 Historical Temperature Fluctuations Over Millennia
Throughout history, Earth’s temperatures have fluctuated dramatically, often surpassing contemporary levels within recent millennia. Notably, multiple instances exist where planetary warmth exceeded modern benchmarks since the last Ice Age approximately ten thousand years ago. These fluctuations stem largely from complex interactions among solar radiation variations, volcanic eruptions, shifts in Earth's orbital mechanics, and internal oceanic-atmospheric dynamics. For instance, during periods known as Holocene Optimum roughly eight to five thousand years before present day, many parts experienced notably higher average temperatures compared to those recorded now. Similarly, Medieval Warm Period around AD950–1250 saw significant global heating affecting various ecosystems' stability and distribution. Such historical episodes underscore how naturally occurring phenomena could induce substantial climate alterations without anthropogenic influences being predominant drivers - highlighting both nature's resilience against external perturbations alongside inherent vulnerabilities when faced with rapid transformations beyond typical recovery capacities.
Although humans contribute substantially via greenhouse gases emission leading up-to accelerated global warming trends observed recently; understanding long-term variability helps contextualize ongoing debates surrounding mitigation strategies versus adaptation measures needed tackle emerging challenges posed by unpredictable weather extremes becoming more frequent intensity-wise under changing atmospheric compositions influenced heavily yet indirectly through cumulative effects arising out interconnected feedback loops involving land use changes deforestation etcetera impacting carbon sinks sources differently depending upon regional specifics biogeographical attributes.

Rewilding means to return to a more wild or natural state ; it is the process of undoing domestication . The term emerged from the green anarchism and anarcho-primitivism political theories , in which humans are believed to be `` civilized '' or `` domesticated '' by industrial and agricultural progress . Supporters of rewilding argue that through the process of domestication , human wildness has been altered by force .   Rewilding is about dismantling the culture of human domestication and returning to the lifeways of pre-agrarian human cultures . Though often associated with primitive skills and learning knowledge of wild plants and animals , it emphasizes regenerative land management techniques employed by hunter-gatherers and horticulturalists , as well as development of the senses and fostering deepening personal relationships with members of other species and the natural world . Rewilding intends to create permanently wild human cultures beyond domestication .   Rewilding is considered a holistic approach to living , as opposed to skills , practices or a specific set of knowledge .

One million ( 1,000,000 ) or one thousand thousand is the natural number following 999,999 and preceding 1,000,001 . The word is derived from the early Italian millione ( milione in modern Italian ) , from mille , `` thousand '' , plus the augmentative suffix - one . It is commonly abbreviated as m ( not to be confused with the metric prefix for ) or M ; further MM ( `` thousand thousands '' , from Latin `` Mille '' ; not to be confused with the Roman numeral MM = 2,000 ) , mm , or mn in financial contexts .   In scientific notation , it is written as or 106 . Physical quantities can also be expressed using the SI prefix mega ( M ) , when dealing with SI units ; for example , 1 megawatt ( 1 MW ) equals 1,000,000 watts .   The meaning of the word `` million '' is common to the short scale and long scale numbering systems , unlike the larger numbers , which have different names in the two systems .   The million is sometimes used in the English language as a metaphor for a very large number , as in `` Not in a million years '' and `` You 're one in a million '' , or a hyperbole , as in `` I 've walked a million miles '' and `` You 've asked the million-dollar question '' .

The 1257 Samalas eruption was a major volcanic eruption of the Samalas volcano , next to Mount Rinjani on the island of Lombok , Indonesia . It left a large caldera next to Rinjani volcano , the lake Segara Anak . This volcanic eruption reached a volcanic explosivity index of 7 , making it one of the largest eruptions of the Holocene . The occurrence of this eruption was originally deduced from ice core information revealing a spike in sulfate deposition around the year 1257 ; in 2013 the source of this eruption at Samalas was definitively proven as a result of historical records from that time .   This eruption proceeded during four distinct phases , alternately creating eruption columns reaching up for tens of kilometres and pyroclastic flows that buried large parts of Lombok , destroying human habitations including the city of Pamatan . Ash from the eruption fell as far as Java . The volume of the deposits left exceeds 10 km3 . Later activity from the volcano created additional volcanic centres in the caldera , including the present day active Barujari cone .   The eruption was witnessed by humans on Lombok , who recorded its effects on text written on palm leaves . The aerosols injected by the volcano into the atmosphere reduced the solar radiation reaching the surface of the Earth , triggering a volcanic winter and cooling lasting for several years . It is possible that the 1257 Samalas eruption helped trigger the Little Ice Age .

December ( from Latin decem , `` ten '' ) or mensis December was originally the tenth month of the Roman calendar , following November ( novem , `` nine '' ) and preceding Ianuarius . It had 29 days . When the calendar was reformed to create a 12-month year starting in Ianuarius , December became the twelfth month , but retained its name , as did the other numbered months from Quintilis ( July ) through December . Its length was increased to 31 days under the Julian calendar reform .

Dead zones are hypoxic ( low-oxygen ) areas in the world 's oceans and large lakes , caused by `` excessive nutrient pollution from human activities coupled with other factors that deplete the oxygen required to support most marine life in bottom and near-bottom water . ( NOAA ) . '' In the 1970s oceanographers began noting increased instances of dead zones . These occur near inhabited coastlines , where aquatic life is most concentrated . ( The vast middle portions of the oceans , which naturally have little life , are not considered `` dead zones '' . )   In March 2004 , when the recently established UN Environment Programme published its first Global Environment Outlook Year Book ( GEO Year Book 2003 ) , it reported 146 dead zones in the world 's oceans where marine life could not be supported due to depleted oxygen levels . Some of these were as small as a square kilometre ( 0.4 mi ² ) , but the largest dead zone covered 70,000 square kilometres ( 27,000 mi ² ) . A 2008 study counted 405 dead zones worldwide .

Decennalia ( or decennia , from Latin decennium - `` tenth anniversary '' ; decem , `` ten '' + annus , `` year '' ) were Ancient Roman festivals celebrated with games every ten years by the Roman emperors .   This festival owed its origin to the fact that in 27 BC , Augustus refused the supreme power offered to him for life . Instead , he would only consent to accepting power for ten years ; during the festival , he would surrender up all of his authority to the hands of the people , who , filled with joy , and charmed with the goodness of Augustus , immediately delivered it back to him again . The memory was preserved to the last ages of the empire by Decennalia , which was solemnised by subsequent emperors every tenth year of their reign , although they had received the imperium for life , and not for the limited period of ten years .   During the festival , the people offered up vows to the emperor , called vota decennalia , for the success and perpetuity of his empire . Roman coinage was specially modified during this time to indicate the undertaking of these vows , such as with the inscription VOTA SUSCEPTA DECENNALIA , or VOTIS X. From the time of Antoninus Pius , we find these ceremonies marked on medals : PRIMI DECENNALES ; SECVNDI DECENNALES ; VOTA SOL . DECEN . II ; VOTA SVSCEP . DECEN . III . These vows must have been made at the beginning of every tenth year , since on the medal of Pertinax , who only reigned for 4 months in 193 , there are the inscriptions VOTA DECENN . and VOTIS DECENNALIBVS .   Burkhard Gotthelf Struve ( 1671-1738 ) , in his Antiquitatum romanarum syntagma cap . IV , is of the opinion that these vows took the place of those the censors used to make in the times of the Republic for the prosperity and preservation thereof . In effect , they were not only made for the ruler , but also for the state , as may be observed from Cassius Dio , and Pliny the Younger .

Deuteronilus Mensae is a region on Mars 937 km across and centered at . It covers 344 ° -325 ° West and 40 ° -48 ° North . Deuteronilus region lies just to the north of Arabia Terra and is included in the Ismenius Lacus quadrangle . It is along the dichotomy boundary , that is between the old , heavily cratered southern highlands and the low plains of the northern hemisphere . The region contains flat-topped knobby terrain that may have been formed by glaciers at some time in the past . Deuteronilus Mensae is to the immediate west of Protonilus Mensae and Ismeniae Fossae . Glaciers persist in the region in modern times , with at least one glacier estimated to have formed as recently as 100,000 to 10,000 years ago . Recent evidence from the radar on the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter has shown that parts of Deuteronilus Mensae do indeed contain ice .

19 ( nineteen ) is the natural number following 18 and preceding 20 . It is a prime number .   In a 24-hour clock , the nineteenth hour is in conventional language called seven or seven o'clock .

In the 20th century , the year 1988 has the most Roman numeral digits ( 11 ) .   1988 was a crucial year in the early history of the Internet -- it was the year of the first well-known computer virus , the 1988 Internet worm . The first permanent intercontinental Internet link was made between the United States ( NSFNET ) and Europe ( Nordunet ) as well as the first Internet-based chat protocol , Internet Relay Chat . The concept of the World Wide Web was first discussed at CERN in 1988 .   The Soviet Union began its major restructuring towards a mixed economy at the beginning of 1988 and began its gradual collapse . The Iron Curtain began to disintegrate in 1988 as Hungary began allowing freer travel to the West . The first extrasolar planet , Gamma Cephei Ab ( confirmed in 2002 ) was detected this year and the World Health Organization began its mission to eradicate polio .

