実際の所、今回のMochaの被害を思えばよい。どうも報告された死者は200名程度にとどまるという。ナルギスを思えば、被害はほぼゼロとまでいえるほどの比率だろう。
BBC Why is extreme weather killing fewer people? 22 May 2023 By Justin Rowlatt
発展途上国においても早期警戒システム―というか、早めの避難を呼びかけるボランティアとかが展開し、それで十分、死者を減らすことができている様子。尤も、それは人間の価値が高まったからでもあろう。経済的損失はうなぎのぼりの中である。富を生み出す人間は非常に重要な「資材」のひとつなのだ。
「Extreme weather has caused trillions of dollars of economic damage in the last half century, but the human death toll has fallen dramatically.
The economic cost of floods, storms and wildfires has accelerated since 1970, according to a World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) report.
But better early warning systems and disaster management in developing countries mean fewer people are dying.
They caused 22,608 deaths between 2019 and 2021, fewer than in earlier years.」
Mochaの被害は80万人以上の避難民と―200名程度の死者。それで済んでいるんだから上々だ。
「At least 800,000 people are reported to be in need of emergency food aid and other assistance, but the number of people killed is currently estimated to have been less than 200.
In the past such a storm would have caused death tolls of tens or even hundreds of thousands of people, said Mr Taalas.」
なおこの手の犠牲者の47％はアジア地域から出ている。ヨーロッパ地域は８%。
…アジア人としてはもうちょっと泰然自若としてみたらどうだ、少なくとも抗議行動で炭であっちこっち汚損する間抜けをさらす前に、物質の性質についてちみっと調べる程度の脳細胞は働かすといいぞ、という気はする。
「Asia accounted for 47% of all reported deaths worldwide - nearly one million - with tropical cyclones being the leading cause.
Bangladesh had the highest death toll in Asia since 1970 with 520,758, attributed to 281 disasters.
In Europe, 166,492 people were killed in 1,784 disasters, accounting for 8% of reported deaths worldwide.」
