EmpiricalRequires evidence

Part I understates its own point by a factor of about ten. It says man-made risk outweighs natural risk by a factor of 100, so 99% of the risk to humanity comes from humanity. Ord states the comparison himself: he estimates anthropogenic risks to be more than 1,000 times more likely than natural risks, putting total natural risk at around 1 in 10,000 against total human-made risk of around 1 in 6. So the human-made share is over 99.9%. The corrected line is shorter and stronger than the original: Ord puts human-made risk at more than a thousand times natural risk.