The dietary energy supply is the food available for human consumption , usually expressed in kilocalories or kilojoules per person per day . It gives an overestimate of the total amount of food consumed as it reflects both food consumed and food wasted . It varies markedly between different regions and countries of the world . It has also changed significantly over the 21st century . Dietary energy supply is correlated with the rate of obesity .


Question: Moreover, there's growing evidence suggesting that over the last 10,000 years, Earth experienced multiple periods where average global temperatures were notably higher compared to present day conditions.

 Holocene Thermal Maximum: A Natural Precedent?
Throughout history, Earth has experienced periods where temperatures were notably higher compared to current conditions, particularly within the last 10,000 years known as the Holocene era. One notable instance is referred to as the "Holocene Thermal Maximum," when average global temperatures surpassed those recorded today. This period occurred approximately 6,000-8,000 years ago before cooling trends took hold again. These historical fluctuations highlight how complex planetary systems can lead to significant changes without direct influence from modern-day factors such as greenhouse gases emitted through industrial practices. Understanding these ancient warm phases helps researchers better predict future climate scenarios under different emission pathways while emphasizing the importance of mitigating contemporary sources contributing to ongoing global warming.

The Iran Blizzard of February 1972 resulted in the deaths of approximately 4,000 people . A week-long period of low temperatures and severe winter storms , lasting February 3 -- 9 , 1972 , dumped more than 10 ft of snow across rural areas in northwestern , central and southern Iran .   Southern Iran sustained as much as 26 ft of snow , burying at least 4,000 individuals . According to contemporary reports by the newspaper Ettela'at , the city of Ardakan and outlying villages were hardest hit , with no survivors in Kakkan or Kumar . In the northwest , near the border with Turkey , the village of Sheklab and its 100 inhabitants were buried .   This blizzard remains the deadliest in history .

100 or one hundred ( Roman numeral : ) is the natural number following 99 and preceding 101 .   In medieval contexts , it may be described as the short hundred or five score in order to differentiate the English and Germanic use of `` hundred '' to describe the long hundred of six score or 120 .

Debris flows are geological phenomena in which water-laden masses of soil and fragmented rock rush down mountainsides , funnel into stream channels , entrain objects in their paths , and form thick , muddy deposits on valley floors . They generally have bulk densities comparable to those of rock avalanches and other types of landslides ( roughly 2000 kilograms per cubic meter ) , but owing to widespread sediment liquefaction caused by high pore-fluid pressures , they can flow almost as fluidly as water . Debris flows descending steep channels commonly attain speeds that surpass 10 meters per second ( more than 20 miles per hour ) , although some large flows can reach speeds that are much greater . Debris flows with volumes ranging up to about 100,000 cubic meters occur frequently in mountainous regions worldwide . The largest prehistoric flows have had volumes exceeding 1 billion cubic meters ( i.e. , 1 cubic kilometer ) . As a result of their high sediment concentrations and mobility , debris flows can be very destructive .   Notable debris-flow disasters of the twentieth century involved more than 20,000 fatalities in Armero , Colombia in 1985 and tens of thousands in Vargas State , Venezuela in 1999 .

1100s may refer to :  The period from 1100 to 1199 , almost synonymous with the 12th century ( 1101 -- 1200 )  The period from 1100 to 1109 , known as the 1100s decade

Rammed earth , also known as taipa in Portuguese , tapial in Spanish , pisé ( de terre ) in French , and hangtu , is a technique for constructing foundations , floors , and walls using natural raw materials such as earth , chalk , lime , or gravel . It is an ancient method that has been revived recently as a sustainable building material used in a technique of natural building .   Rammed earth is simple to manufacture , non-combustible , thermally massive , strong , and durable . However , structures such as walls can be laborious to construct of rammed earth without machinery , e. g. , powered tampers , and they are susceptible to water damage if inadequately protected or maintained .   Edifices formed of rammed earth are on every continent except Antarctica , in a range of environments including temperate , wet , semiarid desert , montane , and tropical regions . The availability of suitable soil and a building design appropriate for local climatic conditions are the factors that favour its use .

The Denisovan or Denisova hominin ( -LSB- prondᵻˈniːsəvə -RSB- ) is an extinct species or subspecies of human in the genus Homo . Pending its status as either species or subspecies it currently carries the temporary names Homo sp . Altai , or Homo sapiens ssp . Denisova . In , scientists announced the discovery of a finger bone fragment of a juvenile female who lived about 41,000 years ago , found in the remote Denisova Cave in the Altai Mountains in Siberia , a cave that has also been inhabited by Neanderthals and modern humans . Two teeth belonging to different members of the same population have since been reported . In November 2015 , a tooth fossil containing DNA was reported to have been found and studied .   Analysis of the mitochondrial DNA ( mtDNA ) of the finger bone showed it to be genetically distinct from the mtDNAs of Neanderthals and modern humans . Subsequent study of the nuclear genome from this specimen suggests that Denisovans shared a common origin with Neanderthals , that they ranged from Siberia to Southeast Asia , and that they lived among and interbred with the ancestors of some modern humans , with about 3 % to 5 % of the DNA of Melanesians and Aboriginal Australians deriving from Denisovans .   A comparison with the genome of a Neanderthal from the same cave revealed significant local interbreeding with local Neanderthal DNA representing 17 % of the Denisovan genome , while evidence was also detected of interbreeding with an as yet unidentified ancient human lineage . Similar analysis of a toe bone discovered in 2011 is underway , while analysis of DNA from two teeth found in layers different from the finger bone revealed an unexpected degree of mtDNA divergence among Denisovans .   In 2013 , mitochondrial DNA from a 400,000-year-old hominin femur bone from Spain , which had been seen as either Neanderthal or Homo heidelbergensis , was found to be closer to Denisovan mtDNA than to Neanderthal mtDNA .

Historically , Diluvium was a term in geology for superficial deposits formed by flood-like operations of water , and so contrasted with alluvium or alluvial deposits formed by slow and steady aqueous agencies . The term was formerly given to the boulder clay deposits , supposed to have been caused by the Noachian deluge .   In the late 20th century Russian geologist Alexei Rudoy proposed the term `` diluvium '' for description of deposits created as a result of catastrophic outbursts of Pleistocene giant glacier-dammed lakes in intermontane basins of the Altai . The largest of these lakes , Chuya and Kuray , had volumes of water in hundreds of cubic kilometers , and their discharge in peak hydrograph flow rate exceeded the maximum rates of the well-known Pleistocene Lake Missoula floods in North America . The term `` diluvium '' in the meaning of A. N. Rudoy has become accepted , and the process of diluvial morpholithogenesis can be found in modern textbooks .

Data ( -LSB- ˈdeɪtə -RSB- , -LSB- ˈdætə -RSB- , or -LSB- ˈdɑːtə -RSB- ) is a set of values of qualitative or quantitative variables . An example of qualitative data would be an anthropologist 's handwritten notes about his or her interviews with people of an Indigenous tribe . Pieces of data are individual pieces of information . While the concept of data is commonly associated with scientific research , data is collected by a huge range of organizations and institutions , including businesses ( e.g. , sales data , revenue , profits , stock price ) , governments ( e.g. , crime rates , unemployment rates , literacy rates ) and non-governmental organizations ( e.g. , censuses of the number of homeless people by non-profit organizations ) .   Data is measured , collected and reported , and analyzed , whereupon it can be visualized using graphs , images or other analysis tools . Data as a general concept refers to the fact that some existing information or knowledge is represented or coded in some form suitable for better usage or processing . Raw data ( `` unprocessed data '' ) is a collection of numbers or characters before it has been `` cleaned '' and corrected by researchers . Raw data needs to be corrected to remove outliers or obvious instrument or data entry errors ( e.g. , a thermometer reading from an outdoor Arctic location recording a tropical temperature ) . Data processing commonly occurs by stages , and the `` processed data '' from one stage may be considered the `` raw data '' of the next stage . Field data is raw data that is collected in an uncontrolled `` in situ '' environment . Experimental data is data that is generated within the context of a scientific investigation by observation and recording . Data has been described as the new oil of the digital economy .


