trích dẫn hôm nay… is from page 73 of the 2021 updated version of Bjorn Lomborg's 2020 book, False Alarm: How Climate Change Panic Costs Us Trillions, Hurts the Poor, and Fails to Fix the Planet (original emphasis):


[D]eaths caused by climate-related disasters (thảm họa liên quan tới khí hậu) have declined precipitously (dốc đứng, dốc ngược) over the past century. In the 1920s, these disasters killed almost half a million people each year, mostly in large floods and droughts in developing countries. Today the total number of climate-related deaths across the world has declined to fewer than twenty thousand each year. Over the past hundred years, the number of deaths from these climate-related catastrophes (thảm họa) has plummeted (lao dốc) by 96 percent. Remember that over the same time period, the global population has increased fourfold. So the average personal risk of dying in a climate-related disaster has declined by 99 percent.
