Global sea level change from 1880 to 2010: no acceleration of the rise
weather) has steadily declined since the 1930s, as the following graph shows (https://ourworldindata.org/natural-disasters). The deadliest floods were in 1931 (up to 4 million deaths), 1887 (up to 2 million), 1938 (more than 500 thousand), 1975 (229,000), and 1935 (145,000). The last prominent peak in the graph of natural disasters in 1983 represents the approximately 450,000 deaths caused by the drought in the Sahel region, caused by the drop in temperature in the North Atlantic region from the 1950s to the early 1980s. An even greater catastrophe threatens if temperatures in the North Atlantic region decline again in the next 10 to 20 years, because the population in the Sahel has now more than tripled. And what is the situation in Europe or North America? Many more people die every winter than in summer, even in years without a strong wave of influenza. Warmer is better!
Fortunately, there are also positive things to report. The average life expectancy has increased globally from 28 to 73 years since 1798, when Thomas Malthus wrote his essay about overpopulation (left graph on next page, from https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/life-expectancy? time=earliest..latest&country=~OWID_WRL. What does this graph remind us of? Exactly. Of the increase in CO2 concentration in the atmosphere (right graph, https://structureoftheearthscience.weebly.com/most-affected-sphere.html):
This is not by chance, because the increased life expectancy is due to medical progress and the mechanization of agriculture. Both are based on industrialization and this was the cause of the increased energy consumption. Those who wish back the time before industrialization should think about this.