Question:
 The occurrence and strength of storms, floods, and droughts haven't escalated; concurrently, casualties linked with these natural calamities stand at their lowest point ever recorded. This indicates that despite any perceived changes in climate conditions, our ability to manage and mitigate against extreme weather events has improved significantly over time, leading to reduced fatalities globally.
```

 Misconceptions about Natural Disasters' Intensity & Frequency
Contrary to popular belief, scientific data reveals no significant rise in storm severity, flood magnitude, or drought duration globally. Advances in meteorology and disaster management contribute significantly to reduced fatalities during extreme weather events compared to historical records. Despite media focus on dramatic incidents, statistical analysis indicates stable trends in natural calamities’ occurrence and impact. However, human actions—such as deforestation, urban expansion into vulnerable areas, and poor waste management—continue exacerbating local risks unrelated to increased event intensity.

The 1960 Atlantic hurricane season was the least active season since 1952 . The season officially began on June 15 , and lasted until November 15 . These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the Atlantic basin . The first system , an unnamed storm , developed in the Bay of Campeche on June 22 . It brought severe local flooding to southeastern Texas and was considered the worst disaster in some towns since a hurricane in 1945 . The unnamed storm moved across the United States for almost a week before dissipating on June 29 . In July , Hurricane Abby resulted in minor damage in the Leeward Islands , before impacting a few Central American counties -- the remnants of the storm would go on to form Hurricane Celeste in the East Pacific . Later that month , Tropical Storm Brenda caused flooding across much of the East Coast of the United States . The next storm , Hurricane Cleo , caused no known impact , despite its close proximity to land .   The most significant storm of the season was Hurricane Donna , which at the time was among the ten costliest United States hurricanes . After the precursor caused a deadly plane crash in Senegal , the storm itself brought severe flooding and wind impacts to the Lesser Antilles and Florida , where Donna made landfall as a Category 4 hurricane . It moved northeast and struck North Carolina and Long Island , New York , while still at hurricane intensity . Donna caused at least 227 fatalities and $ 900 million ( 1960 USD ) in damage . Hurricane Ethel reached Category 3 intensity , but rapidly weakened before making landfall in Mississippi , resulting in only 1 fatality and $ 1.5 million in losses . The final storm , Florence , developed on September 17 . It remained weakened and moved erratically over Cuba and Florida . Only minor flooding was reported . Collectively , the tropical cyclones in 1960 caused at least 250 deaths and about $ 910.74 million in damage .

Death Risk Rankings was a website that approximated the likelihood of a European or American person dying within a twelve-month span . Using public data to do its calculations , the website also listed the possible causes of death , including illnesses or accidents .   Created by Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh , Pennsylvania , Death Risk Rankings has been nicknamed the `` death calculator '' .

The 1934 Atlantic hurricane season ran through the summer and the first half of fall in 1934 . The 1934 season was fairly quiet . However , it was a continuation of deadly seasons that had been going on since 1928 .   A June hurricane carved an erratic path across Central America and the Gulf of Mexico , causing catastrophic flooding in Central America that killed 1,000-3 ,000 people .   Elsewhere , a tropical storm formed and existed entirely during the month of May , striking Florida and South Carolina and causing $ 155,000 in damage . A Category 1 hurricane passed over north Florida as a tropical storm and made landfall in central Texas , causing 11 casualties and $ 1 -- 2 million in damage . Another Category 1 grazed Galveston . The extratropical remnant of a hurricane moved up the US East Coast , bringing hurricane-force winds .

The 1688 Smyrna earthquake occurred at 11:45 on 10 July . It had an epicenter close to Izmir , Turkey . It had an estimated surface wave magnitude of 7.0 , with a maximum felt intensity of X ( Extreme ) on the Mercalli intensity scale , and caused about 16,000 casualties .

The 1992 Queensland storms were a series of thunderstorms which struck southeastern Queensland , Australia on 29 November 1992 . The storms produced strong winds , flash flooding and large hailstones in the region , including the capital city of Brisbane . The storms also spawned two of the most powerful tornadoes recorded in Australia , including the only Australian tornado to be given an official ` F4 ' classification on the Fujita scale .   The meteorological instability in the region resulted in the formation of at least five supercell thunderstorms in the space of around three hours . The storms , which spawned progressively further up the coast from Brisbane to Gladstone as the afternoon progressed , left a trail of damage resulting from hail , rain and wind . The event has been described as `` one of the most widespread outbreaks of severe thunderstorms recorded '' by veteran meteorologist Richard Whitaker .

The most deadly floods on record in Tasmania 's history occurred in April 1929 when 22 people were killed and 40 injured .   They became known as the ` great ' floods and the generosity from other states in relief funds and work was invoked for some time after   The floods helped to prompt the construction of flood levees in the city of Launceston , Tasmania 's second largest city and an important economic centre in the North of Tasmania .   Flooding was predicted by barometers : noting that : `` Barometers are now falling , due apparently to the southward movement of the depression , and further rain is to be expected , with the probable flood falls in the north-east . ''  A deep low-pressure cell over Victoria at 9am , Thursday , 4 April 1929 produced north-easterly winds across Tasmania . Rain intensified throughout the day , with the highest rainfall totals coming in the north-eastern corner of the state , but the effects were also felt across the North of the state directly affecting Burnie .

12 ( twelve -LSB- ˈtwɛlv -RSB- ) is the natural number following 11 and preceding 13 . The product of the first three factorials , twelve is a superior highly composite number , divisible by 2 , 3 , 4 , and 6 . It is central to many systems of counting , including the Western calendar and units of time , and frequently appears in the Abrahamic religions .

The 1981 -- 82 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season was destructive and deadly in Madagascar , where four cyclones killed 100 people and caused $ 250 million ( USD ) in damage . The season was fairly active , lasting from October to May . There were nine named storms that attained gale-force winds , or at least 65 km/h ( 40 mph ) . Five of the storms attained tropical cyclone status , which have 10 minute sustained winds of at least 120 km/h ( 75 mph ) .   The first storm was Tropical Cyclone Alex , which was named by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology ( BoM ) . this was due to the boundary of the basin at the time , which incorporated the Indian Ocean south of the equator and extended from the east coast of Africa to 80 ° E ; the eastern extent was later moved to 90 ° E. Two other storms -- Armelle and Damia -- also originated in the Australian basin . The latter was the strongest cyclone on record in the basin at the time by barometric pressure , estimated at 898 mbar . The first storm to affect Madagascar was Benedicte in December , and was followed by tropical storms Frida and Electre in February and Justine in March . The final storm of the season was Cyclone Karla , which remained in the eastern periphery of the basin while reaching winds of 170 km/h ( 105 mph ) .

The 1947 Atlantic hurricane season was the first Atlantic hurricane season to have tropical storms named by the United States Air Force . The season officially began on June 16 , 1947 , and ended on November 1 , 1947 . These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the Atlantic basin . However , the first tropical cyclone developed on June 13 , while the final system was absorbed by a cold front on December 1 . There were 10 tropical storms ; 5 of them attained hurricane status , while two became major hurricanes , which are Category 3 or higher on the modern day Saffir -- Simpson scale . Operationally , the third tropical storm was considered two separate tropical cyclones , resulting in the storm receiving two names . The eighth tropical storm went undetected and was not listed in HURDAT until 2014 .   Nearly all tropical storms impacted land during the season , some of which caused many fatalities and left destruction . The second storm caused severe flooding and mudslides in Mexico , leaving at least 48 dead and 43 others missing . In September , the strongest and costliest hurricane of the season , the Fort Lauderdale hurricane , left severe damage in Florida , Louisiana , and Mississippi due to strong winds , heavy rainfall , and abnormally high tides . There were 51 fatalities and about $ 160.2 million ( 1947 USD ) in damage . The ninth storm , also known as the Cape Sable hurricane , caused additional flooding in South Florida and left wind damage in Georgia and South Carolina . The storm left about $ 20 million in damage . Overall , the systems of the season caused about $ 184.2 million in damage and at least 101 fatalities .   __ TOC __

The 1987 Bihar flood , caused by high levels of annual flooding of the Koshi River ( nicknamed `` the sorrow of Bihar '' ) , was one of the worst floods in Bihar , India , in a decade caused by a landslide that blocked the main route of Bhote Kosi River . This resulted from chunks of earth falling into the river ; thus , building a damn approximately 1 km in length . An enormous lake formed behind the damn causing the tragic flood that held between 28 and 32 lakh cusecs of water . 1399 people and 5302 animals lost their lives and nearly 29 million people were affected in 30 districts , 382 blocks , 6,112 panchayat , and 24,518 villages . Government figures list damage to crops at an estimated 68 billion Indian rupees and damage to public property at 68 million rupees .  This particular flood is one of many floods that happen in Bihar , India . In fact , the state of Bihar has the most severe flooding as compared to other areas of the India . The Kosi River is to blame for this as it has a problematic history of flooding and changing in its direction . Furthermore , this river is located at the northern part of the Bihar plains in eastern India and is an important tributary in the Ganga river system .


