A little thang called Global Warming :)

There have always been natural disasters. It is also not uncommon to feel they are happening more frequently now than they have in times past since we are hearing of them currently. Also, since the advent of the internet, we now get news around the world much more immediately than finding it in the paper on page 4. But if you look for information on any natural disaster, whether hurricanes, earthquakes, volcanoes, floods, tidal waves, wildfires, landslides, etc. you will find this activity has occurred throughout history in a random manner quite similar to the events which occur today.

Because of global warming... There are a couple world breaking disasters in the 21st century. here are some... http://bullishmoves.com/events/top-6-worst-disasters-of-the-21s/

global warming.. is the culprit.. lets sue him..

The storms and natural disasters have not increased in number or severity in the past 100 years. The reason it seems so is because 1. Storms get more media attention and 2. People have been moving more and more into big cities near water, where most of these disasters occur (tsunamis, hurricanes, floods, etc.). People look at hurricane Katrina as being one of the worst storms in history. While it was costly, an estimated $100 billion in damages, it was only so because of the increased development in that area. "In fact, if you look at all storms from 1900 to 2005 and imagine today's populations on the coasts, as Roger Pielke Jr., and his colleagues did in a 2008 Natural Hazards Review paper, you would see that the worst hurricane would have actually happened in 1926. If it happened today, the Great Miami storm would have caused from $140 billion to $157 billion in damages. (Hurricane Katrina, the costliest storm in U.S. history, caused $100 billion in losses.) "There has been no trend in the number or intensity of storms at landfall since 1900," says Pielke, a professor of environmental studies at the University of Colorado. "The storms themselves haven't changed." http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1838400,00.html
