It’s Whack-A-Mole Time!
A disaster-weary planet will be hit even harder in the years to come by more disasters in an interconnected world, a United Nations report released Monday said. know.
If current trends continue, the world will go from about 400 disasters per year in 2015 to around 560 disasters per year by 2030, the scientific report of the United Nations. United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction speak. Comparing 1970 to 2000, the world suffered only 90 to 100 medium to large-scale disasters each year, the report said.
The number of extreme heat waves by 2030 will be three times that of 2001 and there will be 30% more droughts, the report predicts. It’s not just natural disasters amplified by climate changethat is COVID-19economic recession and food shortages. Climate change has a large influence on the number of disasters, the report authors say.
The UN report mentioned is completely deceitful. Here is the key chart from the United Nations Press Release:

They claim that the trend has been increasing since the 1970s, while miraculously there seems to be almost no disaster!
In fact, the table from the fact report makes it clear that the actual number of natural disasters has decreased since 2000, a fact that renders the projected 40% increase by 2030 meaningless:

But why the rapid increase since 1970?
We have been on this road before. Data comes from EM-DAT International disaster database. They only started publishing data in 1998, and in 2004 warned that previous data was incomplete:
In other words, most disasters have simply never been officially recorded before the year 2000. To put it into perspective, the EM-DAT defines a disaster as follows:

How many disasters were officially recorded by the UN or any other international body 50 years ago, when the threshold was so low? Indeed, many much larger disasters did not appear in the EM-DAT during those early years, such as the flooding of the Red River Delta in Vietnam, which killed an estimated 100,000 people in 1971:

However, EM-DAT completely ignores this flood:

Every year the UN publishes a fraud report like this one. And every year it is faithfully reported by the media, who have no interest in telling the public the actual truth.
