"At no point in human history were people safer from climate disasters than today." Evidence please?

"The best way to help poor people, who are the most vulnerable to climate change, is to make them richer." How do you plan to make them richer? Write a letter to Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos asking them to donate their billions? Dig up more of our finite supply strategic minerals to prop up the economy in so-called "developing" nations? The laws of physics simply don't allow for endless GDP growth on a planet with finite resources.
