If we didn't waste our breath saying "look at all these natural disasters, the world is going to end, armageddon is upon us, (and most of all) JESUS IS COMING!!!!" then we could deal with the disasters in a better way.
Here's the facts.
1. Natural Disasters seem to be on the rise because with every one that kills over 10 people the media totally blows it out of proportion with screaming headlines and supposed "facts."
2. There is an increase in hurricane frequency and strength this year, because the average water temperature for the atlantic has climbed one degree. That does not sound like much, but it has a profound effect when it comes to hurricanes. Blame Global Warming, Blame Natural Events, that's why its happening, and it can go back to normal. Who knows what will happen next year.
3. Natural Disasters are only affecting us more because there's more people around to kill each time. Take the Earthquakes in Southeast Asia and Pakistan for instance: For the past 100 million years, those region has been a massive hotbed for volcanic (and where you have volcanoes, you have earthquakes) activity because the Austrailian Plate (which consists of Austrailia, Indonesia, and India) is colliding with the Asian plate. It's why the himalyayas and the Tibetan Plateau are there. For those of you here who are educated, you probably knew that.
4. If you're going to reply to this and say that everything I'm puting forward here is false because the world is only 6,000 years old, don't even bother. You won't get anywhere other than make yourself look like a fundamentalist bafoon because I've got a reply ready for your type. Just wanted to make that clear.
