Bjorn Lomborg he is anything but a dangerous “sovereignist” or “climate denier”. Environmentalists, Greens, homosexuals, progressives, vegetarians, the Danish scientist has dismantled all of that in one last thread posted on twitter, the cataclysmic narrative of the climatically correct that spawned the Greta Thunberg phenomenon, alongside radical acronyms like Extinction Rebellion and Ultima Generazione. As the Lomborg study explains, bucking the alarming trend prevailing in the world of science and media, the death toll from climate-related disasters has fallen precipitously since 1920% less than a century ago. Wealthier, more resilient societies reduce deaths from disasters,” Lomborg wrote. “Why isn’t this reported? On the contrary, the media continues to talk about climate catastrophes while we see “a spectacular 99.4% reduction in climate-related deaths from the 2020s by 2022,” the scientist noted. Yes, why is this “detail” never mentioned and we are told that the planet will collapse due to climate change?
Danish scientist disassembles Greta’s eco bale
Given the media barrage we’ve seen in relation to the climate catastrophe for years, it’s hard to believe Lomborg’s words. But the data is clear.” In the 1920s, the number of deaths from climate-related disasters averaged 485,000 a year. Over the last decade (2010-2019), the average was 18,362 deaths per year, or 96.2% less,” the scholar noted. So the trend is steadily declining. Indeed, in 2021, climate-related deaths fell again to 7,705, or 98.4% fewer than in 1920. “For 2022, which is now over, we see the continuation of this very low number of deaths: 11,873, which is 97.6% fewer equates to deaths than the average in the 1920s,” the researcher pointed out. It is true that some major climate disasters occurred in 2022, hence the slight increase compared to 2021.
However, Lomborg notes that of the first two, the deadliest, it is very likely that few have heard of them in the press: we are talking about a famine that killed 2,465 people Ugandalast July, and then the heavy rains that killed 2,035 people India during summer. “The Complete List of Deadly Disasters [nel 2022] it has 219 other entries, all disasters, all terrible. In summary, however, much, much lower than it used to be,” the researcher wrote.

According to the Danish researcher, the data comes from “the most authoritative global database, the International Disaster Database”. Whether it’s floods, droughts, storms, fires or extreme temperatures, “about 98% fewer people died in 2022 than a hundred years ago,” the researcher continued in a Facebook post. “Climate-related deaths are known to be declining in almost all categories, in both rich and poor countries.” There is only one category of climate-related deaths that has increased in recent years, and it is related to heat waves. “We are constantly told that humanity is heading for climate collapse, as Pakistan and other disasters have shown – without telling us: deaths down by 99% and more,” wrote Lombrog. “Children and adults are afraid. No, that’s not a good way of informing us.”
Lomborg is certainly not the first scientist to defy the climate catastrophe narrative, which has become a truly undeniable religion, an undeniable dogma on the altar of “scientific truth.” Among the internationally renowned scientists who have challenged the only thought on climate are Franco Prodi, brother of former Prime Minister Romano Prodi, as well as physicist, meteorologist, professor at the University of Ferrara and former director of the Institute of Atmospheric and Climate Sciences of Ferrara of the CNR, Professor of Physical Chemistry at the University of Modena Franco Battaglia and the physique Antonino Zichichi. What is at issue, it should be emphasized, is not so much the climatic changes themselves as their cause, since the anthropogenic origin of global warming is inferred only from some climate models, which are far from a certain and indisputable truth. And then it would really be like putting an end once and for all to catastrophism, which, as Lomborg explains, is not correct information but only pernicious alarmism.
