Agree with most of what you said, but one thing I'd emphasise is that whilst those kinds of natural disasters have happend throughout history, is the frequency of which they're happening which is the concern.
You have storms which were once in a generation happening every 20 years or so now, and we're the cause.
Absolutely. I hope I was clear: we're absolutely in a man-made climate crisis, and our global addiction to cars is part of it.
The only reason only the cars were affected wasn't because nature hates cars, but because we build buildings betterw than we used to. Mud slides and floods have been wiping out entire towns since... well, since humans started building houses.
(A generation is about 20 years, though I get that you mean 80-100).
Once in a generation means within the lifespan of a generation, not till a new generation is born.