Question:
 The occurrence and strength of storms, floods, and droughts haven't escalated; concurrently, casualties linked with these calamities stand at their lowest historical point. This signifies an improvement in disaster management and prediction technologies that help minimize human losses despite unaltered environmental conditions.

2017 Caribbean Hurricane Season Overview
During the 2017 hurricane season, several intense tropical cyclones struck various parts of the Caribbean, causing widespread devastation across islands like Dominica, Puerto Rico, and Barbuda. These hurricanes, notably Irma and Maria, brought record-breaking winds and torrential rains leading to catastrophic damage and numerous fatalities. Despite advancements in early warning systems and emergency preparedness measures, thousands lost their lives, and millions more faced displacement. Total economic losses exceeded tens of billions of dollars, making this period one of the most destructive Atlantic hurricane seasons ever recorded. Scientists attribute the severity of these events partly to warmer ocean temperatures linked to long-term climate trends.

In both documents, we discuss extreme weather events resulting in significant impacts: the first focuses on devastating floods in India during 2015, whereas the second highlights the severe consequences of powerful hurricanes affecting the Caribbean in 2017. Both texts maintain comparable lengths, complexities, and styles but cover different geographical regions and types of natural disasters—floods versus hurricanes—to illustrate how extreme weather can lead to substantial harm despite claims suggesting otherwise about storm frequencies or intensities globally.

The 1972 Atlantic hurricane season had only four fully tropical named storms -- the fewest since 1930 . It officially began on June 1 , 1972 , and lasted until November 30 , 1972 . These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the Atlantic basin . The first storm , Subtropical Storm Alpha , developed on May 23 off the Southeast United States and struck Florida , causing minor damage and two fatalities . Although several other tropical depressions developed , only Tropical Depression Five is known to have affected land .   The most significant storm of the season was Hurricane Agnes , which at the time was the costliest United States hurricane , until Frederic in 1979 . After brushing the western tip of Cuba , the hurricane made landfall on the Florida Panhandle . It caused at least $ 2.1 billion ( 1972 USD ) in damage and 137 fatalities , mostly from inland flooding in Pennsylvania and New York . The strongest hurricane of the season was Betty , which reached peak winds of 105 mph ( 165 km/h ) while west of the Azores . Tropical Storm Carrie passed just offshore of Massachusetts , causing heavy rainfall and resulting in four fatalities , but leaving only $ 1.78 million in damage .   The remaining tropical systems -- Dawn , Charlie , and Delta -- caused no significant effects on land . A strong El Niño kept hurricane activity at a minimum , with only four tropical storms , three subtropical storms , and three hurricanes . It was also one of only five hurricane seasons since 1944 to have no major hurricanes -- the other years being 1968 , the 1986 , 1994 , and 2013 . In addition , the season was the first to name subtropical storms , using the Phonetic Alphabet , rather than the standard naming list . Collectively , the storms of the 1972 Atlantic hurricane season resulted in 137 deaths and over $ 2.1 billion in damage .  __ TOC __

Response Analysis refers to the analysis of mitigation plans for emergency or disaster situations . These emergencies or disasters may be naturally occurring ( e.g. hurricanes , earthquakes , disease outbreaks , etc. ) or man-made ( e.g. terrorism , bio-terrorism , industrial accidents , chemical spills , etc. ) . Since the terrorist attacks of September 11 , 2001 , the following Anthrax bio-terror attacks , and the disasters precipitated by Hurricane Katrina in 2005 , emphasis has been put on the development of mitigation plans to prepare for such situations . The field of response analysis is the effort to analyze , validate , and optimize these mitigation plans using quantitative data and computational tools .

Miracles are events which seem to defy standard , rational or normal explanations , and tend to be explained by divine intervention . Most of Latin America is predominantly Catholic and miracles have a deep historical tradition in Catholic theology . To some , miracles would be considered fate or a lucky break , but to Catholics `` A miracle is a supernaturally ( divinely ) caused event -- an event ( ordinarily ) different from what would have occurred in the normal ( `` natural '' ) course of events . ''   The appearance of the Blessed Mother to the three children at Fatima in 1917 is said to be a miracle . It was here that after a horrific rainstorm , Mary brought the sun closer to the earth and dried the humans ' clothes that they were wearing as a demonstration of God 's power through her . This miracle was witnessed by many thousands of people and thought of as a divine intervention . A miracle is believed to be `` A discernible , divine act in the world , outside , above , or beyond the natural order of things , which manifests some aspect of God 's power and love . ''  Other miracles are described as `` beyond the order commonly observed . '' An example of this uncommon occurrence is when the Mother of Jesus is said to have appeared . She sends a message to whomever she visits and requests them to always pray the rosary for the remission of sin and to pray for peace . The rosary is a religious icon and is significant for Catholic Christians because they hope that Mary will intercede with her son and grant their requests or prayers . Many Latin American homes pray for Mary 's intercession . On some occasions these requests are granted in the form of miracles or are given as `` miraculous gifts . ''   Milagros is the Spanish word for miracle and in Latin America milagros are small charms , usually in an anatomical shape that `` symbolize an afflicted person or body part . '' In some parts of Latin America people will make pilgrimages to visit the statues of their patron saints and `` Leave milagros as tangible symbolic petition or expressions of thanks . '' Milagros were originally produced for the rich , but are now made out of tin and other base metals for everyone and usually takes the form of `` A leg , head , eye , or arms and hearts , feet or hands ( Langham , 326 ) . '' These icons are believed to hold significant meaning among Catholics because they represent miraculous events .   In view of the fact that Latin America has such a deep rooted belief in Catholic theology , the belief in miracles is still prevalent today . Miracles have been witnessed , in many different forms throughout the world and are one of the mainstays of the Catholic beliefs . Humans have not been able to explain miracles , but firmly believe in them . Latin American Christians pray , worship , and attend church , with the hopes of receiving a blessing or a miracle from God .

Diarrhea , also spelled diarrhoea , is the condition of having at least three loose or liquid bowel movements each day . It often lasts for a few days and can result in dehydration due to fluid loss . Signs of dehydration often begin with loss of the normal stretchiness of the skin and irritable behaviour . This can progress to decreased urination , loss of skin color , a fast heart rate , and a decrease in responsiveness as it becomes more severe . Loose but non-watery stools in babies who are breastfed , however , may be normal .   The most common cause is an infection of the intestines due to either a virus , bacteria , or parasite ; a condition known as gastroenteritis . These infections are often acquired from food or water that has been contaminated by stool , or directly from another person who is infected . It may be divided into three types : short duration watery diarrhea , short duration bloody diarrhea , and if it lasts for more than two weeks , persistent diarrhea . The short duration watery diarrhea may be due to an infection by cholera , although this is rare in the developed world . If blood is present it is also known as dysentery . A number of non-infectious causes may also result in diarrhea , including hyperthyroidism , lactose intolerance , inflammatory bowel disease , a number of medications , and irritable bowel syndrome . In most cases , stool cultures are not required to confirm the exact cause .   Prevention of infectious diarrhea is by improved sanitation , clean drinking water , and hand washing with soap . Breastfeeding for at least six months is also recommended as is vaccination against rotavirus . Oral rehydration solution ( ORS ) , which is clean water with modest amounts of salts and sugar , is the treatment of choice . Zinc tablets are also recommended . These treatments have been estimated to have saved 50 million children in the past 25 years . When people have diarrhea it is recommended that they continue to eat healthy food and babies continue to be breastfed . If commercial ORS are not available , homemade solutions may be used . In those with severe dehydration , intravenous fluids may be required . Most cases ; however , can be managed well with fluids by mouth . Antibiotics , while rarely used , may be recommended in a few cases such as those who have bloody diarrhea and a high fever , those with severe diarrhea following travelling , and those who grow specific bacteria or parasites in their stool . Loperamide may help decrease the number of bowel movements but is not recommended in those with severe disease .   About 1.7 to 5 billion cases of diarrhea occur per year . It is most common in developing countries , where young children get diarrhea on average three times a year . Total deaths from diarrhea are estimated at 1.26 million in 2013 -- down from 2.58 million in 1990 . In 2012 , it was the second most common cause of deaths in children younger than five ( 0.76 million or 11 % ) . Frequent episodes of diarrhea are also a common cause of malnutrition and the most common cause in those younger than five years of age . Other long term problems that can result include stunted growth and poor intellectual development .

