Answer:
All kinds of human activities leave the indelible imprint on nature, whether we like it or not. Scientists focus extensively on estimating the level of human engagement to the occurrence of natural disasters. Some people still doubt that humanity is able to influence nature to that extent; however, pallid statistics claim the opposite.
The Centre for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters (CRED) has been studying this issue for over 40 years and has published the report according to which within 19 years (1994-2013) 6,973 natural disasters took 1.35 million lives.
The number of reported natural disasters increases every year. One of the reasons for it is the development of the data collection methods and raising awareness of different agencies that actively search for information about natural disasters.
However, the main reason is the increasing number of hydro-meteorological disasters: droughts, floods, typhoons, etc. Within 20 years the number of such disasters tripled from 100 to 300 per year. It is telling that the number of natural geological disasters that cannot be influenced by humans (volcanic eruptions, landslides, etc.) remained the same.
