Causes of Death in 1900 vs. Today: One Chart Puts Firearms & Natural Disasters Threat in Perspective

Causes of Death in 1900 vs. Today: One Chart Puts Firearms & Natural Disasters Threat in Perspective
......In light of the federal government’s drive to enforce stricter environmental regulations for the reason of combatting man-made “climate change,” it should be said that 98% fewer people are dying from extreme weather events or natural disasters than in the 1920s. 
Extreme weather events currently comprise about 0.07% of all fatalities globally.

We’re also being told about the danger posed by law-abiding citizens possessing firearms.
But where is that threat on this chart?
Let me help you: It’s not there.

.....Since we live in a nation where many don’t get enough exercise and many eat a lot of fatty foods, a lot of people are dying from not moving around enough and/or eating too much food.
Want to talk about “first world problems.”
There’s been hysteria about guns, natural disasters, non-organic foods, vaccinations, SARS (oh wait, that was a few years ago), pig flu (off again, shoot), killer bees, hysteria about hysteria – it has been getting really ugly out there.
We would never accuse bureaucrats or the media of drumming up public paranoia just for more taxpayer bucks or to boost political authority. 
Let’s just say their “awareness raising” lacks context.
