In The Age newspaper on 2 March in the 'Letters to the editor' section, it was represented that my comment, 'The evidence is clear, young Australians are living at time when they are safer from climate disasters than any at any time human history,' was made without any evidence in support of my statement. This is incorrect. My statement is in fact supported by evidence from the emergency events database, known as EM-DAT, from the Centre for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters located within the School of Public Health at the University of Louvain in Brussels, and my statement is further supported by analysis of that data by Professor Lomborg.