The 1913 Atlantic hurricane season was the third consecutive year with a tropical cyclone developing before June . Although no `` hurricane season '' was defined at the time , the present-day delineation of such is June 1 to November 30 . The first system , a tropical depression , developed on May 5 while the last transitioned into an extratropical cyclone on October 30 . Of note , the seventh and eighth cyclones existed simultaneously from August 30 to September 4 .   Of the season 's ten tropical cyclones , six became tropical storms and four strengthened into hurricanes . Furthermore , none of these strengthened into a major hurricane -- Category 3 or higher on the modern-day Saffir -- Simpson hurricane wind scale -- marking the sixth such occurrence since 1900 . The strongest hurricane of the season peaked as only a Category 1 with winds of 85 mph ( 140 km/h ) . That system left five deaths and at least $ 4 million in damage in North Carolina . The first hurricane of the season also caused one fatality in Texas , while damage in South Carolina from the fifth hurricane reached at least $ 75,000 .   The season 's activity was reflected with an accumulated cyclone energy ( ACE ) rating of 36 . ACE is , broadly speaking , a measure of the power of the hurricane multiplied by the length of time it existed , so storms that last a long time , as well as particularly strong hurricanes , have high ACEs . It is only calculated for full advisories on tropical systems at or exceeding 39 mph ( 63 km/h ) , which is tropical storm strength .

The 1934 Atlantic hurricane season ran through the summer and the first half of fall in 1934 . The 1934 season was fairly quiet . However , it was a continuation of deadly seasons that had been going on since 1928 .   A June hurricane carved an erratic path across Central America and the Gulf of Mexico , causing catastrophic flooding in Central America that killed 1,000-3 ,000 people .   Elsewhere , a tropical storm formed and existed entirely during the month of May , striking Florida and South Carolina and causing $ 155,000 in damage . A Category 1 hurricane passed over north Florida as a tropical storm and made landfall in central Texas , causing 11 casualties and $ 1 -- 2 million in damage . Another Category 1 grazed Galveston . The extratropical remnant of a hurricane moved up the US East Coast , bringing hurricane-force winds .

The 1970 Ancash earthquake ( also known as the Great Peruvian earthquake ) occurred on 31 May off the coast of Peru in the Pacific Ocean at . Combined with a resultant landslide , it was the worst catastrophic natural disaster in the history of Peru . Due to the large amounts of snow and ice included in the landslide and its estimated 66,794 to 70,000 casualties , it is also considered to be the world 's deadliest avalanche .


Question: The occurrence and strength of storms, floods, and droughts haven't escalated; concurrently, casualties associated with these natural calamities stand at their lowest point ever recorded.

 Stability in Extreme Weather Events & Declining Disaster-Linked Fatalities
Contrary to popular belief, recent data suggests that the occurrence and severity of storms, floods, and droughts haven't escalated significantly despite concerns over global warming. Surprisingly, fatalities associated with these natural calamities have reached historical lows. Improved forecasting technologies, better disaster management strategies, and enhanced infrastructure resilience contribute to saving lives even when nature unleashes its fury. Since meticulous recordkeeping began post-WWII, statistical analyses reveal stable trends regarding major storm frequencies and intensities globally. Similarly, flood magnitudes remain unchanged across continents, debunking claims linking heightened occurrences solely to climate change. Drought conditions too show little variation over decades; localized variations exist but do not indicate escalating global risks. Notably, advancements in early warning systems coupled with proactive community preparedness measures drastically reduced death tolls during catastrophic events compared to previous centuries. Despite ongoing debates surrounding anthropogenic influences on weather extremes, empirical evidence supports relative stability in key meteorological phenomena alongside declining fatality rates linked to natural disasters.
The assertion here counters mainstream narratives emphasizing dire consequences arising exclusively from rising temperatures without acknowledging mitigating progress achieved through technological innovation and policy implementation aimed at safeguarding vulnerable populations against traditional threats posed by Mother Nature herself.

Landing is the last part of a flight , where a flying animal , aircraft , or spacecraft returns to the ground . When the flying object returns to water , the process is called alighting , although it is commonly called `` landing , '' `` touchdown '' or `` splashdown '' as well . A normal aircraft flight would include several parts of flight including taxi , takeoff , climb , cruise , descent and landing .

Radon is a chemical element with symbol Rn and atomic number 86 . It is a radioactive , colorless , odorless , tasteless noble gas . It occurs naturally as an intermediate step in the normal radioactive decay chains through which thorium and uranium slowly decay into lead ; radon , itself , is a decay product of radium . Its most stable isotope , 222Rn , has a half-life of 3.8 days . Since thorium and uranium are two of the most common radioactive elements on Earth , and since their isotopes have very long half-lives , on the order of billions of years , radon will be present in nature long into the future in spite of its short half-life as it is continually being regenerated .   Unlike all the other intermediate elements in the aforementioned decay chains , radon is , under normal conditions , gaseous and easily inhaled . Radon gas is a health hazard . It is often the single largest contributor to an individual 's background radiation dose , but due to local differences in geology , the level of the radon-gas hazard differs from location to location . Despite its short lifetime , radon gas from natural sources can accumulate in buildings , especially , due to its high density , in low areas such as basements and crawl spaces . Radon can also occur in ground water -- for example , in some spring waters and hot springs .   Epidemiological studies have shown a clear link between breathing high concentrations of radon and incidence of lung cancer . Radon is a contaminant that affects indoor air quality worldwide . According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency , radon is the second most frequent cause of lung cancer , after cigarette smoking , causing 21,000 lung cancer deaths per year in the United States . About 2,900 of these deaths occur among people who have never smoked . While radon is the second most frequent cause of lung cancer , it is the number one cause among non-smokers , according to EPA estimates . As radon itself decays , it produces other radioactive elements called radon daughters ( also known as radon progeny ) or decay products . Unlike the gaseous radon itself , radon daughters are solids and stick to surfaces , such as dust particles in the air . If such contaminated dust is inhaled , these particles can also cause lung cancer .

Deus ex machina ( -LSB- ˈdeʊs ɛks ˈmaː.kʰɪ.naː -RSB- : -LSB- ˈdeɪ.əs _ ɛks_ˈmɑːkiːnə -RSB- or -LSB- ˈdiːəs_ɛks_ˈmækᵻnə -RSB- plural : dei ex machina ) is a Latin calque . The term has evolved to mean a plot device whereby a seemingly unsolvable problem is suddenly and abruptly resolved by the inspired and unexpected intervention of some new event , character , ability or object . Depending on how it is done , it can be intended to allow a story to continue when the writer has `` painted himself into a corner '' and sees no other means to progress the plot , to surprise the audience , to bring the tale to a happy ending , or as a comedic device .

The race to the bottom is a socio-economic phrase which is used to describe government deregulation of the business environment or taxes in order to attract or retain economic activity in their jurisdictions . An outcome of globalization and free trade , the phenomenon may occur when competition increases between geographic areas over a particular sector of trade and production .

Data collection is the process of gathering and measuring information on targeted variables in an established systematic fashion , which then enables one to answer relevant questions and evaluate outcomes . Data collection is a component of research in all fields of study including physical and social sciences , humanities , and business . While methods vary by discipline , the emphasis on ensuring accurate and honest collection remains the same . The goal for all data collection is to capture quality evidence that allows analysis to lead to the formulation of convincing and credible answers to the questions that have been posed .

The December 2008 North American snowstorms were a series of snowstorms that struck across Canada and the US . The snowstorms caused snow to fall across Canada and many parts of the United States , and broke records for the amount of snow accumulated in many cities on Christmas Day .

The Darwin Awards are a tongue-in-cheek honor , originating in Usenet newsgroup discussions around 1985 . They recognize individuals who have supposedly contributed to human evolution by selecting themselves out of the gene pool via death or sterilization by their own actions .   The project became more formalized with the creation of a website in 1993 , and followed up by a series of books starting in 2000 , authored by Wendy Northcutt . The criterion for the awards states , `` In the spirit of Charles Darwin , the Darwin Awards commemorate individuals who protect our gene pool by making the ultimate sacrifice of their own lives . Darwin Award winners eliminate themselves in an extraordinarily idiotic manner , thereby improving our species ' chances of long-term survival . ''   Accidental self-sterilization also qualifies ; however , the site notes : `` Of necessity , the award is usually bestowed posthumously . '' The candidate is disqualified , though , if `` innocent bystanders '' , who might have contributed positively to the gene pool , are killed in the process .   The Darwin Awards books state that an attempt is made to disallow known urban legends from the awards , but some older `` winners '' have been `` grandfathered '' to keep their awards . The Darwin Awards site does try to verify all submitted stories , but many similar sites , and the vast number of circulating `` Darwin awards '' emails , are largely fictional .

Historically , Diluvium was a term in geology for superficial deposits formed by flood-like operations of water , and so contrasted with alluvium or alluvial deposits formed by slow and steady aqueous agencies . The term was formerly given to the boulder clay deposits , supposed to have been caused by the Noachian deluge .   In the late 20th century Russian geologist Alexei Rudoy proposed the term `` diluvium '' for description of deposits created as a result of catastrophic outbursts of Pleistocene giant glacier-dammed lakes in intermontane basins of the Altai . The largest of these lakes , Chuya and Kuray , had volumes of water in hundreds of cubic kilometers , and their discharge in peak hydrograph flow rate exceeded the maximum rates of the well-known Pleistocene Lake Missoula floods in North America . The term `` diluvium '' in the meaning of A. N. Rudoy has become accepted , and the process of diluvial morpholithogenesis can be found in modern textbooks .

