20 years is a very short amount of time in the Earth’s long and varied history…Continents move, ice melts, it’s been happening over and over again for millions of years, we just happen to be living through one the periods of change.
Yes, humans suck at managing the planet, but these things are not all the result of our recklessness.

Indeed. But we just cant ignore it - we have to adapt.

You adapt. I want to keep my freedom. Adapt to what? Adapt to who? Better be sure before you decide to do this.

20 years is indeed a short time to compare historical data. This is another example of biased reporting to change people into mind numbed robots. Wake up people or we will be saluting our “leaders” soon.

Adapt to the fact that we are experiencing more natural disasters, meaning build better homes, manage better ways of coping with disasters, pour more funds and resources in to helping country’s that can’t deal with these problems.
This has nothing to do with global warming which I think you’re trying to get at. (tin foil hat ftw)
