The UNDRR report's Foreword and press release
were opposite the
report's own findings,
and spread panic when none was warranted...
Alarmist Fantasies Exposed - UN Gets Hit for Fraudulent, Misleading
Press Release on Natural Disasters
German
Die kalte Sonne site here
presents its latest video
on climate news:
Today we look at the
first part focusing on
the United Nations' assessment of "Human Costs of
Disasters".
It turns out the press release and the report's
Foreword were
misleading and alarmist without warrant. Once again it appears it
was all designed to spread panic...
UN claim -
"rise in disasters"
The
UNDRR report assessed climate disasters globally the last 20
years (2000 - 2019).
First we note the report's Foreword, where the UNDRR states there's
been a,
"staggering rise in
climate related disasters" and that industrial countries "are
failing miserably on reducing greenhouse gas emissions":
This dismal announcement
was also passed on to the media via press release and instantly the
media declared the end was nigh...
Reality - No rise in
disasters
Yet, Die kalte Sonne then shows Figure 5 of
the UNDRR report,
and it shows a totally different picture:
There's been no rise in
disasters from storms...
Figure 5 of UNDRR Report
Good news -
Downward trend!
Next Die kalte Sonne shows a chart with the earthquakes removed,
made by
Roger Pielke Jr., professor at the University of
Colorado.
Earthquakes have nothing
to do with climate and so a clearer picture of the climate and
weather impacts emerges.

Without earthquakes, the trend for "climate-related disasters" has
been clearly downward, dropping around 15%...
This is good news and is
not even remotely close to what was spread by the
lazy and
uncritical mainstream press.
The downward trend completely contradicts the claims made in the
report's Foreword and the UNDRR press release.

comments:
"It's still unclear
how this reporting failure by the UN came about. The error does
not reflect well on the quality assurance of UN reports."
