Why are we seeing more and more extreme damage from heavy rain?

242 views

We’re seeing more news about damage from downpours lately, and it seems to be happening more often. I’m wondering if it’s because of global warming, which is causing more seawater to evaporate. As the water evaporates, it rains more, which can lead to flooding and other damage. I’m not sure if this is the only factor, but it seems like a likely possibility.

More stuff is getting damaged…. because there’s more stuff to damage. There’s 3 billion more people now than 40 years ago. And 24-hr news cycle you hear about it right away. Again 40 years ago if some village washed away in Thailand or Bangladesh you’d never hear about it.
