I think all of those things are clearly caused by the increase in atmospheric CO2, and the correlated reduction in maritime piracy.

Or, mayhaps, there are more mundane, economic explanations for them...

I agree. I think it matches the absurdity of the original comment perfectly.

Would you agree that there's a real relation there, though? That piracy was affected by industrialization and militarization as was CO2 output?
