You're measuring adaptation, not hazard.
Climate deaths fell because we built early warning systems, evacuation networks, and emergency medicine, not because storms got weaker. CRED, whose data you use, has explicitly warned against this framing.
Polar bears recovered from the 1973 international hunting ban, not from a friendly Arctic. The 1960s baseline you cite wasn't a census; it was a guess. IUCN still lists them Vulnerable, and ice-dependent subpopulations are declining.
Global burned area fell because African savannas were converted to cropland. Forest burned area, the climate-relevant metric, has risen sharply. Canada 2023 set the all-time record.
Each of those numbers is a story about human capacity to cope with a worsening climate. Not evidence the climate isn't worsening.
Complacency is a worse policy adviser than panic.
An Inconvenient Truth for climate alarmists:
Al Gore’s dramatic climate warnings shaped a generation — but 20 years later, the data tell a very different story.
Climate-related deaths are down 97% over the past century, polar bears more than doubled since the 1960s, and global burned area has decreased by more than 25% over the past quarter century.
That's hardly a success of climate policy though: fossil fuels still provide 81% of world energy, emissions keep rising, and $16 trillion spent on green policies since Gore's movie came out hasn’t changed the trajectory.
A good reminder that panic is a terrible policy adviser.
