Sorry friends but it's true. Sure it's a bit more nuanced then death by fire or death by water. Globally in 2019 around 33,000-34,000 people are estimated to have died by fire. Where as tainted water has estimated to have killed over 3 million people a year, globally. Thats not including tsunamis, floods, or drowning.
This isn't really surprising though. There's waaaaaaaaay more water on the earth than fire. Also, every single human absolutely needs water to survive. Increasing the risk, in poor communities, of water posion. Fire is great for warmth, and may be a necessity in poorer countries. But in most wealthy nations, electric heaters are becoming more common. Yes I know there's still gas fired heaters, but they're dying out.
If anything, this goes to show how important clean water is.
Unscrupulous slander!
