We Worry About The Seemingly Ever-increasing Number Of Natural Catastrophes. Yet This Is Mainly A Consequence Of Cnn - We See Many More, But The Number Is Roughly Constant, And We Manage To Deal Much Better With Them Over Time. Globally, The Death Rate From Catastrophes Has Dropped About Fifty-fold Over The Past Century.
