The number and severity of natural disasters is increasing. Is this a sign of the end or is there a natural explanation?

Math 24:7
There will be famines and earthquakes in various places

Climate change and fracking, as well as better worldwide reporting.

Also, that graph isn't about frequency, it's about the damages in US dollars. Since stuff is worth more today, surprise, surprise, the damages are higher, too.

This doesn't account for all natural disasters, but increased hurricanes on the US east coast and increased wildfires on the US west coast are being linked to climate change.

I bought a 17 year old car once.

It was better than anything on the market today.

After a number of years, things started breaking.

(same with so-called "new" cars bought six months ago ! )

"The number and severity of " things breaking is increasing....

The hurry canes were presumably linked also to who was in office (president).

Supposedly, FOR FOUR YEARS, during one administration, there were no hurricanes.

Before and after that administration, someone caused them , or not ?

Do you speak for God? Do you have access to God's thoughts?

The christian God is angry. Maybe some other God isn't angry but the christian God is definitely angry. Lets love one another if were looking for a simple answer.

Can you tell me which four years? I live on the east coast of the US, and I don't remember any years with no hurricanes at all. They're a standard part of our late summer/early fall weather system.

Someone told me the information several months ago, but I didn't care at the time (still don't) , so I don't remember which years or which administration it was - just thought at the time it might be something to verify later, if possible.

You didn't answer the questions.

I thought you were talking to someone else about do i speak for God. No.
Some christians do in fact speak for God. I'm not one of those christians. Does that answer your question? Prophets and prophecies are both a old and new testament concept. I have met prophets at charismatic churches and even Calvinist churches. A person in my family did a single prophecy among others that may have done so. I'm not going to talk about myself. I've met athiest who claim to have prophesied (sounds irrational right but even that is somewhat biblical (Balaam))

We all need to repent.

I find it amazing that in this 21st century with all of our technological advances and knowledge, and people still pin it on "God" when it comes to things like the weather and natural disasters.

Thats because we believe in God. To me that seems rational.

OK, you don't speak for God; you don't have access to his thoughts and yet you "know" he's angry. You'll forgive me if I don't believe you.

I'll definitely not expect you to believe me. So many people had bad child hoods growing up that if they temporarily reject the gospel, on a personal level i don't expect them to right away except the gospel.

The Bible does list things that make him angry in the Bible. This is an artifact of me believing the Bible.
