If 3947 (out of 29.6 million) Nepal riverbank inhabitants end up dying from a natural act of tectonic plates affecting glaciers at still freezing 17k feet, that will be proportional to the 1200 Israel lost on October 7th in its country of 9 million.
More critically, if Iran lost 65000 out of 90 million to IRGC killings or Israel lost a million to an Iranian nuke in a country with just 9 million...you can see how quickly warfare deaths are exponentially higher than any comparison to even the worst natural disasters.
Russia is losing 1000 casualties a day in Ukraine. They may have lost 20 million in WWII between Stalin & fighting the Allies.
Don't let anyone tell you climate change is existential or a more serious need than deterring war.
