I think one thing is the Pacific Rim is becoming more active, a natural event. There is also the phenomena of the magnetic poles shifting, and from my reading it seems this happens very quickly in our perceptual ability, not geological time.
I really don't see any 'hand' in these natural events. But the Gulf oil spill was not a natural event, the nuclear plant catastrophe is not a natural event, fucking Chinese industrial toxic waste being added to the water and food supply is not a natural event. SO much of the 'disaster' part of these events are because poor people live in cardboard houses in the most succeptible areas - or in Japan, people conveniently ignored the signs left by previous residents hundreds of years earlier warning of tsunami. ONe of my coworkers flew to Japan last friday. We think he's insane, but he has family there.
