Theres nothing like a big natural disaster to get all the doom propheteers talking, apparently we have between ten - twenty years before our way of live in the western hemisphere with regards to carbon emissions starts un-reversible effects on the earths climate, I don't know how much credence to give end of the world theories anymore since they are often discredited.
However we have put a hole in the ozone layer and we are using up our natural reserves of fuel so we are definately capable of affecting the planet with our actions as a species and I can't see how, if we continue as we are that the planet will support us.
The natural disasters of recent years are just that, natural, they have nothing to do with us as their cause so I don't think they should be taken as indicators that the end is upon us
