>>In the 300 years of ice-age between 1500 and 1840 AD, 37 famine years occurred. In the 600 years preceding 1500 (a warmer period) only 12 famine years occurred. In the cool period preceding 1920, drought in India occurred on an average of once every 8.6 years. As the global temperatures did rise between 1920 and 1960, one drought was averaged every 14 years.
During the warmest decade of the 1930s the probability of drought in India was only one in 18 years. An increased frequency of drought and famine has occurred in the past when Average Global Temperatures declined as little as 2 degree centigrade. <<
