3,165 in the decade beginning in 2010.
This overall uptick in the number of weather disasters has not translated into more deaths; quite the opposite, it turns out.
Advances in early warning systems and disaster management have resulted in a dramatic decline in fatalities caused by inclement weather.
According to WMO data, deaths fell over that same 50-year timespan from 50,000 in the 1970s to 20,000 in the 2010s.

During the 1970s and 1980s, there were approximately 170 reported related deaths per day, a figure that continued to fall in the 2010s to 40 related deaths a day.
The vast majority of those deaths occurred — and continue to occur — in the developing world, the report found.“The good news is that we have been able to minimize the amount of casualties once we have started having [a] growing amount of disasters: heat waves, flooding events, drought and especially …intense tropical storms like Ida, which has been hitting recently Louisiana and Mississippi in the United States,” WMO Secretary-General Petteri Taalas said at a Wednesday news conference .His comments were echoed by another U.N. official.“More lives are being saved thanks to early warning systems, but it is also true that the […]

We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today. It isn’t easy for obvious reasons; despite incredible growth over the last year we are still a very tiny fish in a huge media pond. But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our Substack page. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
