Some people say that climate change won't cause more disasters

 

Japan disagrees.

Extreme rainfall events are increasing around the world.  Extreme rainfall events (the highest 1% of the amount of rainfall delivered by a storm(s) in a short period of time, like one day) cause landslides and flash floods.   Landslides and flash floods are disaster that destroy property and endanger lives.

Rescuers seek 24 missing people after deadly landslide in Japan seaside town

"Some areas had received more rain in 24 hours than they normally receive in the whole of July, but nature may not have been entirely to blame.

Shizuoka Gov. Heita Kawakatsu said the prefecture was looking into whether development projects played a role by leaving a large mound of dirt that appears to have collapsed into the river, while also deforesting the area and reducing the capacity of mountain soil to retain water, according to Japanese media reports."

There's one aspect of that ... even if the development projects did do this, they didn't anticipate a month's worth of rain in a day.

And some people say climate change won't cause more disasters.

Some (the same people, generally) are wrong about this -- obviously.
