Well I am not a scientist, and we read all kind of rubbish about the global warming and other significant ecologic threats on our planet; it is sometimes hard to distinguish proven scientific facts from goofy hypothesis or blockbuster movies scripts...
Last natural disaster in date :
Saomai typhoon in Zhejiang and Fujian provinces of China. Death toll as of today : 100-120 according to French newspaper Le Monde.
Is it me, or we get more and more often news of a typhoon, earthquake, flood, hurricane, ... not mentioning the heat wave who killed about 100 people in France, of the forest fires in Spain & Portugal...
So I can not clearly decide which of the 3 following statements I should believe in :
- mother nature is punishing us harder and harder for our unconscious behaviour (yes, I am thinking american SUVs)
- increasing media coverage and internet bring to our attention more and more disasters that went un-noticed from us before. So the whole "it is getting worse and worse" thing is actually not true.
- there is a clear & unique scientifically established link between human behaviour and the increasing number of natural catastrophies. Well then - please explain it to me, and I will see what I can do.
