USAID And CRED’s Disaster Report Features ‘Crudely Manipulated Data’

Bogoslof VolcanoThe Global Warming Policy Foundation has called on the Centre for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters (CRED) and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) to withdraw its fatally flawed 2022 Disasters in Numbers report.

The Centre for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters (CRED), together with the Université Catholique de Louvain (UCLouvain), and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), recently published their 2022 report on “Disaster in Numbers.” [emphasis, links added]

On its front cover, the report deceptively suggests that the 387 reported disasters, the loss of 30,704 lives, affecting 185 million individuals and causing economic damage of $223.8 billion are due to “climate in action” – although the report also covers earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, landslides, and wildfires.

The annual review of disasters of all kinds has been examined by extreme weather expert Dr. Ralph Alexander, who has published a strongly worded critique on his website.

Dr. Alexander notes that:

* Data has been crudely manipulated to suggest that there may be a hidden underlying increase in weather-related disasters

  • False claims are made on the basis of statistically invalid comparisons.

GWPF director Dr. Benny Peiser said:

“Dr. Alexander has shown that the authors of the latest ‘Disasters in Numbers’ report are bending over backward to support the climate-doom narrative when the data and trends of weather-related disasters are pointing in the opposite direction.

“The Catholic University and United States Agency for International Development (USAID) should be ashamed of what is appearing in their name. This publication is fatally flawed and should be withdrawn.”
