On the other hand....

A massive earthquake has hit the Subcontinent, and apparently the death toll from Hurricane Stan (STAN? Dear sweet God, soon they'll have to start the alphabet over again if this goes on) is near 2000 people.

Am I an ignorant American, or have there been more than the average number of natural disasters in this past year or so?

What the others have said. Tropical Depression 22 is currently churning up in the Atlantic. If it gets stronger it will be named "Vince". Then the next one -- if there is another -- will be "Wilma". And then after that, it's "Alpha".

From what I've heard from The Weather Channel, more hurricanes is the result of warmer ocean temperatures, which give storms more energy. Even if the warmth is only a half-degree Celsius.

Who still says global warming isn't a problem?
