A new United Nations report on the Human Cost of Disasters has been described as “an embarrassment” and “a catalog of errors” after it emerged its headline claim of a “staggering rise in climate-related disasters” was refuted by its own data.
Within hours of its publication by the UN Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR), the report was being slammed for its misleading headlines and misuse of data.
“The report’s claim of an increase in climate-related disasters is an embarrassment,” said GWPF director Dr. Benny Peiser.
“The UNDRR’s own data shows that climate-related disasters have actually been declining for 20 years.”
And Professor Roger Pielke Jr, a US-based expert in natural disasters, also pointed out on Twitter that the UN was misusing the source data, which measures human impacts of natural disasters rather than natural disasters themselves.
“It’s a shambles; a catalog of errors,” said Dr. Peiser.
“The UN should withdraw the report immediately and apologize for misleading the public in this way.”

One is not expected to peruse the data, merely emote at the headline and vote accordingly.
The perfect catch phrase to engage the (young) leftist – “Emote’n’vote”. To the point and mathces their attention span lololol
The whole entire United Nations has beena disaster since it was created after the faileur of the League of Nations which America wanted no part of and therefore we need to dump the United Nations as well its all part of the Globalists plans
