It was likely downvoted at the time because it adds little to the discussion. It just laundry-lists some disasters. Disasters occur every year, with the caveat that we may know about more of them for various reasons including more information being gathered and more information being disseminated. Unfortunately, the dipshit comment (now flagged) a couple of replies above yours catapulted the other dipshit comment into upvote territory because despite its total lack of substance, people had to upvote it as some kind of political statement. Yeah, how dare this be downvoted, it's a very important comment (stating nothing of importance) about how disaster is happening everywhere all the time with zero nuance or introspection about why this might be! Le upvote!