Death of the album is a phrase used to describe the perceived decline of the traditional album in the 21st century , sometimes attributed to internet sharing and downloading , album-equivalent units , and the changing expectations of music listeners .   Album sales more than halved from 1999 to 2009 , declining from a $ 14.6 to $ 6.3 billion industry .   As opposed to releasing an album , some bands have begun releasing a series of singles or EPs as a way to combat the `` average person 's short attention span . ''

Derealization or derealisation ( sometimes abbreviated as DR ) is an alteration in the perception or experience of the external world so that it seems unreal . Other symptoms include feeling as though one 's environment is lacking in spontaneity , emotional colouring , and depth . It is both a dissociative symptom of many conditions .   Derealization is a subjective experience of unreality of the outside world , while depersonalization is sense of unreality in one 's personal self , although most authors currently do not regard derealization ( surroundings ) and depersonalization ( self ) as separate constructs .   Chronic derealization may be caused by occipital -- temporal dysfunction . These symptoms are common in the population , with a lifetime prevalence of up to 5 % and 31 -- 66 % at the time of a traumatic event .

 Stability Amidst Climate Change Claims
Contrary to widespread belief, recent studies suggest that the frequency and severity of extreme weather phenomena—such as hurricanes, flooding rains, and prolonged dry spells—have remained relatively stable without significant escalation. Despite rising temperatures linked to global warming, data indicates that occurrences of intense storms haven't escalated dramatically; instead, they've maintained historical norms. Moreover, advancements in disaster management systems coupled with improved infrastructure resilience have contributed to reduced mortality associated with these natural calamities. Societal progress in early warning technologies and evacuation protocols now ensures lower death tolls compared to previous centuries when communities were less prepared against nature’s fury. Though some regions experience localized variations influenced by various factors beyond just atmospheric conditions, overall trends point towards surprising stability amidst predictions of escalating chaos.

This observation challenges prevailing narratives emphasizing dire consequences solely attributable to unchecked carbon dioxide outputs. Instead, it highlights complexities inherent within earth system dynamics where multiple variables interact producing outcomes often defying simplistic explanations. Acknowledging both positive adaptations alongside ongoing vulnerabilities remains crucial for crafting balanced responses aimed at enhancing planetary health without compromising economic prosperity or societal well-being. Continuous monitoring combined with proactive planning can mitigate risks effectively ensuring sustainable coexistence despite lingering uncertainties surrounding future climate trajectories.

The 1932 Deep South tornado outbreak was a deadly tornado outbreak that struck the Southern United States on March 21 -- 22 , 1932 . At least 36 tornadoes -- including 27 killers and several long-lived tornado families -- struck the Deep South , killing more than 330 people and injuring 2,141 . Tornadoes affected areas from Mississippi north to Illinois and east to South Carolina , but Alabama was hardest hit , with 268 fatalities ; the outbreak is considered to be the deadliest ever in that U.S. state , and among the worst ever in the United States , trailing only the Tri-State Tornado outbreak in 1925 , with 747 fatalities , and the Tupelo-Gainesville outbreak in 1936 , with 454 fatalities . The 1932 outbreak produced 10 violent tornadoes , classified F4 or F5 on the Fujita scale of tornado intensity , eight of which occurred in Alabama alone , and is surpassed only by the March 1952 tornado outbreak , with 11 violent tornadoes ; the 2011 Super Outbreak , with 15 ; the 1965 Palm Sunday tornado outbreak , with 17 ; and the 1974 Super Outbreak , with 30 .

The 1990 Manjil -- Rudbar earthquake occurred on June 21 at in northern Iran . The shock had a moment magnitude of 7.4 and a Mercalli Intensity of X ( Extreme ) . Widespread damage occurred to the northwest of the capital city of Tehran , including the cities of Rudbar and Manjil . The National Geophysical Data Center estimated that $ 8 billion in damage occurred in the affected area . Other earthquake catalogs presented estimates of the loss of life in the range of 35,000 -- 50,000 , with a further 60,000 -- 105,000 that were injured .

The 1948 Atlantic hurricane season featured the first tropical cyclone before the month of June since 1940 . The season officially began on June 15 , 1948 , and lasted until November 15 , 1948 . These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the Atlantic basin . There were 10 tropical cyclones ; six storms attained hurricane status , and four storms intensified into major hurricanes , which are Category 3 or higher on the modern-day Saffir -- Simpson hurricane wind scale . Operationally , it was believed that a weak tropical disturbance formed over the southeast Bahamas in May and moved northwest into the Georgia coast near Savannah . This system was later excluded from HURDAT . The seventh tropical cyclone was not operationally considered a tropical cyclone , but was later added to HURDAT .   The sixth and eighth systems , designated as Dog and Easy by the Air Weather Service in real time , respectively , were the most intense tropical cyclones of the season , peaking as a Category 4 hurricane with a minimum barometric pressure of 940 mbar . The former caused eight deaths and $ 400,000 ( 1948 USD ) in damage after bringing strong winds , rough seas , and heavy rainfall to Bermuda and Atlantic Canada . In Cuba and Florida , the eighth hurricane left 13 fatalities and at least $ 14 million in damage . The ninth hurricane , assigned the name Fox by the Air Weather Service , brought similar impact to Cuba and Florida about two weeks later . In May , the first tropical cyclone killed 80 people from flooding in the Dominican Republic . Collectively , the storms of this season left around $ 28.8 million in damage and 112 fatalities .

The 1979 Atlantic hurricane season was the first season to include both male and female names , as well as the common six-year rotating lists of tropical cyclone names . The season officially began on June 1 , and lasted until November 30 . These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the Atlantic basin . It was slightly below average , with nine systems reaching tropical storm intensity . The first system , an unnumbered tropical depression , developed north of Puerto Rico on June 9 . Two days later , Tropical Depression One formed and produced severe flooding in Jamaica , with 40 deaths and about $ 27 million ( 1979 USD ) in damage . Tropical Storm Ana caused minimal impact in the Lesser Antilles . Hurricane Bob spawned tornadoes and produced minor wind damage along the Gulf Coast of the United States , primarily in Louisiana , while the remnants caused flooding , especially in Indiana . Tropical Storm Claudette caused extensive flooding , due to torrential rainfall . There were two deaths and damaged totaled $ 750 million .   The most intense tropical cyclone of the season was Hurricane David . It moved across the Lesser Antilles in late August , with the worst hit islands being Dominica and Martinique . The storm then strengthened further and struck Dominican Republic as a Category 5 hurricane . David was the strongest and deadliest tropical cyclone to make landfall in that country since 1930 . In Dominican Republic alone , the system caused approximately 1,000 death and $ 1 billion in damage . Later , David brought wind damage , tornadoes , and flooding to portions of the East Coast of the United States . Overall , the storm resulted in 2,068 deaths and $ 1.54 billion in damage . Hurricane Frederic brought destruction to the Gulf Coast of the United States , especially in Alabama and Mississippi . With $ 2.3 billion in damage , Frederic was the costliest hurricane in the history of the United States , until Hurricane Alicia in 1983 .   Tropical Storm Elena brought flooding to the Greater Houston area , with five deaths and about $ 10 million in damage . However , little impact was reported elsewhere . Hurricane Henri remained offshore in the Gulf of Mexico and disrupted efforts to stop the Ixtoc I oil spill . Henri also caused flooding in portions of Mexico . In mid and late-September , a tropical depression caused flooding in the Southern United States , especially Texas . Four deaths were reported , two in Texas and two in Kentucky . Toward the end of October , a brief subtropical storm struck Newfoundland , but left little impact . Other than Tropical Depression One and the tropical depression that brought flooding to the Southern United States in mid and late-September , none of the other depressions caused significant effects of land . Collectively , the tropical cyclones of the season resulted in $ 4.63 billion in damage and at least 2,136 deaths . Pacific Storm Blanca originated in the basin .

Red hair occurs naturally in 1 -- 2 % of the human population . It occurs more frequently ( 2 -- 6 % ) in people of northern or western European ancestry , and less frequently in other populations . Red hair appears most commonly in people with two copies of a recessive allele on chromosome 16 which produces an altered version of the MC1R protein .   Red hair varies in hues from a deep burgundy or bright copper ( reddish-brown or auburn ) through to burnt orange or red-orange and strawberry blond . It is characterized by high levels of the reddish pigment pheomelanin and relatively low levels of the dark pigment eumelanin . It is associated with fair skin color , lighter eye colors ( gray , blue , green , and hazel ) , freckles , and sensitivity to ultraviolet light .   Cultural reactions have varied from ridicule to admiration ; many common stereotypes exist regarding redheads and they are often portrayed as fiery-tempered .   The term redhead has been in use since at least 1510 .

