I'm on both sides on that one. True, major "acts of God" have been happening for billions of years. We have too much coverage in the media. Many of the things that happened in the past in third world countries were never even recorded in the past, and weather patterns didn't even start to be recorded until the mid-1800's. I also believe the "acts of man" have changed drastically for the worse like never seen before in our past history. Could all of these events together be related? Not to scare anyone, but something to think about...
