"During the special Assembly session convened to discuss the relief and rehabilitation measures underway to cope with the state’s worst floods in a century, Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan informed the House that a total of 483 people lost their lives in rain-related incidents this monsoon. While 14 people are reported to be still missing, around 140 people were admitted to hospitals during this period.
Vijayan, who deferred his trip to the US for medical treatment scheduled for earlier this month to lead his administration’s rehabilitation exercise, said the losses due to the floods and landslides are more than the state’s annual plan. In the 2017-18 fiscal year, Kerala’s annual plan outlay was pegged at Rs 26,500 crore.
“The rescue operations which took place at the height of the monsoon are without comparison. To all those who sacrificed their lives to help others, who took brave and daring steps to rescue one another, we want to offer a big salute,” the chief minister said in his speech."





Rainfall Kerala Districts 2018 Weekly departures from Normal, %. The columns in the following Table refer to the rains in Week ending dates mentioned against each column.





From the IMD link:


World dam dynamics cause extremes of rain with excessive weekly percentage departures from the normal. See the IMD link given above and Ref 1,2,3,4,5,6 and 7. In this article, the analysis of world dam dynamics causing Kerala Floods is given. The prerequisites are the References 1-7 for proof of world dam dynamics causing floods and climate change. See Table 1 for Results of the analysis.Column R BF,BJ is correlation Coefficient between Thiruvananthapuram departure and Kerala departure as Weekly percent rain departures.
Its p is p3. Note that the simultaneous temperature departure correlations and the intra depature correlation jointly is p1p2p3 and is vanishingly small.




 The analysis is captured in the following graphs: Figure 1,Figure 2 and Figure 3:






 The number of earthquakes has increased by two orders of magnitude in the dam era compared to the pre-dam era. And the mean duration between successive  earthquakes has decreased for significant earthquakes in the world from 4.9633 to 0.0422 years respectively. And the mean time between earthquakes in the hydrological year 2017-18 stood at 0.012431457 of a day or every 17.9 minutes. This enormous increase in frequency of earthquakes has greatly increased the direct heating up of the earth by dams. See the following Table:







To see how the Kerala surface temperatures have increased due to earthquakes caused by dams in the period June to 12 September 2018 see the following time series for shock input temperatures on the Thiruvanthapuram area for the 8.2 MM Fiji great earthquake:




The solution to the disasters caused by modern civilization:

Ecologically reforest the world making dams infinitely inferior to forests. Simultaneously phase out the dams asap. Move away from modern civilization, a society of specialists. See Reference 8.

While specialists recognise that extreme rainfall events caused the Kerala floods of August 2018, they fail to see the root cause of the Kerala floods were the dams themselves:

This article glibly ignores the effect of World dam dynamics itself on the extreme rainfall events.

Re: https://www.thehindu.com/opinion/lead/the-message-from-the-ipcc-report/article35946913.ece?homepage=true
This article is a big zero because it ignores my work on dams as the principal cause of many catastrophes befalling the wild man and his industrial revolution. In living in this world by his own will and skill, the stupidest peasant or tribesman is more competent than the most intelligent worker or technician or intellectual in a society of specialists- Wendell Berry In the Unsettling of America- Culture and Agriculture.
