There has certainly been a sharp increase in the number of YouTube videos posted over the past 20 years.
[C]reation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now.Romans 8:21-22.
There’s also been a huge increase in the technology used to collect that data, as well as the amount of data collected at new collection sites. Also, there’s almost a 75% increase in “disasters”, but only a 24% increase in the total affected. That suggests either better information that is timely (e.g., early warnings) or better implementation of changing technology (e.g., earthquake-proof buildings). Similar results for deaths.
Nonsense...
We just call things natural disasters that used to be “storms”
We have cute names for them, music, nonstop cable coverage, nattering politicians, hand wringing “scientists”, political activists...
Think of the Galveston Hurricane in 1900. It hit without warning, and between 6000 and 12000 people were killed. It was the deadliest natural disaster in US history. Global warming hadn't been invented yet. And radio communications was still in its mother's womb.
Such a storm taking the world by surprise could never happen today.
Well, duh, what did we expect? “The ERF has a fever.”
This is a sharp increase over the previous 20-year period (1980 - 1999) when EM-DAT recorded 4 212 natural disasters worldwide, 1.19 million lives lost, 3.25 billion people affected, and approximately US$1.63 trillion in economic losses.
Taking the middle years of each range, there was a 30% population increase over 20 years from 1990 to 2010. But there was only a slight increase in lives lost and number affected matched the population increae. The primary thing which increased sharply was the number of disasters which makes me think they are counting smaller "disasters".
The earth has been here for 4.5 billion years and they’ve been tracking this statistic since 1980... That’s lots of data to go by... Which means this is complete nonsense and essentially fake news.
Would someone PLEASE take a look at the surface of the earth. It’s bumps and bruises and mountains and volcanoes under the sea. This perfect earth is scarred and man didn’t build it.
Out of billions of years is a twenty year comparison relevant?
These are just days before the day of the Lord.
But, what is a day to the Lord?
It is enough to know that He is mindful of us.
It is a good thing.
I Will keep looking up but, watching where I go.
Why should I live in day of His return?
It would be quite the honor, wouldn’t it?
Remain humble.
dams “dykes” and drainage systems. Is Teo a he she or an it?
