I was confused by that, too. I have a problem with the word ‘dearth’ in that I can often not remember whether it means an abundance or scarcity. So I looked it up, and found that it means scarcity. Perhaps GP makes the same mistake I do and misused dearth to mean abundance?

Yes, it means scarcity and the GP used it to mean abundance.

My mnemonic is that "dearth" looks like "death".
