Natural disasters recently stroke our planet, such as huge flood, storm, earthquake, forest in fire. Why these disasters come to our live more frequently than before ? Do You have opinion ?

I'm not sure they are worse than before. I mean there were some MAJOR disasters in antiquity. Also, 100 years ago you wouldn't hear about stuff that happened across the globe. Maybe we just hear about things more now.

Sure, here is a famous disaster, that we know of: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pompeii I'm sure there are lots more we don't know about. Some others: The Yucatan Crater Event: http://www.sciencedailydaily.com/releases/2000/12/001225061758.htm The Crete Earthquake in 365: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/365_Crete_earthquake Some old, but not ancient ones: The Tunguska Event: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tunguska_event The 1883 Krakatoa Eruption: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krakatoa

Whoops, my links got all chewed up! Oh well. I was telling you about Pompeii, The Yucatan Peninsula Crater, The Tunguska Event, the 365 Earthquake in Crete and the 1883 eruption of Krakatoa.