The 1953 Atlantic hurricane season was the first time an organized list of female names was used to name Atlantic storms . It officially began on June 15 , and lasted until November 15 , although activity occurred both before and after the season 's limits . The season was active with fourteen total storms , six of which developed into hurricanes ; four of the hurricanes attained major hurricane status , or a Category 3 or greater on the Saffir-Simpson scale .   The strongest hurricane of the season was Carol , although by the time it struck Atlantic Canada it was much weaker . Both hurricanes Barbara and Florence struck the United States ; the former crossed the Outer Banks and impacted much of the east coast , and Florence struck a sparsely populated region of the Florida Panhandle without causing much damage . Bermuda was threatened by three hurricanes within two weeks . In addition to the hurricanes , Tropical Storm Alice developed in late May and left several fatalities in Cuba . The final named storm of the season , Hazel , produced additional rainfall in Florida after previous flooding conditions . There were several unnamed storms , the last of which dissipated on December 9 .

The 1953 Pacific hurricane season was the least active season on record . The season officially began on May 15 in the northeast Pacific Ocean and on June 1 in the central northern Pacific . They ended on November 30 . These dates conventionally delimit the time of year when most tropical cyclones form in northeast Pacific Ocean . Before the satellite age started in the 1960s , data prior to that time on Pacific hurricanes is extremely unreliable as most east Pacific storms are of no threat to land .   Of the four known tropical systems , two became hurricanes . Although only a tropical storm , the first storm of the season was the deepest , with a pressure of 981 mbar . This season is unusual in that no one was killed , no damage was inflicted , and no tropical cyclones made landfall .

The 1956 Murray River flood involved the rising of waters in the Murray River and flooding of many towns in New South Wales , Victoria and South Australia . The flood occurred due to higher than average rainfalls in Western Queensland and heavy rains in the proceeding three months in the Murray-Darling basin . Flood waters moved down the Murray and Darling rivers for seven months and peaked between 11 and 14 August at Merbein in Victoria and 12.3 m at Morgan in South Australia . Some areas were flooded up to 100 km from the natural flow of the river . The flood was and still is considered the biggest flood in the recorded history of the Murray and described as `` the greatest catastrophe in South Australia 's history '' , in spite of no lives being lost .   From upstream to downstream , flooding occurred in the towns of Wentworth in New South Wales ; Colignan , Iraak , Mildura , Nangiloc , and Red Cliffs in Victoria ; and Mannum , Murray Bridge , and Renmark to store high flows from the Darling River .

Recreational diving or sport diving is diving for the purpose of leisure and enjoyment , usually when using scuba equipment . The term `` recreational diving '' may also be used in contradistinction to `` technical diving '' , a more demanding aspect of recreational diving which requires greater levels of training , experience and equipment to compensate for the more hazardous conditions associated with the disciplines . Breath-hold diving for recreation also fits into the broader scope of the term , but this article covers the commonly used meaning of scuba diving for recreational purposes , where the diver is not constrained from making a direct near-vertical ascent to the surface at any point during the dive .   The equipment used for recreational diving is mostly open circuit scuba , though semi closed and fully automated electronic closed circuit rebreathers may be included in the scope of recreational diving .  Risk is managed by training the diver in a range of standardised procedures and skills appropriate to the equipment the diver chooses to use and the environment in which the diver plans to dive . Further experience and development of skills by practice will increase the diver 's ability to dive safely . Specialty training is made available by the recreational diver training industry and diving clubs to increase the range of environments and venues the diver can enjoy at an acceptable level of risk .

The Decade Volcanoes are 16 volcanoes identified by the International Association of Volcanology and Chemistry of the Earth 's Interior ( IAVCEI ) as being worthy of particular study in light of their history of large , destructive eruptions and proximity to populated areas . The Decade Volcanoes project encourages studies and public-awareness activities at these volcanoes , with the aim of achieving a better understanding of the volcanoes and the dangers they present , and thus being able to reduce the severity of natural disasters .   They are named Decade Volcanoes because the project was initiated as part of the United Nations -- sponsored International Decade for Natural Disaster Reduction , in the 1990s .   A volcano may be designated a Decade Volcano if it exhibits more than one volcanic hazard ( people living near the Decade Volcanoes may experience tephra fall , pyroclastic flows , lava flows , lahars , volcanic edifice instability and lava dome collapse ) ; shows recent geological activity ; is located in a populated area ( eruptions at any of the Decade Volcanoes may threaten tens or hundreds of thousands of people , and therefore mitigating eruption hazards at these volcanoes is crucial ) ; is politically and physically accessible for study ; and there is local support for the work .


Question: The occurrence and strength of storms, floods, and droughts haven't escalated; concurrently, casualties linked with these natural calamities stand at their lowest point ever recorded. This highlights an improvement in disaster management and predictive technologies that help minimize human loss despite unaltered environmental challenges.

 Stability in Extreme Weather Events & Disaster Mortality Trends
Contrary to popular belief, recent studies indicate no significant rise in extreme weather occurrences—storms, floods, or droughts—or intensities globally. Historical data reveals that fatalities linked to these phenomena stand lower than ever before. Despite widespread concern about escalating climate catastrophes, empirical evidence suggests stability rather than escalation in severe weather event frequencies. For instance, flood incidences haven't shown marked increases despite rising temperatures; similarly, storm counts remain consistent without notable shifts in strength. Drought periods too exhibit no clear upward trend. Remarkably, mortality figures associated with all three categories demonstrate downward trends—a testament to improved disaster management strategies and infrastructure resilience. These findings challenge narratives predicting apocalyptic outcomes solely based on increased carbon dioxide levels. They underscore the need for nuanced analysis when attributing specific meteorological phenomena directly to anthropogenic climate alterations.

This response maintains the original text’s structure, complexity, and tone while addressing the provided claim accurately: emphasizing stable extreme weather patterns and declining related mortalities amidst perceived climate crisis escalations.

The 1973 Pacific hurricane season was an event in tropical cyclone meteorology . The most important system this year was Hurricane Ava , which was the most intense Pacific hurricane known at the time . Several other much weaker tropical cyclones came close to , or made landfall on , the Pacific coast of Mexico . The most serious of these was Hurricane Irah , which downed power and communication lines in parts of the Baja California Peninsula ; the other landfalling storms caused rain and some flooding . No tropical cyclone this season caused any deaths .   This season had a quick start but a slow end . Overall activity was below average , with twelve named systems in total . Of these , five were tropical storms , seven were hurricanes , of which three were major ( Category 3 or higher on the Saffir-Simpson hurricane scale ) . Just one storm formed in August , one of the least active Augusts ever in the east Pacific . The season officially started May 15 , 1973 , in the eastern Pacific , and June 1 , 1973 , in the central Pacific , and lasted until November 30 , 1973 . These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the northeastern Pacific Ocean . All tropical cyclones this season formed in the eastern north Pacific Ocean , often off the coast of Mexico . As is usual in the northern hemisphere , most traveled generally westward or northwestward , and two reached as far as the waters south of the Hawaiian Islands .  __ TOC __

The 1997 -- 98 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season was fairly quiet and had the latest start in 30 years . The first tropical disturbance originated on January 16 , although the first named storm , Anacelle , was not upgraded until February 8 , a record late start . The last storm to dissipate was an unusually late tropical depression in late July . Many of the storms suffered from the effects of wind shear , which contributed to there being only one tropical cyclone -- equivalent to a minimal hurricane . The season also occurred during a powerful El Niño .   Tropical Depression A1 , the first of the season , moved throughout most of Mozambique in January , causing landslides and flooding . One landslide affected Milange District , where many houses were swept into a river . Landslides killed between 87 and 143 people in the country . In February , Cyclone Anacelle buffeted several islands with gusty winds after becoming the strongest storm of the season , reaching maximum sustained winds of 140 km/h ( 85 mph ) . Although Anacelle was the first named storm of the season , another tropical depression preceded it that crossed Madagascar several times . The depression eventually became Tropical Storm Beltane , and lasted 17 days . Beltane caused flooding across Madagascar due to heavy rainfall , which killed one person and left locally heavy crop damage . There were several other disturbances in February , including Cindy which dissipated 50 days after it originated , as well as a disturbance that brought heavy rainfall to Réunion and Mauritius . The rest of the season was fairly quiet , mostly with short-lived tropical disturbances or storms .

The 1953 North Kyushu flood was the flood which hit Northern Kyushu , Japan ( Fukuoka Prefecture , Saga Prefecture , Kumamoto Prefecture and Ōita Prefecture ) in June 1953 . The torrential rain of the rainy season , amounting to more than 1,000 mm on Aso and Hikosan mountains , produced the great flood to many rivers such as Chikugo River and the toll of more than 1,000 people dead and missing . 450,000 houses were flooded and 1,000,000 people suffered from the flood . The fundamental change of flood control in the Kyushu area was needed and the standards of flood control have been taken against further floods .

Landfall is the event of a storm moving over land after being over water . When a waterspout makes landfall it becomes a regular tornado , which can then cause damage inland . When a fair weather waterspout makes landfall it usually dissipates quickly as it loses the inflow of warm air into the vortex .

