The other day a friend of mine said that "maybe there is something in this 2012-story" as we talked about the latest natural "catastrophe" (Eyjafjallajokull ). As I mentioned that to another friend she also said that she believed that all these catastrophes are not normal, and "something strange is going on".
The truth, according to the article I link to below, is that there is nothing "strange" going on. There is actually no more geological activity now compared with normal activity. However, it is true that more people dies in those activities now, and that will probably be a trend (even though Haiti hopefully is an exception) as the habitants on the earth increases.
For instance, the Eyjafjallajokull activity is relatively mild. In 1783 Laki had an eruption which killed 1/4 of Islands habitants and altered the climate on North Europe for years.
I don't want to think what it would have done to the flight industry!!
