We've been getting non-stop snow here :(

I hate being greeted by that obnoxious pervert plow guy every morning.

1. We've had fewer hurricanes the past 2 years, not more.

2. Climate change deniers aside, the effect of global warming on hurricanes is very much unknown at this point.

3. None of this has any impact on earthquakes.

4. There were already known to be natural 20-30 storm cycles in the US. The last such cycles ended in the 60s, before large numbers of people migrated south. Thus they took the "calm period" to be normal, and expected to stay that way forever. When the storms returned, more people were living in high risk areas than ever before, and so more are affected, more property destroyed, and people chalk it up to the storm itself being "worse."

Ever since 2005, we've had very calm hurricane seasons here in the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico.

It was as if everything came to a head in 2005, and died off afterwards. Katrina and Rita were some of the worst hurricanes to hit since Camille back in 1969.

China had the worst snow in 60 years this year. Most of southern China generally has pretty mild winters, with only the occasional (2-3) light snow falls through the season. This year most of southern China had snow for 3-4 weeks straight and it caused absolute chaos because it was during the holiday season.
