Climate change is making tsunamis deadlier by letting waves push further inland as sea levels rise. Coastal defenses like mangroves and coral reefs are being wiped out, stripping communities of natural protection. Governments must invest in early warning systems and climate-resilient infrastructure now — the compounding risks are too serious to ignore.
Earth has survived five ice ages, massive earthquakes and tsunamis long before humans existed. CO₂ levels historically ran two to three times higher than today's 420 ppm with zero human involvement. Pinning every natural disaster on human activity shuts down legitimate scientific inquiry into the real, complex forces driving these events.
