Natural Disasters - Everywhere These Days

There's been a lot of natural disasters lately.

Here's one in India -- nine tourists were killed and several were injured after a massive rockslide hit a bridge in Himachal Pradesh’s Sangla Valley yesterday, July 25th, 2021.

Where storms are concerned, I agree with you. As for earthquakes, most[0] aren't man-induced, so I mostly disagree with you.

 

 

[0] I know of some man induced earthquakes caused by natural gas extraction in the Dutch province Groningen.

Fracking for gas has been blamed for causing quakes in a few places.

Now the Gulfstream might collapse (or not )

Of course Climate change being mooted, but nothing mentioned about the fact that most floods are caused by building houses on flood plains and deforestation.

Greece and Turkey getting hammered now.

 

Much of Russia is a giant field of Hogweed now. They virtually destroyed a vast area of their agricultural lands.
