How not to be ignorant about the world
modulousI'm guessing the data is from "THIRTY YEARS OF NATURAL DISASTERS
1974-2003: THE NUMBERS".Hoyois, P., Debarati Guha Sapir. Oxford University Press, 2012.
I actually like Hans Rosling, has he helps put a lot of things into proper perspective, but I just realized, that first graphic with the deaths from natural disasters is completely wrong.
At around the 2000 there's a slight bump, that seems to rise up to about 50,000 death/year, and then it lowers again...But in 2004 is when the Indian Ocean tsunami occured. At least 250,000 people died, which should have jumped the graphic way past where the "C." is.
Something is not right.
