“We feel a lack of water resources will be the first symptoms of the global warming pandemic that will cause widespread death.”
In terms of lethality, floods can be more lethal than droughts due to their potential to cause widespread destruction and loss of life. Floods can lead to severe flooding events, as seen in recent years, where they have claimed numerous lives and caused significant property damage. Droughts can also increase the risk of severe flooding, as dry soil is less capable of absorbing water, leading to rapid runoff and flash floods. Therefore, while both can be dangerous, floods often have a higher impact on life and property compared to droughts.
“Government’s will not necessarily tell people the truth about things.”
Who killed the most people in history?
The title of the most catastrophic event in human history is often attributed to the 1931 Floods in China, which are estimated to have killed almost four million people. This disaster, also known as the Yangtze River floods, occurred in August 1931 due to excessive rainfall and snowmelt, leading to widespread flooding in central and eastern China. The floods affected more than 50 million people, with the death toll varying from 2 million to 4 million, depending on the source. The floods also caused widespread starvation and the spread of diseases among the displaced population.
