This is a way to lie with statistics.
The author takes a very selective portion of the graph to make it appear the current rates are an aberration.
The chart below was listed in the article's biography, so it isn't as if the author did not know the facts.

Should be “article’s bibliography”, not “article’s biography”.

As your namesake said “Lies, damned lies, and statistics”.
THANK YOU VERY, VERY MUCH for the longer term data.
Just like global warming - pick a low point in 1972 or wherever and go from there.
