A new report from the Red Cross, which alleges a 35% increase in the number of climate and weather-related disasters since 1990, was today slammed for misleading the public.
According to GWPF director, Dr. Benny Peiser, climate-related disasters have actually declined by 15% in the last 20 years.
“The authors of the Red Cross report have used the EM-DAT dataset which shows a significant decline in climate-related disasters since 2000. It is generally acknowledged that the dataset is unreliable before 2000.
“In fact, the Red Cross’s own report documents a pronounced decline in climate and weather-related disasters since that time, so they have grossly misled the public,” Dr. Peiser said.
Any credible assessment of the link between global warming and natural disasters should also highlight the remarkable decline in the number of people dying from climate disasters, showing a sharp and continuing decline in the last 100 years, despite the rise in global temperatures.
This is the second major report that has led to allegations of deception. Just six weeks ago the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR) was publicly humiliated when its report was accused of using the same unethical tricks to make claims of increasing climate disasters.
Remarkably, UNDRR is one of the sponsoring organizations of the Red Cross report.
“This is another intercontinental shambles,” said Dr. Peiser.
“The Red Cross should withdraw its report or face accusations of using unethical practices to mislead the public.”

Red Cross needs to tell the truth and reject this Global Warming/Climate Change scam
Is this really the Red Cross the charity? If so this really answers a lot of questions as to where the huge amounts of ‘missing money’ goes. Here in Australia in the last few years during fires and flooding, including last year’s huge fires vast amounts of money was given to help the victims. Very little seems to have been disbursed to the needy and Red Cross is one of the charities called into question. Seemingly what was paid out was a pittance of what was allocated to that organisation. Their response: keeping it in kitty for future disasters. Now they are into the climate change fraud. Guess we now know where the money goes…chasing the fantasy!
May 21, 1881: Clara Barton and associates establish the American Red Cross.
The ceremony was attended by several Republican politicians, zero Democrats.
Clara Barton is pinning in her grave the Red Cross buying into a total Hoax and Global Warming/Climate Change is the biggist scam in the entire history of all mankind
