Only small issues with just two of his examples
Droughts floods & storms/fatality rates..... in the 1920s there wasn't good forcasting, communications, infrastructure, services or emergency aid programs.
Malaria/decline.....drainage.
Such massive non climate related changes make their inclusion as measures questionable

I do like the reference to pseudoscience of futurology, something the "rationalist" OP practices

There is an interesting book called "The great betrayal" by Horace Freeland Judson which touches the topic on freud in science. It takes up some serious issues with peer-review and the way science funding works today. As a scientist by profession I'm glad to see that these debates come up.
