In spite of the amount of hate I'll be getting for this: While the loss of life is saddening the world population is continuing to grow, global warming (as well as disease) can be construed as the Earth correcting for too many humans. Our technological advancements have saved a lot of lives and vastly increased life expectancy, while contributing to global warming. You assume it is our responsibility to ensure no humans die, which under normal circumstances makes sense as according to evolution our purpose is to ensure the survival of our species. However, we will eventually reach the point where a decreased population is more likely to help humanity prosper. N.B. this is spoken from the view of a detached observer and once anything becomes personal obviously the arguments are different and feelings and emotions come into play.
