There are constant natural disasters, pandemics, famines, wars, climate going berserk… and if you look at the world population counter, it’s still going up.
With 8 billion people out there, an average lifespan of 80 would make it “normal” for 100 million to die each year. The average lifespan is barely over 72, though, that’s got room for a lot of disasters in there.Any global disaster that doesn’t kill at least 10% of the population, or over 800 million, is barely going to register on a “species” scale.
Brace yourself for a disaster a day for the foreseeable future. This is the new normal.