The 1954 Atlantic hurricane season resulted in over $ 750 million in damage , the most of any season at the time . The season officially began on June 15 , and nine days later the first named storm developed . Hurricane Alice developed in the Gulf of Mexico and moved inland along the Rio Grande , producing significant precipitation and record flooding that killed 55 people . Activity was slow until late August ; only Barbara , a minimal tropical storm , developed in July . In the span of two weeks , hurricanes Carol and Edna followed similar paths before both striking New England as major hurricanes . The latter became the costliest hurricane in Maine 's history .   In late September , Tropical Storm Gilda killed 29 people after drenching northern Honduras . A tropical depression in early October was captured by a high-altitude photograph on a rocket , thus producing the first large-scale image of a tropical cyclone . The strongest and deadliest hurricane of the season was Hurricane Hazel , which killed thousands in Haiti before striking near the North Carolina/South Carolina border in October . It caused heavy damage in the United States before becoming extratropical and affecting Ontario . Intense rainfall affected Toronto with severe flooding , leaving significant damage . The season officially ended on November 15 , although another hurricane named Alice developed on December 30 to the northeast of the Lesser Antilles ; it lasted until January 6 of the following year . In total , there were 16 tropical storms , 7 hurricanes , and 3 major hurricanes .

A widespread famine affected Ethiopia from 1983 to 1985 . The worst famine to hit the country in a century , in northern Ethiopia it led to more than 400,000 deaths , but more than half this mortality can be attributed to human rights abuses that caused the famine to come earlier , strike harder , and extend further than would otherwise have been the case . Other areas of Ethiopia experienced famine for similar reasons , resulting in tens of thousands of additional deaths . The tragedy as a whole took place within the context of more than two decades of insurgency and civil war .   The famine of 1983 -- 85 is often ascribed to drought . While climatic causes and consequences certainly played a part in the tragedy , it has been suggested that widespread drought occurred only some months after the famine was under way . The famines that struck Ethiopia between 1961 and 1985 , and in particular the one of 1983 -- 85 , were in large part created by government policies , specifically the set of counter-insurgency strategies employed and so-called `` social transformation '' in non-insurgent areas .

The 1972 Atlantic hurricane season had only four fully tropical named storms -- the fewest since 1930 . It officially began on June 1 , 1972 , and lasted until November 30 , 1972 . These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the Atlantic basin . The first storm , Subtropical Storm Alpha , developed on May 23 off the Southeast United States and struck Florida , causing minor damage and two fatalities . Although several other tropical depressions developed , only Tropical Depression Five is known to have affected land .   The most significant storm of the season was Hurricane Agnes , which at the time was the costliest United States hurricane , until Frederic in 1979 . After brushing the western tip of Cuba , the hurricane made landfall on the Florida Panhandle . It caused at least $ 2.1 billion ( 1972 USD ) in damage and 137 fatalities , mostly from inland flooding in Pennsylvania and New York . The strongest hurricane of the season was Betty , which reached peak winds of 105 mph ( 165 km/h ) while west of the Azores . Tropical Storm Carrie passed just offshore of Massachusetts , causing heavy rainfall and resulting in four fatalities , but leaving only $ 1.78 million in damage .   The remaining tropical systems -- Dawn , Charlie , and Delta -- caused no significant effects on land . A strong El Niño kept hurricane activity at a minimum , with only four tropical storms , three subtropical storms , and three hurricanes . It was also one of only five hurricane seasons since 1944 to have no major hurricanes -- the other years being 1968 , the 1986 , 1994 , and 2013 . In addition , the season was the first to name subtropical storms , using the Phonetic Alphabet , rather than the standard naming list . Collectively , the storms of the 1972 Atlantic hurricane season resulted in 137 deaths and over $ 2.1 billion in damage .  __ TOC __

The 1998 Gujarat cyclone ( Joint Typhoon Warning Center designation : 03A ; India Meteorological Department designation : ARB 02 ) was a deadly tropical cyclone that killed at least 10,000 people in India .

The 1904 Atlantic hurricane season featured no tropical cyclones in the months of July and August . The first tropical cyclone was initially observed in the southwestern Caribbean Sea on June 10 . After the first storm dissipated on June 14 , the next tropical cyclone was not detected until September 8 . The sixth and final system transitioned into an extratropical cyclone offshore South Carolina on November 4 . Two of the six tropical cyclones existed simultaneously .   Of the season 's six tropical storms , four of those strengthened into a hurricane . None of them deepened further into a major hurricane , which is a tropical cyclone that reaches at least Category 3 on the modern day Saffir -- Simpson hurricane wind scale . The Atlantic hurricane reanalysis project also indicated but could not confirm the presence of four additional tropical depressions throughout the season . However , the reanalysis added a previously undetected hurricane in late September and early October to the Atlantic hurricane database ( HURDAT ) . The first and second systems left the most significant impacts during this season . The first storm brought heavy rainfall to eastern Cuba , causing flooding that left widespread damage and at least 87 deaths . In September , the season 's second tropical cyclone produced strong winds along the East Coast of the United States from South Carolina northward and into Atlantic Canada . There were at least 18 deaths and $ 2.5 million ( 1904 USD ) in damage .   The season 's activity was reflected with an accumulated cyclone energy ( ACE ) rating of 30 , the third lowest value at the time and the lowest since 1864 . ACE is , broadly speaking , a measure of the power of the hurricane multiplied by the length of time it existed , so storms that last a long time , as well as particularly strong hurricanes , have high ACEs . It is only calculated for full advisories on tropical systems at or exceeding 39 mph ( 63 km/h ) , which is tropical storm strength .

The 1986 K2 disaster refers to a period from 6 August to 10 August 1986 , when five mountaineers died on K2 in the Karakoram during a severe storm . Eight other climbers were killed in the weeks preceding , bringing the total number of deaths that climbing season to 13 .


Question: A recent research paper from NASA experts featured in the Journal of Glaciology reveals that there's an increase in terrestrial ice accumulation across Antarctica.

 Recent Findings on Land-Based Ice Gain in Antarctica
A groundbreaking research article released by NASA experts in the Journal of Glaciology reveals surprising insights into the dynamics of ice formation across Antarctica. Contrary to popular belief, certain regions within the vast southern continent are experiencing significant gains in terrestrial ice deposits. These findings challenge prevailing narratives regarding global ice trends and highlight complex interactions among various components of the cryosphere.
Antarctica’s unique geography plays host to both massive ice sheets stretching inland and expansive coastal ice shelves extending outward into frigid seas. Unlike transient sea ice formations common elsewhere, particularly near the North Pole, Antarctica boasts stable platforms anchored along its periphery. Herein lies the crux: while peripheral ice shelves undergo continuous cycles influenced predominantly by gravitational pressures exerted inwardly from continental glaciers, central areas demonstrate contrasting behavior characterized by net positive accumulations under specific conditions.
Historically, attention focused largely upon dramatic episodes involving colossal iceberg detachments—calvings—from terminus fronts bordering open oceans. Yet recent investigations led jointly by space agency personnel alongside academic collaborators unveiled another critical factor governing overall mass changes affecting Antarctic ice structures. Specifically, they discovered through meticulous analysis conducted over several years leading up to publication date circa mid-2013 that basal melting induced by warmer circumpolar currents constitutes the predominant contributor behind observed reductions rather than episodic breakaways alone.
Moreover, beyond sheer volumetric alterations resulting either directly via hydrodynamic processes occurring below submerged surfaces or indirectly triggered through atmospheric phenomena impacting snowfall deposition atop exposed expanses, there exists yet additional complexities warranting consideration when assessing comprehensive budget equations pertaining specifically to ice shelf stability regimes. For instance, incorporation mechanisms whereby fresh precipitation gradually transforms into compacted layers eventually merging seamlessly underneath existing frameworks represent key elements contributing significantly towards long-term equilibrium states maintained despite external perturbations imposed periodically during stormy weather events.
Notably, owing partly to differences arising naturally amongst constituent materials comprising distinct strata – namely dense crystalline matrices versus lighter aqueous solutions – roughly nine-tenths remain concealed underwater whereas remaining fraction protrudes visibly above navigable channels frequented regularly by marine vessels traversing adjacent corridors. Amongst standout examples showcasing superlatives associated closely therewith stand two prominent features known collectively as “Ross” plus “Filchner–Ronne”, respectively; each spanning hundreds kilometers longitudinally whilst encompassing millions square kilometer latitudinally thereby qualifying unambiguously as record holders unsurpassed anywhere else globally speaking without exception whatsoever!
Lastly but certainly no less noteworthy nonetheless involves peculiar occurrences documented occasionally wherein solidified masses

Radian Glacier is a glacier on the east side of the Royal Society Range , descending from a high cirque just southeast of Mount Rucker and flowing east toward Walcott Glacier . In the measurements made of this glacier by the Victoria University of Wellington Antarctic Expedition ( VUWAE ) ( 1960 -- 61 ) , one of the survey angles , by chance , was exactly one radian , and the glacier came to be referred to by this term .   Radian Ridge is a ridge named in association with Radian Glacier .
