Selectively chosen isolated incidents or words do not necessarily accurately reflect the big picture.
From the Moderator of alternative View's endnote:
“One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we've been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We're no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It is simply too painful to acknowledge -- even to ourselves -- that we've been so credulous.” - Carl Sagan

This graph shows that deaths are down, not that there are a decrease in climate events. Consider the impact computers, satellites, and other technology have on predicting these events and giving people warnings. We now can send out weather warnings to everyone's phone, so even a tornado which might only have a 5 minute warning, we can have a much bigger impact. 5 minutes is plenty of time to get to the basement or other safe room, whereas if the warning were on TV you know many, many people would have never gotten it.
