Re: 2015, one of lowest tornado years on record.
Like I said, deaths from drought (and all weather related events) are down massively around the world, in a time where populations have exploded, and in the west drought related deaths are all but eliminated (they're down 99.8% since 1900). It's really not a problem, and with improving energy sources (particularly Nuclear) we'll soon be able to have mass desalination in areas where water as a resource is going to be highly important (Southern state, Gulf countries, India in winter Australia etc), and due to this we'll be able to better hydrate the environment too. It's really not a problem.
Crops and livestock are rarely devastated by flooding, flooding almost always occurs where it was occurring anyway (Cumbria in England floods pretty much every year, and badly every 4/5, and has been doing so since the stone ages, for example), or in big built up areas where livestock and crops aren't around.
Yeah still no;

Lord of Planar has summed this is up pretty well, and it's not like we've not had to deal with rising sea levels before is it
For example the English channel used to be a hunting land for our ancient ancestors, it's not exactly like we're using that land right now is it? Also I doubt we have any control over sea level rise.
Yet recent studies have shown ocean life to be remarkably resilient to PH change, particularly towards the acidic end, the decimation of the world fish stocks have had more impact in the growth of jellyfish populations than acidification has.
Having air con in the Parisian homes with slate roof's would have save many lives, and it was the inadequate response of authorities which only exacerbated the problem. Most countries south of France are already dealing with hot summer weather and have adapted using air con and socially, such as the Spanish Siesta.

Getting a bit personal here folks. Keep the commentary directed at other posters to 0.
